Rohitha - Vatiyana love story unveiled!
The dance in the music video which was broadcast recently by former President's son Roshitha Rajapaksa where he was dancing with his lover Vatiyana Lee attracted a dialogue among most people. Rohitha and Vatiyana who who gave an interview to a Sunday newspaper happened to
reveal information which has hitherto been not exposed. This is what Rohitha has commented on her: "She's Vatiyana .... I know her for 8 years. Actually she's with us in both sorrow and happiness. She became a big strength to me. Our family has a great confidence on her. When I first spoke to her she didn't know who I was. At that time she was quite small. In the same way whether we were in power or not was never a concern for her.
Our love affair is about 6 years now. I really saw her for the first time when I was playing around in the gym. A commercial went over the air on television.That was the very first occasion that I saw her. After that, after searching and searching for her for 2 years I managed to find her. Then after that we kept company as very good friends for about 2 years. Then when I told her that I loved her .... she didn't show any positive response for it. Though she spoke .... she kept on showing her pride. I got round her only after a fantastic battle".
This is what Vatiyana said about Rohitha: "Actually it was a friend of both of us who introduced the two of us to each other. Even though we were introduced like that, I didn't speak to him much those days. Later when 2 years passed by we became very good friends. When discussing day-to-day happenings and problems he became like a brother, close to me. But I never thought that our connection would one day turn into a romance. On some occasions there were times that he introduced me to the crowd saying that I am his small younger sister. Initially I showed a negative response. Truly speaking we were talking over the phone at that time. When he suddenly said that he liked me I couldn't even think what I had to think. To say how much I got shocked ... I who was relaxing on bed at once switched off the phone and sat on the bed. At that moment it became a terrible shock to me. Yes .... he behaved like a normal boy just like other boys. So I also felt that he was a normal person. In the same way he is very honest. He can't tell lies".
