Padma Lakshmi Shares Annual Pajama Day Ritual with Teenage Daughter

Padma Lakshmi, the 55-year-old TV star and former Top Chef host, shares a close, open relationship with her 15-year-old daughter, Krishna, though they navigate the typical "turbulence" of teenage years together. Each year, they enjoy a special "pyjama day," where they wear fresh pajamas, read, study, watch movies, and share homemade meals like broth with noodles and tea with sandwiches, emphasizing quality time. Krishna has been approached to model like her mother but aims to pursue acting and singing, with Padma encouraging her to achieve success through her own accomplishments rather than appearance alone. Padma also champions confidence and body positivity, feeling more confident now than in her 20s, and advocates that women shouldn't fear aging as life improves with experience. The duo recently collaborated on a holiday campaign for Soma Intimates' Cool Nights loungewear, which they both appreciate for comfort and style, fitting into their lifestyle seamlessly. Despite occasional disagreements, Padma values their frank communication and hopes their strong bond will continue to grow.
