“So, do I have it all?
Do I have it all, like I want it, at once?
In 2009, she helped establish EndoFound (previously called Endometriosis Foundation of America) with Dr. Tamer Seckin.
EndoFund initiated the nation’s inaugural interdisciplinary research center for gynepathology in collaboration with Harvard Medical School and MIT.
That same year, she learned she was pregnant with Krishna.
Her pregnancy was not easy.
When she welcomed a healthy baby Krishna in 2010, Padma was overcome by emotion.
“I was overjoyed, I’ve never known a happiness like that in my life.
It almost breaks you in two, the happiness,” she said.
“I was an adult woman who was independent, and I led my life accordingly.
Regardless of how Krishna got here, I am so thankful and blessed that she is here.”
Though Krishna initially did not take her biological father’s last name, that didn’t stick.
Forstmann’s role in Krishna’s life was emblematic of a father’s love.
“He held my hand and he held it very publicly.”
Forstmann died the year after Krishna was born.
Padma has opened up about leading a one-parent household.
“In truth, I am a single mother.
But I don’t feel alone at all in parenting my daughter,” she explained to Yahoo!
Shine (viaPeople).
“Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her, too.
As noted in theDaily Mail, the exact amount left to Krishna was not made public.
This early inheritance presumably set Krishna for life.
“But it sounds like he was closest to this woman.
There’s more to it here.”
Padma’s daughter has also appeared on the Hulu docuseries “Taste the Nation.”
To honor Krishna’s Ashkenazi Jewish side of the family, Padma and Krishna filmed a Chanukah-themed segment together.
This led to more kitchen fun and antics with mother and daughter sharing the screen on TV and TikTok.
“She’s much more creative than I am,” Padma gushed.
“I’m very proud of her.”
While Krishna may have taken to cooking quickly, Padma evidently struggled with the TikTok dances.
Ultimately, she made the decision to allow Krishna to post.
As time went on, Padma reversed her decision.
“She’s a big girl, she just turned 12.
She also got her nose pierced recently, it looks fantastic.”
A few months later, Padma posted some sweet photos from her daughter’s big day.
A big year for my baby girl,” the proud mom wrote onInstagram.
Krishna also honors her mother’s culture and faith.
Padma, who was born in India, is Hindu, andshe and Krishna celebrate Diwalitogether year after year.
“Krishna was very proud of her shaved head.
I prepared her for it,” she told Avenue (viaStraus Media).
As Krishna Thea Lakshmi-Dell grows up, she’s stepped out in the public eye more and more.
And a few years before that, Krishna made her red carpet debut when she went to the Emmys.
That said, her mom was careful to keep her out of the spotlight at the event.
What’s more, the “Taste the Nation” host stopped obscuring her daughter’s face on Instagram.
I wanted to be helpful to people by doing the little cooking videos and she would always come in.
So I’m not sure what I achieved by always putting stars in her eyes.”

This lesson taught Krishna that it’s okay not to be perfect all the time.

I just, in quarantine it became hard to always keep her out of the kitchen.
