Answer 1

I don't know how you happened to post your question under Dining out in Singapore, but you are referring to Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie, a British-Indian novelist and essayist, who is married to the Indian actress and model Padma Lakshmi, the host of the American reality-television show Top Chef.
