Results: Celebrity Scars (Part 4 of 7)
This series shares the backstories (many of which are unsettling) of how some stars acquired scars. I find the adaptability and perseverance of these survivors inspiring.

When former "Top Chef" host, food expert, and author Padma Lakshmi was 14, the car she was riding in with her mother and step-father was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler. Their sedan went airborne, dropping 40 ft down an embankment, and was stopped when it struck a tree. Freed by the "jaws of life", Padma had shattered her right arm and fractured her right hip. Fortunately, she regained full use of both after surgery, but has a 7-inch scar on her upper arm. Although all 3 suffered serious injuries, are you surprised that they survived an accident of this magnitude?

Although she was originally very self-conscious about her scar, and covered it with make-up, Padma now views it as a reminder of her survival. "It's what sets me apart and makes me, me. And even if someone could wave a magic wand, I really don't think I would choose to eliminate my scar." Would you feel the same way?
No, I'd want it gone!
