Actress and entrepreneur Piumi Hansamali has rejected claims that she had any connection with the recently arrested underworld figure known as “Kehelbaddara Padme.”
Media reports earlier today said that Hansamali had been questioned by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) regarding her alleged links to Padme.
In a Facebook post, she clarified that she had only met Kehelbaddara Padme once in March 2022 during a New Year celebration in Dubai, and that the meeting was casual.
“I first saw this person at that event with his wife and children. They took a photo with me. He also said that he wanted to become fair and more attractive, so I told him to use my Piumi Skin products,” she wrote. Hansamali said that Padme must have used her products, as he now looks very attractive.
Hansamali insisted that she has never been involved in any financial dealings with Padme.
“The CID asked if I had any monetary transactions with him — never ever! I have no need for drug money, illegal money, or any black money. I’m an independent woman who built my business, Piumi Skin Private Limited,” she said.
She added humorously that she has no connection to the underworld, saying, “I’m scared of those things — I don’t want to die of a gunshot in vain.”
She reiterated that anyone can use her skincare products “to become fair and beautiful”. (Newswire)
