She is a native of Nugawela in \u00a0Kandy \u00a0the third sibling of a family of three sisters much elder to her eldest by twelve years and the other by nine years , as such she was petted by all members in her family. Her full name is \u2018Maneesha Chanchala Kumari \u00a0Dunukara. Maneesha is proud of her surname as it is a name exclusively owned by her family. In the hill country .She was educated up to ordinary level in Swarnapali Balika Vidyalaya and for her higher education at the St Lawrence convent in Wellawatta where she had to dwell in a boarding house.During this era Maneesha had felt the \u00a0loneliness and deprived the love of the \u00a0parental duo. During her tenure at Swarnapali Balika she had been more interested in art, dancing and music had been mostly in the related rooms. She recollects she had fooled her teachers and \u00a0mother giving lame excuses for refusing to study. Maneesha had hence participated in all Island music, drama, dancing competitions. However, when young she had opted to be an English teacher rather than becoming a singer or actress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/17tQ-tevuGc?si=aYo_Jhqbs1F9g4py\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Maneesha \u00a0recollected in a television dialog that at home by wearing a saree had tried to imitate the role of a teacher to her siblings and parents. However when she was very younger after her toddler days the home folks had identified Maneesha to possess abundant talent in singing. When she was in year six in class one of her father\u2019s friend \u00a0Indika Wijesiri who had worked in the Kandurata FM radio service, had suggested him Maneesha be brought to the FM service to sing a song. But Maneesha had been stubborn to avoid this had given many excuses to her parents This was then Maneesha had been very shy and backward for participating \u00a0in such events. Despite her dissents her mother had forced her to accompany mother to sing at least one song in a children\u2019s program. She recollects the recording person had been a very kind person by name Sarath Illangatilleke whom she remembers still though not living had pursued Maneesha to sing the scheduled song. When she saw the \u2018beam\u2019 she was impressed had sung the song to impress all. After which Maneesha recollects she had forced herself to attend this children\u2019s program thereafter with other girls in similar ages from other schools in the vicinity .She had recollected this in a television dialog that she was later driven enthusiastically to the Kandurata FM studio by some unforeseen force. This Maneesha recollected that was her pioneer contribution to the field of art.In this regard Maneesha had added that she on the first of every year she calls Indika Wijesri to wish him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XBfxINnS_Q8?si=FdvLycqTZ8jNaRzJ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Though Maneesha\u2019s mother \u00a0has had hopes to make her an actress in her younger days she has had a bad mania to bite her nails when her mother had told if she continues this habit she will not be able to become an actress which was her mother\u2019s dream. However her singing career had got off the blocks when her mother\u2019s sister \u2018Punchi\u2019 had applied Maneesha for TV Derana \u2018Little star\u2019 season 2.competition at where she had triumphed to be adjudicated to fourth place which had made her passage to \u00a0the signing arena.She had shown her singing prowess in many television programs invited to participate After this triumph \u00a0through vice chairman of TV Derana Laksiri \u00a0Wickremage\u2019s invitation she was to portray a role as \u2018Manusha\u2019in the Teledrama \u2018Wathsanaye Sihinaya\u2019., Though she has had no dreams to become an actress this was the beginning of \u00a0her illustrious acting profession as an actress. Her initial experience for some time when facing the camera Maneesha had been awfully nervous for a few moments which for her is still the same. Maneesha recollects her first scene was to cry which favoured her moods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4OL4Wn8d5eY?si=iDVTZW_N0ZQYwwA6\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Just after her completion of Advanced Level \u00a0Maneesha gets an invitation to portray a role in the teledrama \u2018SIDHU\u2019 produced by the same crew of the teledrama \u201cWathsanaye Sihinaya.Initially she had refused thinking this was not her forte only was teaching in her focus.The producers had selected another actress for the character of \u2018THERUNI\u201d but had made another plea to which her mother had intervened and asked to consent to the invitation. Maneesha had said it is because of her mother that everything to date had transpired to her. Though Maneesha had been a presenter of television children\u2019s programs, her portrayal of the character as \u2018THERUNI\u201d had transformed her life. Thereafter she was elected to portray the role of \u201cLOKKI\u201d in the teledrama \u2018Sillara Samanallu\u201d the role was rather challenging to the role of \u2018Therui\u2019. As she had to behave as a unruly like character where she had to fight and scold friends and even her parents hence, she had to deviate from her sober mannerism hitherto seen. In her role as THERUNI she had to speak loudly unlike in her inimitable soft tone. She had conveyed also in a television discussion that she had learnt to speak loudly only after then as intimidated by the Director. She recollected when portraying a scene as Theruni \u00a0she had to loudly say \u2018AMMI\u201d \u00a0but until she was able to say it loudly the scene was not televised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M8CNj1IWA4s?si=23OVzRdKSUiGHv_S\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Maneesha had portrayed roles later in many teledramas since having learnt her basics. To name a few in the teledrama KIRULI her role was that of \u2018Dilini\u2019, thereafter as \u2018Maduri\u2019 in \u2018Amuthu Rasikaya\u201d where her parents were Roshan Pilapitiya and Hashini senior stalwarts which had helped her to build up her role as the episodes progressed. For this role Maneesha had been nominated for a JURY award in the Sumathi Tele Awards that year to for which Maneesha was thrilled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Maneesha believes all her decisions taken in life have proved correct. She loves family bonds to be attached to her parents, sisters and there in laws. She believes her marriage to actor Ashan Siriwardena was also made with a wise decision at the appropriate age with the motive to develop a family bond of her own. She had primarily liked Ashen as had looks of her father lean and tall which was her wish from her young days that her future husband should possess her father\u2019s features. Maneesha had resembled her mother stocky and short kike Maneesha.Ashen had first seen Maneesha while she was presenting on television having been impressed had imagined seriously to meet her and talk to her.But however Ashen had got to act alongside her when the attachment had developed. Ashen had known that the ideas of the duo had tallied forgetting the past. Maneesha had quipped the real love and attachment she had received from Ashen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V70R54Bu25A?si=6Zc2pS6eBD__wrLt\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Few other portrayals of Maneesha \u00a0in Teledramas were in KUMI\u201d the role of Thamathka,in \u2018Sihina Samagama as\u00a0 Mayomi,in SARA the role of Ami, in HEART CARD role of Thahannya, DEVINI INIME role of Apeksha \u00a0a character of a journalist in \u00a0GOOGLY the role of Pahanvi \u00a0etc. Each character \u00a0to Matheesha had been different to each other all challenging was quoted by Maneesha. She loves to portray diverse roles always endeavours to study each role for instance when she portrayed the role of journalist it was shot inside a newspaper press where she had inquired from the employees the process of printing\u00a0 by which she adds \u00a0novel knowledge to her repertoire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bridesrilanka.com\/weddings\/grace-harper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-152957 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bridesrilanka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/346318128_630652345199169_4081627906317569869_n-1.jpg\" alt=\"MANEESHA CHANCHALA\" width=\"493\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Image Source :\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/bridesrilanka.com\/weddings\/grace-harper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bridesrilanka.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Maneesha had commenced her presenting career from the Kadurata FM radio station in Kandy then she had received invitation \u00a0to present in TV Derana \u2018Punchi Sathsara\u2019 which was predominantly to \u00a0speak with parents of participants in Little Star.Then she was elected to present music programs in also TV Derana after which she was elected by Swarnavahini to present \u2018Hada Randi Gee\u201d from where she blossomed to be as a sought after \u00a0presenter.
