industry, Lucky Deva of Goden Chimes has composed a special song

day of one of the felicitation ceremonies. A special feature of
this song signifies the different films which proves that she is
a jewel of an actress. "While
listening to a song sung in appreciation of Marilyn Monroe, I wondered
as to why a song has not been still composed in recognition and
appreciation of Malani Fonseka. Hence this came to my memory, and
then I composed this song an year ago. During this time I happened
to meet Malani and her husband Lucky. I mentioned that I have composed
a song exclusively for Malani, and they were highly impressed. I
consider that I am proud and privileged have got the opportunity
of presenting this on this special occasion", Lucky Deva explained. This particular
song of mixer rhyme and rhythm of 1970's composed by Lucky was aired
on Sirasa TV very recently together with few selected cuts from
Malani's films. Lucky Deva confessed that although he has composed a large number of songs, this song in particular was a special achievement for him. Each time we hear this song, Malani's image will live forever. Sunday
