Second marriage of distinguished singer Victor Ratnayaka and resistance by sons
What has circulated over the internet by now in relation to reputed singer of 75 years Victor Ratnayaka at first thought appears to be something unbelievable but nevertheless is by no means not improbable either.
In the instance that Victor's married wife passed away 13 years ago and he has made a second marriage with a 33 year old lady with whom he started his new life abandoning his children is that piece of news. When delving into what has been reported, it was
possible to confirm that this news is not a figment of the imagination as such but a reality. A comment recorded by a son of his, Lelum Ratnayaka who is a musician himself in his Facebook Page further confirmed this sensational piece of news. What has been noted there is that his father expired on March 1st. The reason for this ill-tempered statement is the fact that Victor who was of the habit of attending the almsgiving pinkama of his deceased mother year after year was sabotaged by him on the instigation of his newly-wedded wife and also the remark purported to have been made by Victor informing that he would detach himself from connections with them.The female by the name of Amendra aged 38 years whom Victor is supposed to have married had been employed in a bank (presently not employed) and it is understood that Victor had carried on a romance with her for a period of 9 years. He had been living in his daughter's home until last February and on his 75th birthday he had registered himself with this marriage. By now they are living in Victor's house in Athurugiriya, it is learned.
Though his sons have pointed out that Victor Ratnayaka who carved a name for himself as a reputed singer in this country while having descendants of 3 generations thus getting married to a woman who is less than half his age tantamounts to damage caused to the dignity of their family, Victor has embarked on this new marriage by remarking, "You'll are not my children ... I have no children ... will attach myself only to music activities". After the children were discarded by Victor in this manner, they have been grieved and upset and have come into the conclusion of not keeping this a secret anymore. Their allegation is that the woman concerned has duped Victor and has been greedy for the vast riches and wealth he possesses. Given below are two Facebook comments made by Victor's son Lelum in this context
