Adam Bell, the child’s father is seeking a greater role in this 11-month daughter, Krishna’s upbringing, as he feels that Padma Lakshmi is unable to devote much time from her busy schedule to devote to her child.
"[Dell] is the parent who can be relied upon to put Krishna's needs before his own," reads the suit, according to digitalspy.com. "[Lakshmi's] career as a television personality and her commitment to celebrity status involve a hectic, irregular schedule and require frequent and distant travel," it further adds.
Dell also claimed that Lakshmi has tried "to minimise, if not eliminate, [his] role in Krishna's life" by encouraging the child to view her current partner Ted Forstmann as a father figure.
Naturally this is denied by Lakshmi’s spokeswoman, Christina Papadopoulos : "Ms Lakshmi's sole interest lies in preserving the privacy and welfare of her daughter and in working out a fair and amicable agreement out of the media's glare." Her lawyer reiterated the plea that she wanted to settle the case out of the media glare in court as it should be done when a small child is involved.
