No connection with Purnika .... I haven't even thought of marrying-- Peshala
Peshala Manoj who is a programme presenter at Derana channel has expressed his opinion to a weekend newspaper in relation to the news-clip of Purnika - Peshala which caused an uproar last week.
What he says is that he has absolutely no connection with Purnika. Though he has come to be known as a person who is married and has been separated, what he made the newspaper understand is that he still is a bachelor. His comments are as follows:
is married and has been separated, what he made the newspaper understand is that he still is a bachelor. His comments are as follows:* There's news to say that a certain popular family was broken up and that Purnika is getting ready to share your life with that family. Is this true?
I also heard about that story .. just like that. But there's no truth in that story ... because I don't have a need to break up a nice family and stat a family of my own. At the same time it must be said that if the family life was alright, it won't break as you said. That story is a big lie.
* What is this story that you are living separately with her?
That must be asked from those who circulate that story as to under what basis I was connected to that story. It has been said that I live in a certain apartment with the person concerned. But I am living with my father and mother. When I go for work in the morning it is ? It's my mother who prepares my meals and even washes my clothes.
* It's said that there's no smoke without fire?
That must be asked from the person who set fire ... as to how the smoke went up. We are poor ... normal people. We have been well brought up. If that announcer called Purnika divorces ... if I need so much, I'll marry her in a genuine way. Not only she ... anybody for that matter. But I have no connection with her.
* Some artistes who say that there's no connection ... after a short period of time they get involved in an affair publicly. Would Peshala also do so?
If I have a connection with Purnika, I'll say that now in public ... won't leave room to say that at a later date. There's a talk that I have got married thrice. I came to Sri Lanka in the year 2010. So how can I enter into three marriages?
* Aren't you Peshala ... a lover still?
Before I get involved in a romance I have a lot of work to do. I am a person who's busy with music. This popularity is not there always. These days, must earn well ... to make a life of my own without being a burden to my parents. Because of that I'll think of love and marriage later.
* Do you speak to Purnika even at a time there's a rumour that you have a connection with Purnika?
Not that I can't speak to her. There's no difficulty either. I have a backbone to speak to her wherever I see her.
