Rushdie, whose novel Midnight’s Children was voted last week as the best ever Booker prize-winning novel, split with model Padma Lakshmi after their marriage broke down last year and now friends of Riya say the author is “pursuing” her.

The pair are said to be exchanging emails regularly and Riya said: “We get on really well, but we are just friends. I met him through a family friend.”

The 27-year-old also confirmed she had been invited to New York but insisted: “No really, we are not an item.”
