Padma zipped her jacket over a navy top and slipped into a pair of fitted trousers that emphasized her knockout legs.
Warding off the rays in a pair of purple aviators, she balanced expertly on a pair of black leather high-heeled boots while pounding the pavement.
Padma shares Krishna with with venture capitalist Adam Dell, whose brother Michael Dell founded the famous computer company that bears his surname.
As she explained in her memoir Love, Loss And What We Ate, she was initially unsure who her baby’s father was when she discovered she was pregnant.

The options were Adam and the late IMG CEO Teddy Forstmann, whom she dated concurrently after her 2007 divorce from Salman Rushdie.
A paternity test proved Adam to have sired Krishna and a contentious custody battle followed but the co-parents are now on friendly terms.
Years ago Padma explained how she keeps her figure in such enviably svelte shape despite the amount of eating she has to do on Top Chef.
She told Hamptons magazine in 2013: ‘I have a funny picture of myself that my makeup artist took on set – I’m wearing a black dress, but I’m actually doing push-ups backstage. I carry a jump rope in my bag. I work out whenever I can.’

In addition to exercise she also said that she would embark on ‘a major food detoxification’ during Top Chef’s off-season.
‘That means no wheat, no red meat, no cheese, no sweets, no alcohol, no fried food – and the last two I have to say are the most difficult,’ she dished.
‘I usually gain 15 pounds in the time it takes for us to shoot, and it takes me double the time to lose it,’ confessed the Chennai-born celeb.
