It appears she has a foot and a half wound that's about an inch wide on her right arm. Any idea what happened?

Got this from a source listed below, hope this answers your question:
"Born in New Delhi in 1971, Padma Lakshmi spent most of her adolescence in the United States. From a very young age Padma knew she was beautiful. In fact, she recalls having worn her first seductive dress at only 9 years old. It was always her dream to be a model.
Her mother, however, insisted that Padma get a college degree first, telling her that if she was beautiful at 17, she'd be beautiful at 21, with a degree in hand. Around this time, Padma got into a serious car accident, which left a 7-inch scar on her right arm. This would become her signature feature, that curious imperfection that makes her all the more lovely and exotic"

THAT IS IN FACT MY LAST QUESTION, HOW DID YOU GET THE SCAR ON YOUR ARM? When I was 14 I had a car accident driving with my parents and my right arm flew over my mother's chest - I was sitting in the middle in the front seat. We went off the freeway into an embankment, hit a tree which fell on top of the car causing the dashboard and roof to cave in. My arm flew onto my mother's chest and broke in many places. In spite of that my mother broke 4 ribs and her sternum. I am thankful for my scar. I wouldn't have it any other way. The scar is a result of multiple surgeries on my arm. I've had a metal plate in my arm and screws and physical therapy before high school 3 mornings a week for months and months. But I am lucky to be alive and that my mom is alive. I have complete use of my arms. I can stir pasta, belly dance, and box!

She talked about it on The View. She was in a bad car accident when she was younger and she still has the scar. She talked about how it always made her uncomfortable when she used to be a model, but now she wears it as a badge of honor.

She was in a car accident when she was fourteen, which left a distinctive scar on her right arm.[
