Celebrated media personality, actor, and storyteller Danu Innasithamby officially launched his long-awaited debut book Jaffna Boy, Colombo Diva at a heartfelt gathering held on the 20th of May 2025 at Cinnamon Life. The event was impeccably curated by Shero Events and brought together an intimate crowd of well-wishers, creatives, and changemakers.
More than just a memoir, Jaffna Boy, Colombo Diva is a deeply personal reflection of Danu’s life from growing up in war-torn Jaffna to navigating the vibrant, and often chaotic, world of Colombo’s media and social scenes. The book is raw, witty, and unfiltered, blending stories of northern conflict, queer identity, loss, resilience, and riotous laughter.
In an emotional highlight of the evening, Danu dedicated the book to his late mother, marking her birth anniversary with the official launch. “This isn’t just my story it’s hers too. Her strength, her silence, and her love have shaped every chapter of this book,” he said in his speech, moving many in the room to tears.
Jaffna Boy, Colombo Diva is now available at selected bookstores island wide and will soon be available for international readers. Fans are encouraged to follow @DanuInnasithamby on social media for updates on book signings, reading sessions, and special events across Sri Lanka and beyond.
