In Hardee’s commercial, Lakshmi saunters through a market, running her shapely fingers through spices and such like. After confessing “I’ve tasted every flavour imaginable”, she sits down on a flight of stairs and starts to eat a burger - in a way that appears to be making out with the food. She hitches up her skirt to reveal her thigh, while the meat threatens to fall into her cleavage. A lustful Lakshmi then licks sauce off her slender arm in a come-hither manner.
Ad-guru Prahlad Kakkar is all praise. He gushes, “Only Padma Lakshmi could have done this,” says ad man Prahlad Kakkar.
