Dell is willing to play father to Padma’s kid

New York: Her mother may have decided to keep her father’s name a secret, but Krishna Thea Lakshmi, Indian supermodel Padma Lakshmi’s baby will have a dad in her life.
Adam Dell, the younger brother of billionaire computer maker Michael Dell, who is rumoured to be the baby’s father, is delighted with the birth and wants to fulfil the father’s role in Krishna’s life, reported New York Post online.
The stunning Top Chef host has not identified the father, but sources close to the 40-year-old venture capitalist say that he is looking forward to spending time with his daughter.
Lakshmi, 39, the ex-wife of author Salman Rushdie, was first spotted with Adam Dell nearly two years ago at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival. The pair was again spotted with Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley at Evelyn Lauder’s party for breast cancer research.
Some reports also suggest that her rumoured former boyfriend, the owner of the IMG talent agency Teddy Forstmann, could be her baby’s daddy.
When she announced her pregnancy in October 2009, online rumours were rampant that a man named Manu Nathan is the father, but Lakshmi’s representative had lashed out at those reports saying Manu is, in fact, the model’s cousin.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
