7. Padma Lakhsmi’s Near Death Experience

Padma Lakshmi

If fate gave Ke$ha a tail, it gave Padma Lakshmi a nasty scar when she was a teenager. Lakshmi was involved in a terrible car accident that totally shattered her arm. Thankfully her appendage was salvaged, but a nasty scar remains today to remind her – and the world – of her close call with death. Unlike some other celebs though, Lakshmi refuses to hide her scar, wearing sleeveless or short sleeved outfits which allow the scar to be clearly visible. We think folks who feel ashamed of showing their scars should take a leaf out of Lakshmi’s book and flaunt them with pride. After all, it’s a life experience that made her stronger.
