Old love had hurt when Athula -Samitha receives popular awards Samitha weeps
"Personal problems between both of us are different" Athula says
The Most Popular music video of the year was awarded for the song "Iwasannada Manda" which won the Gold Award at the Derana 2013 Music Video Award ceremony held yesterday.
Athula -- Samitha who had been together for sometime broke off, later entering into another marriage. The manner in which they came to receive the award given for that song sung by the two of them was a sensitive moment.
Amaya was beside Athula in the auditorium and Samitha was seated next to Amaya. After Samitha was seen the daughter of Athula and Samitha.
After collecting the Award, addressing the audience, Athula also spoke of the two of them:
"Personal problems between the two of us is different ..... this is our profession," he said. Samitha spoke later with tears in her eyes and in a very touching mood. In the process, she had been looking down with embarassment, which then was a special feature. What she said was:
"Actually we didn't receive an award when we were together ..... this is our first award after we broke up. I am so happy that fans of both of us still love us upto this day". During her address it was heard that she went into sobs.
Athula said that, in the future too they would be singing together.
Video-recording of the occasion is seen below.
