His hands were in my underpants: Padma Lakshmi's shocking confession will give you chills!

Actress Padma Lakshmi has had a turbulent life. The actress who was married to author Salman Rushdie had a tumultuous relationship and marriage with the celebrated writer. Now, she has put all her life episodes in a book she has written. And titled it 'Love, Loss And What We Ate'.

But there's an episode which no one knew about. Until recently, till the book was launched. In her memoir, she has written about how she was molested by a relative of her stepfather then and the entire story will give you chills.

Padma lived with her mother in a small apartment in Queens, New York where she shared her room with her then-stepfather's relative. Shocking to the core, Padma makes this revelation where she wrote, "One night, I woke up to his hand in my underpants. He took my hand and placed it inside his briefs. I don’t know how many times it happened before, since I suspect I slept through some incidents. Once you take a girl’s innocence, you can never get it back. What I remember more is telling my mother what happened and her believing me and then she and I telling someone else that it happened and that person not believing me. And then the next week, I was sent to India. In retrospect however, he should have been the one to go. Years later, in tears, my mother would acknowledge this grave mistake." 

We're shocked. But kudos to the brave actress who could finally come out and tell the world about the physical and emotional turmoil she went through.
