“The whole world was swallowed up by the plague in March,” Padma wrote in her post, referring to the global health crisis. “We were lucky, but so many weren’t, and I felt an impending doom, a creeping anxiety I could not shake.” Her words resonate deeply, reminding us of the resilience and compassion that define her spirit.
View this post on InstagramBirthday thoughts ⛅️ This year has been a mix of misery and elation. The whole world was swallowed up by the plague In March. We were lucky but so many weren’t and I felt an impending doom, a creeping anxiety I could not shake. Then another Black life was taken and it was good that we all rose up- but so painful too. So painful that some of our fellow Americans could not even bring themselves to say that Black lives matter, some who hold our highest offices. But personally, at home things were peaceful. We made a cocoon for our family. We lived for the first time-all under one roof. We became closer. And professionally, I finally got to show the world what I would do if I got to build a show from scratch. ‘Taste the Nation’ was well received beyond my wildest dreams, 100% even on rotten tomatoes! But the best of all was hearing how all of you felt when you watched it, reading how families watched together. The episode with my mother and littlehands felt like a tribute to all my mother and millions of other immigrant parents had sacrificed. I cannot ask for anything more. I am truly blessed: a loving and attentive partner, a child that continues to be a miracle every day and work that I am proud of and fully engaged by with people I love. I am today very lucky. But I am also a product of the toil and troubles my younger self endured. And I thank that version of me. Thank you all so much for joining me on this trip. I have loved sharing it with all of you everyday (even the Trump supporters or those that disagree with me) #thisis50 #virgoseason
A Year of Growth and Gratitude
Despite the hardships, Padma also celebrated the highlights of the past year. She expressed gratitude for the time spent with her family, noting how they created a peaceful environment during the pandemic. “We lived, for the first time, all under one roof. We became closer,” she shared, capturing the essence of togetherness and love.
Professionally, Padma highlighted the success of her show, Taste the Nation, which was met with overwhelming praise. “It was well-received beyond my wildest dreams, 100 percent even on Rotten Tomatoes!” she exclaimed. This achievement underscores her talent and dedication, proving that hard work truly pays off.

A Blessed Life
Padma concluded her reflections by expressing immense gratitude for her life. “I am today very lucky. But I am also a product of the toil and troubles my younger self endured. And I thank that version of me,” she wrote. Her words serve as a powerful reminder that every challenge we face shapes us into who we are meant to become.
Padma’s journey with Adam Dell began in 2009, two years after her divorce from the renowned novelist Salman Rushdie. In 2010, she welcomed their daughter, Krishna, into the world, though they faced a custody battle that was eventually resolved amicably in 2012. After years of co-parenting, they rekindled their romance in 2017, and their relationship has only grown stronger since.
As we celebrate Padma’s 50th birthday, we can’t help but wish her all the happiness and success she truly deserves. Here’s to Padma, shining brighter than ever before!
