Having known the squirrel story a guy working in a tavern in front of their quarters had given Nadeeka a big squirrel who had bitten her hand and vanished. This was the famous squirrel story of hers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">On her mother\u2019s insistence Nadeeka while in her advanced level class had portrayed a role in the film \u201cKanchana\u201d along with many heavyweights. Nadeeka had lamented that taking up acting as a vocation in her mind. Though she has had a firm intention to enter University not with the intention to find a job.She was more concerned in getting married and to run a family life. But to enter the university had been the wish of her father. She had not been in any stance at all to become an actress. At which time she had seen only a handful of films only \u2018Okkomaha Hari\u2019\u00a0 and shooting of \u2018Sikuruliya\u201d where her mother Thalatha Gunasekera had acted in. Nadeeka had surprisingly not even viewed any Sinhala films then.

The director of \u2018Kanchana\u201d film M.A Sangadasa in year 1977 had met at Amarasiri Kalansuriya\u2019s shop at Katugodella Vediya had met Thalatha Gunasekera and Nadeeka. There the director had asked for two sisters Nadeeka and her younger sister for the portrayal of a small role ,the role of Kanchana had been portrayed by Nadeeka to fill\u00a0 a wish of her mother to follow her footsteps. The locations were familiar places in Bandarawela and surrounding also having the typical \u201cSabakolaya\u201d, frieght.\u00a0 The two had been shown to the director at Kalansuriya\u2019s tailor shop. Nadeeka had portrayed a very small role,the cameraman too had been a veteran Donald Karunaratne who had found difficult to capture her as she had been asked to say a couple of words too.For the premiere of the\u00a0 \u2018Kanchana\u2019 film Nadeeka too had attended. With time Nadeeka had got used but earlier she had not been able to dub her voice as she was shy and having a soft voice. She had told to get someone else for dubbing which was not possible. It was the assistance she had got from heavyweights Wally Nanayakkara, Vijaya Kumaratunga ,Amarasiri Kalansuriya and Sriyani Amarasena had helped her to pursue a career in films. All had told that\u00a0 she needs to be guided as the daughter of Thalatha Gunasekera.

She had seen all stalwarts from Gamini Fonseka downwards\u00a0 at which Nadeeka had said to her it was actress Anula Karunatilleke the best to her caught her eye..At her home all had been Vijaya Kumaratunga fans but to Nadeeka it had been Robin Fernando\u00a0 her favourite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uf2E9RG4U5M\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">During her initial days there had been popular actresses Sabitha Perera, Vasanthi Chathurani in the forefront as seniors\u00a0 while a few were making their debuts like her.It was mother who had guided along her journey while Father had liked her involvement had been collecting paper articles for posterity. One paper article she reminisced of Sunil Horacious under the heading \u2018New Faces\u201d. She also commented how she had first obtained permission from father who had told if you do your role , with dedication , belief in self and faith his permission and blessings were granted . After entering the Kelaniya University she had travelled from Dalugama where Mother was domiciled. This location was convenient to attend for shooting too. She had followed a general degree studying economics, social science, and mass communication. During the same year she had received the Lux award for the best up and coming female actress and also\u00a0 her convocation for the general degree which Nadeeka reminisced also at a television confrontation. In the annals of our Sinhala cinema only veteran actress Iranganie Serasinghe who had come to the cinema after her degree was completed hence are the only duo with university degrees. During this time she recollected that within one week she had signed for three films one been \u2018Sagarayak meda\u2019 of Gamini Fonseka to be a sought-after actress in the silver screen During this era she had acted in seven films. She recollected that initially when she entered the Kelaniya university owing to internal conflicts the campus had been closed for a year during which time her first film was released. Though she confessed to mother that she would quit the silver screen after entering the university many new\u00a0 directors like Sunil Ariyaratne,Parakrama Silva etc wanted to direct films with novice actresses. Nadeeka had affirmed that when she portrayed roles in her first ten films she had beefortunate to act along with all popular actors and actresses.Though there was no serious ragging there had been minor incidents like taking her to the canteen and asking her to pay the bills. She added\u00a0 that many male students had rendered her more assistance by giving her the tutorials of missed\u00a0 lectures when she was at film locations. It was revealed in year 1981 when she portrayed a main role of \u201cHinni HamI\u201d in the film Baddegama Dr Lestor Pieirs had come to her in the rest hose room had said if one can understand what needs to be done it is real acting as acting cannot be taught it should come from within. After a toil in the burning sun, in a jungle in the Hambantota area had studied while in her room sometimes with the \u2018Deer\u2019 in the Hambantota rest house. Some other days with her skin peeling she had studied in the night to answer the question papers next day, for her GAQ a herculean task with an additional subject of French too. This experience she had quipped no other actress had ever experienced. The cameraman was Willie Blake whom she had not known from Adam had come to her and said you will get an award for her portrayal in the film. Nadeeka also commented how when she was young travelling to his father\u2019s ancestral home beyond Matale when she had to pass the Peradeniya campus where he too is a graduate, had added that is the place one had to go after finishing school studies which Nadeeka has had etched in her mind Nadeeka had got married in the early decade of 2000 to Suren Hettiarachchi a resident of Chilaw who is involved in a family spare parts business had come to know via another family friend Lakshaman Hulugalla.The duo had been telephoning for around eight months but had not met then .According to Nadeeka one day the telephone conversation had lasted for a marathon eight hours.The duo had met only on a Valentine\u2019s day.Both set of parents had not given blessing but had got married three years later..Nadeeka had even received a telephone call from Suren;s father pleading to stop the affair had even offered money. But they had carried on and got married. Once they had a child they had patched up with the parents .Nadeeka has had a knack for designing and sewing perhaps an inborn talent which later while she was living in the Thalakotuwa gardens area had been a popular designer for many actresses too., but sans using blocks only taking measurements. Even to date she designs her own clothes as well as of her daughter.She possesses a sewing room equipped with sewing, embroidery machines earning also via her expertise.
