Indian model-turned-TV host Padma Lakshmi is facing a custody challenge from the reported father of her baby daughter.
Venture capitalist Adam Dell, brother of computer magnate Michael Dell, filed papers in a New York court on Tuesday demanding visitation rights to see Lakshmi’s 11-month-old daughter Krishna Thea, reported TMZ.
Dell is currently allowed to see the tot nine days-a-month as part of an unofficial deal in place until February 20 this year when the little girl turns 12-months-old.
The Top Chef presenter, who has never confirmed the child’s paternity, has reportedly attempted to make a new custody agreement with Dell but their negotiations fell through.

Pattinson, Keira to act together
London: Hollywood actress Keira Knightley is all set to star opposite actor Robert Pattinson in David Cronenberg’s new movie Cosmopolis.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star will replace French beauty Marion Cotillard after the pregnant actress backed out of the project due to schedule conflicts, Femalefirst reported.
The 24-year-old British actress will play the wife of Pattinson’s character, Eric Parker on the big screen adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel, about a multi-millionaire asset manager who loses his fortune in 24 hours.
