Padma Lakshmi, an Indo-American model and the sexy host of TV cookery show ‘Top Chef’, is not the only female to pose in the buff for the mag. E! talk show host Chelsea Handler, ‘Dollhouse’ fantastic performer Eliza Dushku and actresses Sharon Leal and Lynn Collins have bared their sensuous skin for the May issue of ‘Allure’. Not only are they featured naked in the magazine, they all have bared some sexy secrets about their bodies.

“I tend to sleep in the nude. I’m an innately tactile person and a very sensual-leaning woman,” says Padma to Allure. While Dushku said: “I’ll strip down to my underwear and my Ugg boots when I eat lunch in my trailer.”

Padma, the ex wife of celebrated writer Salman Rushdie, didn’t have to prepare hard for the shoot, as she doesn’t like to follow a strict diet regimen. According to her, she looks better when her breasts are “fuller” (whole-heartedly agreed!). In the snapshots you can also see a 7-inch scar on her right arm. It’s from a car accident she had at the age of 14. Padma says she loves this mark as it makes her feel that she can endure any kind of pain and makes her a strong individual.

Padma, who acted in Bollywood movie Boom , also revealed to the magazine that she is comfortable with nudity: “I didn’t feel any more naked without my robe. I don’t have any stigma attached to my body. When I’m in my own private space, I have very little on.”

The Allure ‘Naked Truth’ feature will hit the stands on April 21.
