Padma Lakshmi Poses Nude

Padma Lakshmi‘s favorite part of her body may be surprising – it’s the seven-inch scar on her forearm from a car accident at the age of 14.

The Top Chef host admits in May’s annual nude issue of Allure magazine,

“I love it because it makes me a person who has an interesting past, and it reminds me that I can survive any pain.”

Lakshmi, 38, and four other Hollywood personalities stripped down for the feature. The cookbook-author and model says she has no problem being photographed in such a way.

“I didn’t feel any more naked without my robe. I don’t have any stigma attached to my body. When I’m in my own private space, I have very little on.”

Comedienne Chelsea Handler, Dollhouse’s Eliza Dushku, actress Sharon Leal and Lynn Collins, from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, also posed. All five say they were comfortable being nude.

“I’ll strip down to my underwear and my Ugg boots when I eat lunch in my trailer,” Dushku, 28, says.

Lakshmi wasn’t the only one to tout a particular body part. “My boobs are good,” says the ever-candid Handler, 34. “They’re real and perky. Even if you can’t see them, the important thing is that I know about them, and the guys I’ve slept with know about them.”
