This is what she said about it: "It was at the medical college that we came to know each other. Actually we both are very good friends. It was in 2012 that we both met and it was later that he expressed his love. When associating as a friend I realised that he was quite a good friend. He has a lot of good qualities. I was hoping for someone who had good qualities like Udara and so I got him. As Udara is a friend of mine, our mother also knew him. So there was no opposition to our affair.
Udara is someone who really understood me. He always encourages me to do something new. As such, I will get a good support from him for me to carry on with the family life, professional life as well as the field of music. I had no time to provide good creations for my fans where singing was concerned. I am sad about it. But when I came to Sri Lanka I engaged in singing songs. Even when I was at the university I was involved in music activities. We did a duet to be launched at the wedding. This is the first song that he sang: 'Sasara perada bendunu vilase' which will be launched on the day of the wedding. We are hoping to get together and engage in songs. I have ideas of doing a solo song before going to Sri Lanka. My professional side is medicine and my hobby is music. I have an idea of combining music to medicine and do something like music therapy.
After marriage we will be going abroad again. While engaging in professional activities I wish to devote attention to music activities also. I have hopes of doing studies on music therapy also. Because of academic work we miss out on hobbies. So in future we hope to allocate some time for the Arts too. By about July we would be going to Sri Lanka again. Since mother and father are in Canada we will be going to settle down in Canada.
