Popular actress Nadeesha Hemamali who has made a name for herself as a talented artiste and tele drama producer, will vie for a slot in the Southern Provincial Council at the forthcoming polls on the UNP ticket.

She handed over her application to UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake this afternoon and it was accepted by the party.

Having made her debut in Katu Kurullo more than a decade ago, Nadeesha who has also bagged the most popular tele actress Sumathi award, shot to fame with several popular tele hits and films like Tharuka Mal and Julia. She also produced the much acclaimed tele serial ‘Ethkanda Lihini’.

She recently took her first step in Tollywood (Telugu Cinema) playing a pivotal role in the movie Mr. Rascal.

    To compete with Anarkalee Akarsha...

    She sounded more mature and better than Paba who displayed her total ignorance of politics in her first interview. It is only hoped that Nadeesha will not follow the footsteps of Paba and betray the party which helped to get the votes.

    Let the artists become politicians and let the Politicians become artistes! A taste of Paradise turning into parasites.

    Has UNP no policies. Another Prabha, who will cross over for the highest Bidder.

    Ken Friday, 20 December 2013 06:40 AM

    George Murphy, Shirley Temple Black, John Davis Lodge, Jesse Ventura, Fred Gandy, Sonny Bono, Fred Thompson, Al Franken, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronald Reagan. This is just a few US actors and I'm sure you recognize the last name.

    FACT Friday, 20 December 2013 06:39 AM

    The North getting all the intellectuals elected to rule and the South??? never mind...

    Fayad Friday, 20 December 2013 06:20 AM

    With your name & fame win the election and do a good job specially for the poor

    LankanFellow Friday, 20 December 2013 06:13 AM

    Once bitten twice shy... But UNP was bitten many time still they don't learn... No wonder the party is in utter sambles

    Rata Haraka Friday, 20 December 2013 05:38 AM

    Sri Lankan politics is anyway a major drama, so another actress joining the scene is no big deal. Now we have Hollywood, Bollywood, Kollywood and Tollywood, soon Sri Lanka will be Sorrywood.

    Devanand Friday, 20 December 2013 05:23 AM

    I thought UNP would have lernt a lesson from Paba & Manusha. Shame less UNP wants again. But its nice we can see how many baffolos are there in Southern Province.

    keerthi Friday, 20 December 2013 05:08 AM

    Suneth you are absolutely right!!!

    Roshan Friday, 20 December 2013 05:06 AM

    Very good, all the MPs will be present in the Parliament, they will never take leave.

    serendib Friday, 20 December 2013 04:41 AM

    with a huge buck as well

    Samitha Silva Friday, 20 December 2013 04:33 AM

    What she knows about politics ? Creating another PABA .

    Bhagya Friday, 20 December 2013 04:25 AM

    I don't know why educated people don't enter to politics. For instance, in Australia, person must have a degree to select as a candidate from a main political party. But in SL shit......

    Deen Friday, 20 December 2013 04:09 AM

    We thought only Tamil Nadu is a Paradise for jokers.

    MirakRajBanda Thursday, 19 December 2013 11:14 AM

    So we can hear more ''Gibberish'' from this camp too...

    nihal Friday, 20 December 2013 03:34 AM

    dear suneth, i completely agree with you. Unfortunately we have a population with very low political wisdom. Just think about the people in the north. How they have selected the highly educated intellectuals to represent them. This is a very good lesson for the southern people..

    Ravi Friday, 20 December 2013 03:24 AM

    UNP is again doing a another mistake, because of her character and the beauty our people will vote. Purely our people select the candidate's on beauty not for her brains. Finally she will win and join the kings party and get all the benefits.

    Be Fair Friday, 20 December 2013 02:56 AM

    Ya, fresh looking faces is all we need, and this is fresh as what fresh can be......

    Ashok Friday, 20 December 2013 02:55 AM

    WOW wait and see whats happening bull shit talks cross overs all possible ........

    Punny Pellow Friday, 20 December 2013 02:50 AM

    Sinhalaya modaya........has always been an accurate prediction!!

    Maha_sudu_sinhalaya Friday, 20 December 2013 02:46 AM

    Haiyoooooo UNP ekath thawa ewarai

    Saman Friday, 20 December 2013 01:09 AM

    Better if she comes with a decent dress and draw the attention of all. I think she could win the election with a good majority.

    Jagath Leanage Thursday, 19 December 2013 03:31 PM

    You contest, win, thereafter join another party to strengthen arms of that perason

    prasanna Thursday, 19 December 2013 11:32 AM

    God Bless Sri Lanka, what a country! Not that far away from the the future, the entire parliament will be a Tele Drama. There is only one in US Arnold Schwarzenegger, in Sri Lanka you can find hundreds! I DO NOT KNOW how people vote in Sri Lanka, probably people are in the opinion of popularity contest instead of elections!

    Surendran Thursday, 19 December 2013 11:25 AM

    SL needs some fresh looking faces in politics.

    suneth Thursday, 19 December 2013 11:23 AM

    More and more popular figures not intellects coming into politics and get elected proves how stupid our voters are.......

    ANTON Thursday, 19 December 2013 11:22 AM

    UNITED NADEESHA PARTY

    Pradeep Thursday, 19 December 2013 11:19 AM

    '... and expect to cross over after the election.

    Goofy Thursday, 19 December 2013 11:14 AM
