No Split between Rushdie and Padma Lakshmi
Setting at rest speculation that he and his actress wife were separating, author Salman Rushdie has said there is no “splitsville” between them and they are together and extremely happy. “All I did was say to some journalist that in the last couple of months we haven”t seen much of each other because she’s been making a TV series in LA. “It’s kind of difficult. It’s difficult for any working couple to deal with this question of separations. But actually, there is no ’splitsville”. We are extremely happy. We are here. She is here. We are living in the same place in New York. Anish had lunch with us yesterday. Everything is fine,” he said in an interview to ”The Times” newspaper today. Rushdie gave the interview with London-based NRI Sculptor Anish Kapoor. Both Rushdie and Kapoor were born in Mumbai and moved to Britain in their youth. For the first time the novelist and the sculptor have collaborated on a work of art, Blood Relations, to be shown at London’s Lisson Gallery.
