Daily NEWS Srilanka

After a certain lady complained that tele-actress Gayathri Dias had grabbed her lover and that story was circulating across social media, Gayathri had responded to it in a shaken up mood across a Rupavahini channel last week. She had remarked "In future it will come out across newspapers and names of several persons who were closely associated with me will be revealed". Exactly as she said she has mentioned

Gayathri happens to be the legal wife of Channa Perera and the mother of 2 children. When inquiring into the reply she had given at this interview it is quite evident that she is in an entirely different world of her own having distanced herself from that family and there are clues to say that her heartache has not been targeted at the female who has woven up false stories but at Anuj Ranasingha the model who incidentally became Mr. Sri Lanka 2011 and after having struck up an intimate relationship with her has now gone behind abandoning her. That discussion is as follows:

   It's a gift that was given to me by several of those who knew me during a period of time which now has flared up like this. If it's something true I can make up my mind thinking that it's of course a fault of mine. But what I feel sorry is what happened because of a story without any foundation as such.

   I came to know of this female in 2015. It was at a Katina Pinkama held at the amateur actor Anuj Ranasingha, the performer's house. Since a certain person shouting about and comporting herself in an unbefitting manner at the occasion ... I asked Anuj who it was. Then Anuj said it was someone whom he came to know at the gym. That day I attended the Pinkama with an ailment in my foot. It was even difficult for me to walk. Having seen this condition she came and spoke. What she wanted was to get friendly with me. Somehow or other she applied oil on my foot and struck up a friendship with me.

   Yes. As she was a friend of Anuj and with the approval of Anuj that I kept on with that friendship. She was someone who moves around with many males, frequents night clubs and dresses immodestly. Since it's her privacy I won't make it relevant to me. She used to accompany me on journeys which I undertook alone. That was on her and Anuj's wishes. She came with me to attend many a festival after asking me whether she could come. It was later that I came to know that she attended those occasions to which she was not invited and made alliances by thus making use of me. She could get friendly with any person quickly. But even if she returned at 2 or 3 in the morning she never gets herself dropped at home. She would get down at a three-wheel park somewhere in Moratuwa and walk away. She hasn't ever shown where she was living.

   No ... what she wanted was to get herself connected to those things. It was for that that she sharply used us.

   No ... not to my knowledge. From where she gets the money I don't know.

   Yes. Anuj started an affair with the new actress called Dusheni Silva. I was not aware of it. Some days back I went to Canada for a week. It was Anuj himself who dropped me at the airport. However it was from that day that he changed. Thinking that my friendship was an obstacle for their new affair he had taken a decision on his own. Only when inquiring about the change that I came to hear the news.

   Definitely yes. But if I was left to live alone by myself I could have made up my mind. But because of things that he does to get marks from his new lover I have been inconvenienced and subjected to shame.

   I am not such a foolish woman. That referred-to lady and the performer called Dinesh was sent to me in a strategic manner to convey the idea that I am a worry to Anuj and to save him.

   Are you mad? If he has no use of my friendship why should I go behind him? But Anuj spoke to me even after he went. He spoke as if he doesn't feel anything about Dusheni. But I told him to do what he's doing ... frankly. Later on he didn't speak to me. When Anuj used to speak to me frequently and tell faults of Dusheni I would convey that to Dusheni. It was after that, that Anuj blocked me from fb.

   No ... both are only friends of Anuj. The lover of that lady is Rumesh Atalugama. Rumesh is a malli aged 22 years who stepped into the field anew. This lady says that he is 24 years old. But there's information to say that she's someone over 40 years having a child also. She has carried on this affair after hiding these things from us and Rumesh also. However Rumesh has tried to put a stop to this affair. So this lady who has lost her head is trying to drag me too into this story.

   That story was initially made up by Anuj. Anuj himself has told here and there that the person whom he sent to me for help has struck up a connection with me. I came to know about those things also. Just as much as I have no alliance with Dinesh he is not that lady's lover either. Her lover is Rumesh.

   The genuine photo of that is with me. Rumesh, Dinesh, I and that referred to lady are in that photo. That photo was taken when attending a match played in Wennappuwa. I had gone earlier while Rumesh, Dinesh and that lady came later. It was I who invited the three of them. It was a photo taken at that time. It was after editing it that, that lady slings mud at me. Rumesh is not there in the photo that was so edited.

   Yes. At that time I was truly very friendly with her and I sent her extremely personal photos of mine ... that was because I believed she was a friend of mine. Now she's throwing mud at me from those very photos.

   Since he's not responding to my calls I told Dinesh himself to ask him to stop these things and if not that I'll have to expose the root-story of these photos. Though he gave a cool response to it, that lady had been notified and the photos have been removed. But that lady had inserted a post saying "On a special request the photos of having been beaten have been removed ... await from Gossip". Not only that, when this upset was taking place Anuj spoke to me and asked what is this that's happening. I told him to tell that lady not to make false allegations against me. But he evaded it saying that it's not relevant to him as such.

   I also didn't think so at the start. But I confirmed it from comments sent to that lady's posts. These things are good lessons for me ... when getting attached I go to help without limits ... become frank. I didn't even think of their level or status. If I did so, like that lady, Anuj wouldn't have preyed on my friendship.

   The sad part of it is that all the while knowing about it I found myself lodging with dogs.

   All of them tried to create problems at home too. But luckily they weren't able to do so. Even now I am in my house with Channa aiya and two children.

   He's a person who lives in a very respectable way. He doesn't go through gossip. He has other work more than that. Even upto now he has not questioned me about this. Because of a shooting-stint of a new teledrama Channa aiya is in Maskeliya these days ... even told me and children to come over for a holiday. We'll be going to Channa aiya some day next week.

   Have to go abroad because of children's education ... no. That also will be somewhere at the end of this year or towards the beginning of next year.
