Her humanitarian and progressive qualities have been instrumental in the enhancement of her creativity. She has realised the true role of an artiste. She made use of her creative talents to portray those qualities. I share this moment of sorrow with the rest of her family."
Ahasin tharuwak kada vetenava....... Tharuwa katha ne....ahasai velapenne.......... Natuwen nembul malak vetenawa......... Male katha ne....natuwai velepenne.........
A star falls from the sky… The star is silent… It is the sky that cries… A flower falls gently from the stem… The flower is silent… It is the stem that cries... (A verse from a popular song sung by Malini Bulathsinhala)
