Nominees for the Vanithabhimana Season 5 awards
View(s):NDB Bank, in collaboration with News 1st, is continuing the tradition of honouring the achievements of Sri Lankan women through the Sri Lanka Vanithabhimana programme, a platform that recognises and celebrates outstanding contributions made by women to the nation’s society, economy, and culture.
The grand finale is set to take place on August 20, where winners across provincial and corporate categories will be revealed. Until then, the public has the power to decide who will be crowned the Most Popular Woman of the year, the bank said in a media release.
This year’s finalists represent a dynamic cross-section of Sri Lankan excellence: Anudi Gunasekara, Sri Lanka’s official representative for Miss World 2024; Tharindi Fernando, an award-winning actress and model; Kanchana Anuradhi, a beloved singer and returning nominee; Lochana Jayakodi, a leading social media influencer; and Shanudrie Priyasad, a versatile actress.
To vote for your Most Popular Woman of 2025, send an SMS with VB (space) nominee number to 7788.
As with previous seasons, Sri Lanka Vanithabhimana Season 5 is not only about accolades but about empowering women, fostering recognition, and building a platform for visibility. NDB Bank remains committed to supporting women from all walks of life, through financial empowerment, recognition platforms, and inclusive community initiatives.
