She\u00a0 has had then to take permission from the Principal of her \u2018alma mater\u2019 by furnishing the script and details of her role. This character had not been that cumbersome to her, as she had to portray an identical role to that of her life as it was that of a school going girl but having a brother although in real life she has had only a sister .The parents portrayals were displayed by veterans Santin Gunawardena and Veena Jayakody.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bqidF7XlPos\" 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;\">In 1990, when her uncle illustrious Bandula Vithanage uncle ,cast her as a main character in a play which won for her the Best Actress award at that year\u2019s state drama festival, which she had added was never anticipated. She had always tested herself, challenged herself, surpassed herself. She is one who\u00a0 do not choose each screenplay that comes her way. But Yashoda makes certain that the ones that come her way, she choose, push her\u00a0 beyond the\u00a0 limits of the script. It had\u00a0 not been a cake walk and effortless at the onset. Yashoda\u00a0 had confessed that she was not born with a silver spoon, was far from it to venture into\u00a0 performing arts sector. Her father, Ravilal Wimaladharma, was Professor of Hindi at Kelaniya University, who had excelled in poetry, music, and the media who was instrumental in launching a Hindi service in the SLBC, to cater to exclusively Indian listeners. More importantly, her maternal uncle \u2018mama\u201d had been the illustrious playwright, director cum actor, Bandula Vithanage. Yashoda had added she owed it to him for having encouraged her she recalled. Yashoda had not even sat for her\u00a0 \u2018O\u2019 Levels\u00a0 at her \u2018alma mater\u2019 St Pauls Milagiriya when\u00a0 Uncle had placed her\u00a0 in front of a camera, for the first time she reminisced .Yashoda pays tribute to her teachers and colleague students for been very friendly and receptive when in her Advanced level. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Yashoda having excelled in her much-loved subject, literature\u00a0 and Hindi language in her school St.Paul\u2019s Milagiriya, she pursued her university education at Kelaniya, where her father lectured. Her campus life wasn\u2019t at all rosy at all she\u00a0 had retorted repeatedly. The ragging of\u00a0 freshers had been intense and brutal, degrading nature had become the familiar pattern then. But that had not impeded her. Yashoda when entered Kelaniya University but owing the catastrophe that existed in the 1989 era the universities were closed for three years also due to the unrest of university students, during this period too she had been involved in acting in all three formats .Yashoda had lamented many times to the media and to television that a subject she hates to reminisce is her university tenure, as the most outrageous and appalling occurrence in her life had been during her early university aera .She quipped that from her ninth standard until then and after she had continued her acting in the same vein striding to stage, teledramas and films.She acknowledged that most of her portrayals had been cherished mostly by the educated quarters including the university students,\u00a0 who all have had a enormous respect to her.Yashoda had even requested her father permission to continue to have an external course as it was then a time consuming period also that she could perform her main hind language. But father had replied persons like Professor Ediriweera Sarathchandra ,Jackson Anthony and\u00a0 Dr Jayalath Manoratne too had participated in activities of art while studying in the university, for\u00a0 her to remain in the university emulating her elder sister and himself as it would be an ideal stranglehold . But the intensity of the rag was unbearable to her, which she described as \u201c Vishvavidyalaye navaka wadaye kalakanni sanscruthaya\u201d. It was a period then when even the university professors were held hostage by pointing kris knives etc by ruthless students. The professors were never allowed to offer any redress to innocent new entrants. Yashoda explained that the students who conduct the rag are those who had come from border villages and other rural villages were jealous of new entrants like Yashoda, it was like taking revenge for their sufferings during the civil war periods, living standards etc. Yashoda quipped that the mental and physical torments faced cannot be explained over any media. It was revealed by Yashoda was not subjected to common rags involving groups of new entrants, but she was dealt independently, individually. She was even prevented from attending to lectures which was never done usually. Yashoda unable to bear this further had asked why are you attacking me like this, as you are the people who appreciated me earlier in my portrayals, the answer was you are\u00a0 here to learn \u2018Hindi\u2019 which you could learn while at home etc, our question is you have deprived another student in entering the campus. Also she had been accused for not going to India despite having money and popularity. After verbal abuses they commenced physical harming too which Yashoda could not resist had even decided to commit suicide by jumping from a third floor of a building nearby that was been constructed in the vicinity to escape from them.As she attempted to jump a lecturer had not allowed her to jump. Unfortunately her father too had witnessed this horrible incident .Yashoda summed up saying because of all this the most oppressed person was her father,who was such a kind person known to all, who taught the students with highest thoughtfulness sacrifce and dedication. As he was very emotional person could not resist Yashoda\u2019s misery regretting also for not consenting to Yashoda\u2019s pleas to follow an external course, he had come to a nervous breakdown while in the campus premises, having had to retire prematurely, later had become paralysed , thereafter had lived in seclusion for four years and expired in year 2000 when he was seventy years old. It needs to be reminisced that the Wimaladharma family had dwelled at the Elvitigala flats in a top most tier, when bringing father down when he had to be taken to the doctor was a tedious progression, which Yashoda with the assistance of her mother and\u00a0 \u2018Punchi Amma\u201d who had dwelled with them had accomplished a role which even a son would never have conquered. Despite all such distractions she had completed her degree and then completed her Master\u2019s in Hindi at Lucknow university thus fulfilling father\u2019s dreams even exceeding his intents, even today Yashoda believes that her father would be looking at her successes from wherever he is also believes\u00a0 will continue to bless her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yWn_10Vxuw4\" 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;\">At a television dialog Yashoda reminisced the action she initiated about the prevention of the brutal type of ragging that is still experienced for the benefit of all new entrants to universities. Yashoda had added that some colleagues owing to ragging\u00a0 had\u00a0 died, got paralysed restricted to wheel chairs, some permanently insane in psychiatrist wards ,some have left the island in sheer frustration. But the majority that who were\u00a0 impacted are scared to express views to media. When Yashoda was affected it was her father a professor in the same faculty who became a victim , depriving students to learn from him in literature, Sinhala, English, Hindi, also taught the manner to live. Yashoda had from year 1993 very boldly have been speaking on several platforms about the cruel ragging\u00a0 via the several media, print , electronic .As a result in year 1998 an act in parliament was passed empowering the vice chancellors to take action against the raggers. But unfortunately to date the higher authorities of the universities have failed to curb this situation as\u00a0 the backing of a leftist political party is behind these ruthless elements. Only the vice chancellor of the Ruhunu university had been able to curb this wretched ragging of freshers. Yashoda is on the belief that stringent laws need to be enacted firmly by the state to punish the raggers in order to avert this vicious manner of ragging of freshers in all other universities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xuZVeYzRLSY\" 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;\">Immediately after Yashoda\u2019s \u2018A levels\u2019,after her maiden teledrama \u201cAtte Bindei\u201d also of Uncle Bandula Vithanage\u2019s direction had chosen for her again for portrayal as Emily in\u00a0\u2018<em>Hiru Dahasa\u2019<\/em>, an reworking of Thornton Wilder\u2019s\u00a0\u2018<em>Our Town\u2019<\/em>. Along with it Yashoda had come to been in theatre across television, the new medium she had found a little hard to swallow, harder to consume. Yashoda did reminisce there had been complications from day one as she had experienced in failing to\u00a0 launch her voice forcefully enough. The crew have had to spend six months practising during which period she had to tone up her voice. As a consequence fortunately, her efforts paid had\u00a0 off\u00a0 not only she was received to a standing applause. Subsequently, when she participated in the state drama festival, several veteran playwrights and thespians had congregated around her much to her immense delight. The veterans had quipped she deserved the Best Actress award, of course, though she had never anticipated it. During this era in 1991-1992\u00a0 Yashoda had got an opening to portray a role in a Malayali film in Kerala when an Indian film director had seen her photos when the negatives of the film she acted as Neela in \u2018Gurugedera\u201d were sent to a lab in Kerala for processing .She had been selected as she was very proficient in Hindi vernacular . After the first film\u2019 \u2018Acharayam\u2019 the directors had picked her for a series of other films ,\u2019Mother Theresa\u2019 other Italian, France films mainly because of her competency in the\u00a0 Hindi vernacular, also for her Indian appears. She recollects getting the opportunity to portray opposite many famous actors, actresses like Geraldine Chaplin daughter of famous Charlie Chaplin. Although she could have prolonged with those directors she had to return as so many directors in native Sri Lanka needed her .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In the earlier decades , a novice had appeared\u00a0 on stage only very seldom. So when audiences saw Yashoda, they were simply\u00a0 mesmerized as she was young ,fair and cute. Once she immersed in knowledge, the theatre had become to her a very fascinating place to her.Yashoda had learnt the basics in acting as described by famous Russian dramatist Stanislavski, one has to learn the techniques of acting\u00a0 and practice .It is essentially consciously been unconscious to be conscious of self be unconscious about self when portraying some other\u2019s character. Yashoda\u2019s success to stardom had been\u00a0 mainly because she\u00a0 was clinging on to the moment, sustaining the audience\u2019s curiosity\u00a0 constantly. Up there on stage, Yashoda have had no retakes. She\u00a0 needed to give her best performance through. Yashoda believes that for an actress,\u00a0 living in one\u2019s role is the most challenging , yet most crucial part of the job ,is to maintain this\u00a0 when she portrayed\u00a0 Emily\u2019s role in\u00a0\u2018<em>Hiru Dahasa\u2019<\/em>,\u00a0 she had sensed , she needed to learn about the topic at a time she wanted to connect campus life with acting which was turned out to be a vocation to her ,as the problem\u00a0 existed\u00a0 with no acting school,\u00a0 which is even now still not established non existent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lcXt2HyTt38\" 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;\">By the time Yashoda came of age onstage, there remained only one professional well versed in the subject who could teach her. That person\u00a0 was Jayantha Chandrasiri her \u2018Guru\u201d having studied about acting extensively\u00a0 from engaging in many workshops in Germany, Sweden Norway and more importantly in many states in USA securing scholarships deservedly . It was\u00a0 Yashoda\u2019s father\u2019s insistence having known his potential, her training had prolonged for years, though it had been a challenge. Yashoda as a voracious reader had read many books on the subject matter, self-educating on latest techniques, on guidelines, trickeries and crosscuts\u00a0 .Being an advocate of the \u2018Method\u2019, Jayantha Chandrasiri had naturally taught it to her very well. The point with the \u2018Method\u2019 is to flawlessly arrive to a character\u2019s life. This had appealed well to Yashoda, since back then she wanted to know how one could ignore oneself, to generate the impression that one is being a different person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sR4ZhQgskog\" 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;\">Astonishingly for someone who went through all this because of the theatre, Yashoda had not been in many plays. Four productions only over 30 years hardly amount to much, after all. Once she was done with\u00a0\u2018<em>Hiru Dahasa\u2019<\/em>, she took part in\u00a0\u2018<em>Venisiye Velenda\u2019<\/em>,\u00a0\u2018<em>Trojan Kanthawo\u2019<\/em>, and\u00a0\u2018<em>Makarakshaya\u2019<\/em>. The latter two, direction of\u00a0 Dharmasiri Bandaranayake, which on record were two of the finest contemporary political dramas this country had ever been staged.In\u00a0<em>Trojan Kanthawo<\/em>, as Andromache, Yashoda portrayed opposing to Anoja Weerasinghe. Part of the pleasure of watching Bandaranayake\u2019s story evolved was seeing these two collide with each other. The level of commitment and loyalty required, to personify not just only the anguish of the women but also, more importantly, their submission in the face of the conquerors, was no doubt immense. Both Yashoda and Anoja have thus been nothing short of absolute brilliance in their respective performances, as Hecuba and Andromache, over the last two decades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Yashoda\u00a0 has been in much more phenomenal in films, though even there she\u2019s been sparse in her options. It has been reported, her first role had been in an Indian film, 1992\u2019s\u00a0\u2018<em>Acharyan\u2019,\u00a0<\/em>next was Vijaya DharmaSri\u2019s\u00a0\u2018<em>Guru Gedara\u2019<\/em>, in\u00a0 year 1993 when the director had come in search of her to take permission, was happy that she was the daughter of his Professor in the university. She had quipped she was fortunate to work with capable directors always.Though the character was a small one the viewers had adored it .She reminisced that she won a Sarasaviya award for it\u2019s portrayal. Her first major portrayal had come two years later, in Vasantha Obeyesekere\u2019s\u00a0\u2018<em>Maruthaya<\/em>\u2019, in retrospection one of his lesser works, but important\u00a0 because, in it Yashoda acted in a way fundamentally distinct to how she would accomplish in later assemblies. Yashoda in a firm stand undertakes to portray\u00a0 a new role\u00a0 she was performing was over which she had maintained always. He added having been fortunate to work under acclaimed directors beginning with her Bandula Mama,Wijaya Dharma Sri,Dharmasena Pathiraja,Sudath Senaratne,Parakrama Niriella,Nalan Mendis then in Sir James Pieris in his teledrama \u2018Giraya\u2019 where the role was only miniature. For over thirty five years with the innate talent possessed and the competency of the directors she had been able to\u00a0 achieve her triumphs overwhelmingly, she claims. She emphasised as taught by her uncle Bandula Vithanage initially how to \u2018live\u2019 performing on stage , where there are no takes, no close ups, with only the light and your portrayal with dialogues to be heard to the entire audience. All these she had learnt from the \u201cHiru Dahasa\u2019 stage play she had affirmed which has to be learned scientifically. Yashoda had got an opportunity to portray a role in Sumthra Pieris film \u2018Duwata Mawaka Misa\u201d.Yashoda had quipped that the Lester Sumithra duo is the most gorgeous two to work with just similar to one\u2019s parents. Yashoda reminisced \u2018a frame\u2019 in the film where she had to push a tall\u00a0 oil lamp filled with kerosine oil on to a glass window for it to break. Sumithra Peiris had been worried whether Yashoda would be injured with the broken glass pieces, however Sir Lestor had intervened had guaranteed that such a thing would not happen.Yashoda emphasised his immense knowledge in filming procedures even at his old age. Among her more recent works,\u00a0\u2018<em>Samanala Sandhwaniya\u2019<\/em>\u00a0takes pride of place the role of \u2018Punya\u2019 had been the most challenging.\u00a0 Yashoda had reminisced that Jayantha Chandrasiri\u00a0 having\u00a0 had\u00a0posed a unique challenge in that project. When he had given her the script, told her to wrap up all her other work and come back with a rejuvenated thinking. While Yashoda had brought her prejudiced conceptions about acting to her other roles, Jayantha had been adamant that she approached it as a novice to it. The effect he had wanted was essentially this when\u00a0 she comes onscreen, what could be seen was that of her\u00a0 character, \u2018Punya\u2019. Quite a different challenge, also unique, faced by Yashoda\u00a0 in the role of\u00a0\u2018<em>Vaishnavee\u2019<\/em>, ( a\u00a0 Goddess) under Sumithra Peiris\u2019 direction,\u00a0 where for the entirety of the script Yashoda has had to act emotionless while, at the end, she unearthed its sensitive essence having to portray three diverse phases of the Goddess character.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LYp-kTXXOXE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_105842\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-105842\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-105842 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Yashoda-Wimaladharma-images-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Yashoda Wimaladharma\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-105842\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Image Source : srilankagirls<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In \u2018<em>Maruthaya\u2019<\/em>, Yashoda was all emotions, scarcely covering her wrath and hardly disguising her hatred for all those intimidating towards her and her family. The opposite cast to her the actress as representative of her period as she would be, Sangeetha Weeraratne, Yashoda fumes, erupts, and glares constantly. She was abnormal, almost unlike herself. When in the second half of the film she , her sister (Sangeetha) enter the world of nightclubs, she goes beyond the limits of her usual self without shattering her integrity. In contrast to the more vociferous sister, she seems, almost gentle, but more often than not she\u00a0 had broken down. No better film could demonstrate the contrast between this bypass in her vocation than the next role she got through Vasantha Obeyesekere, as a girl, supposedly born to rich parents, in search of her pedigrees in\u00a0\u2018<em>Theertha Yathra\u2019<\/em>. where no better actress contrasts with her better than Sangeetha. This twin struggle \u2013 between her upsurges in\u00a0\u2018<em>Maruthaya\u2019<\/em>\u00a0and her calm temperament post-\u2018<em>Maruthaya\u2019<\/em>\u00a0on the one hand and between her and Sangeetha\u2019s approaches on the other ,comes up in Jayantha Chandrasiri\u2019s\u00a0\u2018<em>Guerilla Marketing<\/em>.\u2019 Here, at least until that point in her career,\u00a0 Yashoda was seen at her best, the former lover of the character, who was married to the partner at his advertising agency at which both women worked. Sangeetha\u2019s outbursts at her husband\u2019s plunges into psychosis, at once sincere and intolerable, are a world away from Yashoda\u2019s more contemplative attitude.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Yashoda known as the \u2018punchi thiraye ahinsakaviya\u201d had been recommended by Chitra Warakapola to director Nalan Mendis to portray the role of Priyanwada in teledrama \u2018Doo daruwo \u2018in year 1990 a very popular teledrama remembered etched in the minds of viewers\u00a0 even today. Since then Yashoda had been\u00a0 invited to portray vivid roles in director Nalan Mendis\u2019s teledramas. In year 1993 in \u201cApe Eththo\u201d as \u2018Udara\u2019, where she had portrayed the role of daughter of late Granville Rodrigo.The the role of Sakuntala in the teledrama \u201cSituwarayo\u201d where she had to portray the role of wife of Duncan Hamu characterised by late HA Perera, a much elder husband.In the same year 1996 Yasodha had portrayed the role of Suba in \u2018Nedeyo\u201d.In year 1997 the role was Nirmala Channa Perera\u2019s wife in \u201cSenehewanthayo\u201d for which she won an award at Sumathi awards for the most popular actress.In year 1998 Yashoda had portrayed dual roles as Hiruni and Aruni ,two sisters of one father and two mothers in the teledrama \u201cHiru Kumari\u201d.In years 1999 the role of Sujatha, a psychiatric patient\u00a0 was portrayed by Yashoda in the teledrama \u2018Bonikko\u2019.In these series of teledramas under the direction of Nalan Mendis Yashoda had to portray vivid roles different to one another which she had portrayed impressively. For young Yashoda she had got the unique opportunity to act alongside with veteran actors and actresses v.i.z.,HA Perera,Grandville Rodrigo,Channa Perera, Damitha Abeyratne, Kamal Addararachchi. Manel Jaysena,Shriyantha Mendis,Tony Ranasinghe,Henty Jayasena, Manel Jayasena,Manel Weeramuni and others the opportunity not had by any other actress then.At a television discussion Yashoda had stressed that the standards of teledramas had been vandalised to unprecedented low altitudes since the advent of the decade 2000 with many low quality teledramas were made as relatively more and more television channels had commenced operations. During this tenure Indian .Korean teledramas were telecast to capture our viewers with Sinhalese vernacular dubbings.Yashoda had quipped that the themes of these were not conducive to our audiences. Also, many producers had haphazardly selected raw actors and actresses\u2019 sans basic knowledge of acting to portray roles.The productions were huge in quantity and very low in quality. In this scenario Yashoda due to this reason also as she do invariable read scripts very prudently before agreeing to portray any role ,had been reluctant to accept roles as such for about two decades, she had portrayed roles only in a fewer number of teledramas not more than five.This was unbelievable as Yashoda between the years 1998 to 2003 had carried the \u2018most popular actress\u2019 award at Sumathi awards awards consecutively a record in Sri Lanka television. One of them more recently\u00a0 has to be reminisced her role in \u201cThanamalwila Kollek\u201d the role of \u201cYashodara\u201d directed by Roshan Ravindra. Upon reading the script she had begun to love the character of \u2018Yashodara\u2019. Roshan has had doubts whether she would accept specifically as it was his first direction. Yashoda had asked who was scheduled to portray the role of Deeptha opposite to her ,was he competent to which Roshan had quipped do not worry as in Dasun,\u00a0 Roshan has had ample confidence in the novice. In it other than Hemasiri Liyanage and Yashoda all were from the new generation. After her role she believes she got a new set of viewers\u00a0 mostly in the teen ages who had not seen her in earlier years The roles of Yashodara and Deeptha gives a message to the people to prove the association\u00a0 could not be \u2018love\u2019 alone, as there could be many other attachments between two. After her role she had received accolades from Buddhist Monks too who had been instigated to watch by some staunch Buddhist dayaka\u2019s in the temples.The accolades she received from celebrated Buddhist Monks ,to\u00a0 Yashoda had been more treasured than receiving an award she had affirmed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">One critic had commented that the two scenes how\u00a0 Yashodara\u00a0 embraced Deeptha when she left to India and how Deeptha embraced Yashodara when she closed her eyes permanently had etched in his mind which proves the competence of Dasun. She recollected one student in an international school had made a post to her FB inbox \u201cAunty I watched \u201cThanamalwila Kollek\u201d appreciated your portrayal , who are you ,where were you\u201d, to which She had replied to the student girl \u2018google Yashoda Wimaladharma\u2019.Later the young girl\u2019s mother too had called to apologise to her, to which Yashoda had said you need not make\u00a0 apologies as how one could in the present generation know all that. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-2n3eOOuWn0\" 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;\">Only few know that Yashoda was one time a leading dress model\u00a0 despite her acting heroism of course\u00a0 at the beginning of her career along with Kalum Wijesuriya who had looked after her ,had participated in many stage appearences with him having walked on many stages with him, This subject Yashoda however had quipped as something the majority disliked. Yashoda from her schooldays had been keen on scripting \u2018Kavi\u2019 and songs in Sinhalese and Hindi vernaculars too.
