\u00a0<\/span>Although Roshan\u00a0possessed innate aptitude\u00a0for acting with his mother\u2019s influence he had never thought then of creating a career for himself as an actor as music was his obsession then His passion for music continued after leaving school having joined the Red Heart band as a vocalist cum\u00a0as a guitarist and key board player. He had recorded a number of his own songs. He had confessed that he has a tremendous flavour\u00a0for music appreciating a variety of styles. However he\u00a0will not get confined to one type of music which would make him\u00a0monotonous. Roshan\u00a0has a unique inclination\u00a0of travelling overseas to view concerts. He had confessed that\u00a0from his schooldays he always was bent to take his own decisions and was not influenced by his parents.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He had also acted in many Tele dramas and\u00a0a number of stage plays. Amongst\u00a0them the most popular were Ek\u00a0<\/span>Murgabbawiyak<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Sihina<\/span>\u00a0Aran Enna.\u00a0More recently\u00a0Roshan\u00a0has portrayed the role of \u201c<\/span>Keppettipola<\/span>\u201d\u00a0in the film \u201c<\/span>Giriwesipura<\/span>\u201d and a\u00a0character in the popular Tele drama \u201cSal\u00a0<\/span>Sapuna<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Apart from been the Peoples\u2019 Actor, the awards won by Roshan\u00a0were\u00a0the\u00a0 Upcoming Actor in Sumathi\u00a0Awards \u2013 2000 Dharmaraja\u00a0Abhinandana\u00a0Award \u2013 2001 Best Upcoming Actor in\u00a0<\/span>Sarasaviya<\/span>\u00a0Awards \u2013 2002 Best Upcoming Actor in Presidential Awards \u2013 2002 Most Popular Actor in Sumathi\u00a0Awards \u2013 2003 Most Popular Actor in Sumathi\u00a0Awards \u2013 2004 Best Actor in Sumathi\u00a0Awards \u2013\u00a02005<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Roshan\u00a0has been in film, stage\u00a0and Tele drama fields for almost three decades and has faced a few hurting obstacles\u00a0in life for which music has come to his rescue when solace\u00a0was needed. He had confessed that he has no antagonism and hatred towards anyone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He has lamented on several occasions over the years that Sri Lanka is the only country in the world where there is no national policy to look after actors, technicians, photographers,\u00a0helpers like tea makers in old age. After so many proposals made to the related authorities\u00a0by many quarters\u00a0for this cause to bring in an Act the matter had been discussed in Parliament only a few months ago where Roshan\u00a0too\u00a0had been in the gallery listening. There had been a very few parliamentarians\u00a0present\u00a0at that moment when this issue was taken up but had ended abruptly without any action been taken. However\u00a0it is the fervent hope of Roshan\u00a0that he would be fighting on this topic even until his death\u00a0until redress is acknowledged.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Roshan\u00a0at a television programme recently added\u00a0that ours is the only country in the world where the records are not maintained by a state authority for musicians, recording engineers\u00a0and singers about recordings that they were involved in, which\u00a0indeed is a very\u00a0deplorable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Roshan\u00a0also reiterated that for all films, musical shows, stage plays etc 10%is charged by the government as entertainment taxes out of which not even .001% benefits the artistes which is appalling\u00a0and horrendous situation that needs to be critically addressed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Roshan\u00a0is well accepted in all quarters in his field as he possesses an excellent etiquette, high morals\u00a0\u00a0 generous disposition towards all colleagues. It would be the fervent hope of all his colleagues and fans to wish him for all his future endeavours.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
