Indian-born cookbook author, actress, model and Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi is six-months pregnant but that didn't stop her from going nude. She has bared it all for a photo spread to be featured in the latest issue of Page Six magazine.

On the cover of the magazine, naked Padma is seen sitting with both her knees bending to cover the front part of her body, even as she offers a sharp look. In a photo inside the magazine, she poses like Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus for the Vanity Fair.

Padma, who was once married to award-winning author Salman Rushdie, has not revealed the father of her baby. She said that she prefers to be naked, as putting on clothes is like putting on a character. She added that clothes are just adjectives and indicators. “When you don't have any clothes on, it's just you, raw, and you can't hide," she said.

Well, she said that she has been trying to reconstruct her life and get back to her real self. She added that she is still growing.
