CHAUTAUQUA, NEW YORK — Booker Prize-winning Indian-British-American novelist Salman Rushdie has had a complicated love life. The ‘Midnight’s Children’ author had been married four times before, but none of those marriages survived. His last wife is the model Padma Lakshmi, of Indian and American origin. In fact, Lakshmi was seen going about her business in New York just hours after her ex-husband Rushdie was stabbed. She was dressed in a denim sweater, face mask and glasses during this time.

After being attacked by Hadi Matar, 24, as he was about to deliver a talk on stage for the 2022 CHQ event in Chautauqua, near Buffalo, New York, on Friday August 12, Rushdie is currently being held down alive by a ventilator. Matar attacked Rushdie as he was about to speak at the event. After “The Satanic Verses” was published in 1988, Rushdie was the target of death threats for several years. In Iran, publication of the controversial book was banned and Ayatollah Khomenei reportedly put a $3.3 million bounty on the author’s head.

Author Salman Rushdie, who has received numerous death threats throughout his career, is said to have been hiding in a safe house equipped with bombproof curtains.

“Fatwa fired like a bullet,” Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran said in response to the assassination of Salman Rushdie.

The year 1976 marked the year Rushdie married Clarissa Luard. In 1969, the two met at a concert. She began working as an advertising executive for London publishing house Paul Elek in 1974 while living with the then unpublished author. Between the years of 1976 and 1987, Rushdie was married to Clarissa, and the couple welcomed their son Zafar into the world in 1979. In the mid-1980s, Rushdie divorced his first wife in order to be with Australian author Robyn Davidson. Davidson and Rushdie knew each other through their mutual acquaintance Bruce Chatwin.

In 1999, Luard died of complications from his illness. In a 2016 interview with Big Issue Magazine, Rushdie said: “It’s true that I have tremendous remorse about the dissolution of my first marriage, which was to the woman who gave birth to my eldest son. , Zafar. . Unfortunately, she passed away when he was only 19, but by then we had managed to restore our friendship with each other. I was there with her in the hospital the day she died, holding her hand. The marriage ended, but the two continued to have a relationship. He went on to say, “When we first came together we were very young, and in the fifteen years since then each of us has grown into a unique individual. But we were able to end things in a civilized way.

After his marriage to Clarissa ended in divorce, in 1988 Rushdie married author Marianne Wiggins, who is from the United States. When the fatwa was issued, the couple were in Lodon at the time. The fatwa called for Rushdie’s execution because of his novel “The Satanic Verses.” Before divorcing in 1993, the couple fled into hiding together for several years.

Wiggins is an accomplished writer who received the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize in 1989 for his work titled “John Dollar”. In 2003, the novel “Evidence of Things Unseen” that she wrote was one of the books that competed for the coveted National Book Award.

British-Indian-born novelist Salman Rushdie walks out of the High Court in London, England August 26, 2008, accompanied by his ex-wife Elizabeth West and their son Milan Rushdie. In response to allegations made against Salman Rushdie and his ex-wife in the memoirs of his former Special Branch bodyguard, former police officer Ron Evans, Evans’ ghostwriter, and John Blake Publishing Ltd. apologized to Rushdie. Evans’ memoir was the source of the allegations.

In 1997, after his second divorce, Salman Rushdie married another writer named Elizabeth West. The two worked together on Rushdie’s book, “Mirrorwork: 50 Years of Indian Writing 1947-1997”, which she co-edited with Rushdie. In 1997, Rushdie and West welcomed their second child together, a son named Milan. In 2004, the couple finalized their divorce.

Padma Lakshmi

The Metropolitan Opera’s 2006-2007 season opening night was held at Lincoln Center on September 25, 2006 in New York City. Salman Rushdie and model Padma Lakshmi were present.

The most problematic of Rushdie’s four marriages was his fourth, which he entered into with model and Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi. Lakshmi, who is 23 years younger than him, described their eight-year romance in his “Love, Loss, and What We Ate” biography in a condescending and mocking manner. The first time the two paths crossed was in 1999, at an extravagant New York party hosted by media mogul Tina Brown. Lakshmi claimed that she and Rushdie were having an affair and that he made a vow to be with her at the end of his marriage to his third wife.

Rushdie’s work “Fury”, published in 2001, was devoted to Lakshmi. The couple married in 2004 and later separated in 2007. At the time of the wedding, Lakshmi was just 28 years old while Rushdie was 51. In her memoir, Lakshmi described Salman Rushdie as a “baby insecure and insensitive pamper who needed constant praise, food and care, as well as regular sex
