It's been a week since Padma's six-year-old daughter Krishna (with venture capitalist Adam Dell) celebrated her first day of first grade.

'It felt like when my mom used to drop me off at the airport to send me back to India! It felt like that,' the New Dehli-born beauty explained to Us Weekly.

'I was like, "This is it! This is a really big day. This is the start of your academic career." It's a really big milestone.'
