Her lengthy caption detailed the mixed emotions she had been grappling with this past year amid the pandemic.

From the highs to the lows, Padma candidly described them all.

While admitting just how fortunate she has been, she acknowledged 2020 has been a painful year for so many.   

‘Birthday thoughts,’ she began with a cloudy sun emoji. ‘This year has been a mix of misery and elation.

‘The whole world was swallowed up by the plague In March. We were lucky but so many weren’t and I felt an impending doom, a creeping anxiety I could not shake.

‘Then another Black life was taken and it was good that we all rose up- but so painful too. So painful that some of our fellow Americans could not even bring themselves to say that Black lives matter, some who hold our highest offices.

‘But personally, at home things were peaceful. We made a cocoon for our family. We lived for the first time-all under one roof. We became closer.

‘And professionally, I finally got to show the world what I would do if I got to build a show from scratch. “Taste the Nation” was well received beyond my wildest dreams, 100% even on rotten tomatoes!

‘I cannot ask for anything more. I am truly blessed: a loving and attentive partner, a child that continues to be a miracle every day and work that I am proud of and fully engaged by with people I love.

‘I am today very lucky. But I am also a product of the toil and troubles my younger self endured. And I thank that version of me.
