in sports having excelled at Tennis, Hockey and Netball. After schooling she had successfully studied a degree in Primary Education, Montessori in particular. She had been once crowned with the title as’ Miss Sri Lanka’.
She had stated that Mahinda Rajapakse was a lawyer at that time and she has had liking to his proposal. She had also mentioned that her horoscope had been a rare horoscope to which it had been difficult to find an easy match. However Mahinda Rajapakse’s horoscope had matched with hers very well.
She had told in detail the hard times she went through when Mahinda Rajapakse was in jail and when she taught at Carlton Nursery School while sending her children to school.
She had shown how she maintains a healthy and cordial relationship at home with her children being quite lenient without punishing them too much and she had pointed out that her success in family life is due to the fact that she never entered politics.
Answers she had given to the questions asked about her children are appended below:
Did the eldest son have a dream from childhood to enter politics?
From his childhood he is very argumentative when he talks, sometimes I too got annoyed. My mother used to say at such times that this child shows signs of been becoming a future lawyer. Finally my mother’s predictions came true. The eldest son used to cross-question on anything. I of course, didn’t see any signs of him entering in to politics.
Your second son joined the Navy at a very crucial time of war. How did you allow and face that decision?
I faced that moment very happily. I didn’t have any fears since my father too was once a Navy Commander. However I allow and value the decisions of my children, if not we lose our understanding and hence the happiness within the family. 
What is your youngest son doing?
He is in England studying Medicine. His aim is to be a doctor. Apart from that he likes to be an astronomer. He is studying for that as well studying both aircraft engineering and training in becoming a pilot.
They must be having love affairs since they are in good age?
We can’t resist those. Nowadays things are different, unlike in our childhood. They must know how to choose a good partner. After that we can give our blessings. We don’t go to force and prevent and pressurise them unnecessarily.

A wife had gone to the Police station to show and complaint of the video clips in her husband’s phone
Last week a couple had been fighting at the Police station and when the police officers had questioned them as to what they are doing, the wife had told:
“Sir, this is my husband…he…” She had been reluctant to continue the story.
“What has happened? The police officer had inquired again.
“Sir, he is in an illicit relationship with another woman. Our lives had become a mess without a solution for this problem.”
“Is this true?”The Police officer had asked the husband.
“Sir, all this is her imaginations. I don’t have anyone else other than my wife but she doesn’t respect me, that’s how she brought me to the Police station.”
Here the wife got very angry and she replied:
“Sir, how can he expect respect when he does such shameful things? Sir, check his mobile phone and then you will see a clip of him and his mistress. He showed it to me without any shame. After seeing that only I wanted to bring him to the Police.”
The Police officers checked his mobile phone and smiles rose in their faces.
There were video clips of that husband and of another woman interacting sexually.
However, the man was not ashamed at all and he was not agitated by this.
When the Police asked: “What do you have to tell about these?
He responded that: “One day she told me that she would like to watch such clips. That is why I filmed them. That was not because I wanted but to accede to her request.
Police warned him not to insult his wife by doing such degrading things. Wife affirmed that she would seek the support of the law. Police officers who decided to forward this case to the mediation board advised them to seek a solution and sent them off.
