"Padma Lakshmi has revealed that she is thrilled to be a new mother. The Top Chef host explained that her life has changed since she welcomed her daughter Krisha Thea last month. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s very independent and very funny,&amp;quot; Lakshmi told People. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s a good communicator and is very witty already.&amp;quot; Lakshmi also admitted that she is glad she does not have to spend any time away from her baby at the moment. &amp;quot;Right now I&amp;#039;m not working, [but] when I go back to work I&amp;#039;ll have her with me,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;[My life] is totally centred on my nursing schedule. I sleep in short spurts. It&amp;#039;s pretty intense, but I&amp;#039;m lucky.&amp;quot; Lakshmi added that she cannot explain how she felt when she gave birth to Krisha. &amp;quot;I can only speak for myself obviously, but I don&amp;#039;t think you have cognitive thought [when you meet your baby],&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not a conceptual thing that you put into words. It&amp;#039;s almost like you don&amp;#039;t think, you just feel. Your heart just explodes with love. My life has changed from night to day.&amp;quot; Lakshmi has refused to publicly name the father of her baby, but recent reports have suggested that venture capitalist Adam Dell is Krisha&amp;#039;s dad.
