New York, November 30 : Padma Lakshmi has declared her love for the naked form, saying: "I like me better naked."

The pregnant ‘Top Chef’ host, who refuses to reveal the father, insists upon the purity of the natural form.

"I don''t mean that in a vain way . . . When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on,” the New York Post quoted her as saying.

“Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don''t have any clothes on, it''s just you, raw, and you can''t hide," she added. (ANI)
