19. Padma Lakshmi – scarred arm
Padma Lakshmi is a media multi-hyphenate. Not only is she a world famous model and TV host, she’s also a successful author, actress and columnist to boot. That’s quite a CV.

What’s most amazing is that Lakshmi managed to cultivate such a healthy career in an image-obsessed industry despite a blatant physical flaw.
You will see that on Lakshmi’s right arm, there is a seven-inch scar that she’s had since she was a teen.

Lakshmi got the scar when she was only 14 years old, after the family car crashed 40ft off the freeway.
The crash shattered Lakshmi’s right arm and left her with a surgery scar, measuring 7 inches long and half an inch wide. Sounds extremely painful.

Lakshmi has categorically refused to hide it, though, telling reporters “My body is a blueprint of my life, of every tragedy – emotional or physical.”
