India’s Odd Couple Call It Quits

India’s Odd Couple Call It Quits

The glamorous host of Bravo's “Top Chef” and the author of The Satanic Verses seemed like an odd fit to begin with. So perhaps it’s only natural that Padma Lakshmi and Salman Rushdie are splitting up after a three-year marriage.

Word of their split and impending divorce started circulating over the weekend. 

It's Rushdie’s fourth marriage, which isn't all that surprising. After his infamous book was published in 1988, Rushdie drew the ire of many Muslims. Some marriages have problems with things like intimacy or communication. And as difficult as those things are to overcome, what do you suppose it would be like being married to a guy who had a fatwa issued against him?

 

The fact that there’s a 24-year age gap between Lakshmi, who's 36, and Rushdie, who's 60, probably didn’t help either. A picture of the two of them together leaves you saying, “Padma, honey, you can do better than that.”

With all the hot chefs out there, the kitchen is probably just the place for Ms. Lakshmi.
