Padma Lakshmi shared a 1977 childhood photograph from Chennai, recalling summers with her family, learning to drive her grandfather's Ambassador, and memories of cooking lessons, mosquitoes and the Coromandel sun. The nostalgic Instagram post delighted fans with a glimpse into her early life

Padma has been gradually introducing her 14-year-old daughter Krisha to the public eye through social media.

Lakshmi asked in the video what other slang she should know, and her 14-year-old daughter responded, 'Don’t say sus. I’ve heard you say that. It’s short for suspect, or suspicious,' according to people.com.

The 50-year-old star posted the throwback photograph on Instagram, of a jewellery campaign shoot, and quoted Oprah Winfrey in the caption.
