Himali Siriwardhana's photo collection

Himali Siriwardena is an actress who has shown her talent in dance. For a time with the role of a mother, she was not seen in art. Now the familiar Himalayas are beginning to emerge from the arts.

Himali has started working in the field of art again, right?

Yes. I was away from the arts for a while. Because I spent time with that son .. I have also been invited to a new play. Filming is set to begin soon.

Will Himali dancer get a new lease of life with her judging role?

Dancing is really like a part of my life. I had to stay away from dancing for about three years. It was very difficult to dance. Last time I set aside time for my son. With the judging role, I get new energy again. It is also a good opportunity to let you know that I have resumed work. Because a lot of people don't know I've started working again.

Have you missed so many designs because it was quiet for a while?

When I was five months old, I took a leave of absence from work. I grew up not attending any programs for two and a half years. The creators had forgotten if there was such a person because they could not see me. When I saw him again recently, many people said to me, "Oh, did you go to work?" We don't know. Some designs missed me.

Did the audience forget you as well?

The audience did not forget me. They often responded to me on social media. Looking to see if it works again. They often told me to join the theater and dance.

We 've seen you before, from heavy creations to artistic shapes. Will you continue to make such a choice in acting?

Yes. I started acting after three years with the intention of contributing to good productions like Sandagala Tenna. Sometimes we have to nail it in place. If I was looking for the kind of creation I like, I would not have been able to join the theater for a long time. Because now there are less artistic creations than before and we can't even tell if they speak for themselves. So like the dream company, I joined a different design that I had never done before. I loved that character too. I would love to get involved in good different creations in the future. Little by little the background to it is created. The work I have been invited to is such an artistic creation.

Can you be busy with acting now that you are a mother?

I'm not usually a pickpocket. The same thing happened before. Even in the past I did one or two plays a year because I gave priority to the dance troupe. I think it's better to do one or two good designs than to do a lot of designs. In any case, I will be able to balance everything so that my son's work and personal life are not interrupted. I have that habit anyway.

Has your husband released you for art as before?

It is important for the baby not to miss work. My sister is also there to take care of the son. I am not afraid to leave my son with someone of my own. I know she will take care of my son just as my sister took care of me. My husband has given me the freedom to join the arts without leaving my son's work.

Will the designers make good use of your talent in the future?

I don't think the designers took full advantage of me before. I got to create very little that felt right. Feeling we have 'Run out of gas' emotionally. Even now I can't say whether I will take full advantage of my talent. There are identities and other reasons to get into design now. So I don't know if it will be fair to my ability. Anyway I do justice to what I get.

Get Involved in Designs Can you cope with some of the things that some designers are now focusing on?

It's a little hard to resist. I'm not ready to do anything. I also have frustrating moments in the field. There are times when some channels did not hire me because my husband is in a media company. I do not know why. I have never taken such an opportunity even from the channel where my husband works. I don't care what Kapili says. I came to this place with my talent. I am happy about that trip. I never wanted to take advantage of other things except to remain that talent.

Do you have goals to achieve in the field of acting?

I have done a good teledrama. I never got the chance to get involved in good movies. I was involved in two films, The Ambassador's Home and Breaking News. Those two creations have not been screened yet. I would love to get involved if I get good movies that can make good use of my dancing and acting skills. We have not had such an opportunity yet. I really have a thirst to be involved in good design. That thirst still could not be quenched.

No idea to start the Sensation Dance Troupe again?

The dance troupe is planning to start again. With the current situation in the country, the number of shows has decreased. The dance troupe started but had to work with limitations. I can't even be too busy. So it took a while for the dance troupe to start. Some people don't even know that I stopped the dance troupe. Some people call me at work and tell me that I have stopped dancing.

Sensation is a dance troupe that has been in good demand for some time. Will it be easy for the dance troupe to recreate the demand?
