She Now Appreciates Her Scar As A Part Of Her Identity
In spite of her earlier efforts to hide them, Padma Lakshmi has finally come to terms with her scars and has learnt to embrace them. Padma was only 14 years old when she was involved in a car accident that left her with multiple scars, the most visible of which is on her arm.
The model’s first instinct was to hide the scar on her arm behind makeup and cover-up postures. Conversely, she now appreciates her scar and sees it as an essential part of who she is. If someone could wave a magic wand and make my scar disappear, I still don’t think I’d choose to have it done.
