Q: Coming from a family who has ties with cinema was it pre destined that you would become an actress ?
A: I made my acting debut as a three year old playing the role of Malani Fonseka’s daughter in ‘Apaye Thathpara 84,000’. Then I became a TV presenter through Sirasa TV’s ‘Punchi Panchi’ children’s programme. I was a part of that show for seven years! My first teledrama was ‘Wassana Sihinaya’ which was based on Upul Shantha Sannasgala’s romantic novel. Then I went on to do more roles in teledrams like ‘Sanda Giri Pawwa’, ‘Hithata Wahal Weema’, ‘Piyavi’ etc
