It's true that there are problems ... but I still love Umali -- Saranga voices his ideas for first time

Rumours went round some days ago that the marriage of tele-actor Saranga Disasekera has gone on the rocks but he kept his mouth shut in the presence of the media. However he has voiced his opinion for the first time on behalf of a newspaper.

This is how he responded to questions posed to

   There was a concert called 'Teletharu reyak' in Melbourne. It's a concert where male and female artistes participated there displaying their skills and extending their cordiality among the fans. I also attended the concert.

   I am not prepared to make comments on it right now ... because the proper time will come in the future; I'll talk then.

   Without identifying correctly what those influences are, it's not fair in blaming anyone. It'll be possible to reveal everything to my fans and the media once the proper time comes. This is not the correct time for me.

   Yes ... I love her still.

   Umali too loves me.

   Nobody can do so. But domestic problems can crop up in anybody's family life. Those are matters which should be negotiated with the couple having a discussion with the elders. I and Umali are a normal family just as much as others. We aren't abnormal people. I am of the standpoint that when some problem emerges in the family they should involve each other's elders and solve the problem.
