The story behind the name “Chichi”?
When my brother Yo was small, he found it difficult to pronounce ‘chooty’ (small) malli. So once, at a party, he had been stuffing his pockets with food. One of the aunties had asked him as to why he was not eating the food but stuffing it in his pockets, and he had replied saying, “This is for my chichi (supposed to be chooty) malli’. At the time of this incident I was about 1 or 2 months old, since then everyone calls me ‘chichi’.

Your love for racing, when did it start?
From the day we were exposed to vehicles, always loved being fast and I love the adrenaline rush you get in fast things.
Do you like being called Chichi?
Yes, I just want everyone to call me that and nothing else.

How were you in school? I was decent, did my work, had a bunch of friends from my younger days and never changed them.
How would you describe yourself in two words? “Just right”
.jpg)
What is your favourite thing to spend money on? Bikes and cars.
What is the weirdest thing about you? Are you proud of it?
Always needing to make everyone around me workout, especially my girlfriend. I am not proud of it, but I do feel good when I see the people around me fit and healthy.
As the President’s son, two disadvantages you face personally?
1-Public eye on everything I do
2- Lack of freedom in society and the restriction on my girlfriend and friends in their personal lives.

How are you at home? I am the same person I am outside.
Your fashion statement? Anything that makes me look fit and strong. I try out almost all the styles but I am not too picky since mostly anything fits perfectly.
What would be your PERFECT day? Wake up and workout with my girlfriend and friends, finish my work, have the freedom to face the rest of the day, watching movies and riding bikes and end it with a good dinner with all my friends.
.jpg)
Something you admire in your Dad? I admire his commitment to staying healthy and working out every morning.
Something you admire in your mom? I admire her eagerness to help people.
Are you a Mamma’s boy, or a Dadda’s boy? I play as a parents' boy, having both is better in every way.
Where do you like to shop? I shop everywhere, anything that fits perfect will be purchased, price and name does not matter. However, for belts and shoes LV is my brand.
.jpg)
‘IF’
If you could have personally witnessed anything, what would you want to have seen?
I have seen the world, the only thing remaining is out of space, which I strongly believe I will see in a few years.
If you could pick any car.. what will you choose?
1967 fastback Shelby GT500 (Eleanor)
.jpg)
If you woke up one day looking like Yo, what would you do? Grow my hair, run to my girlfriend’s closet and burn it, get her a new set of clothes and give her freedom to choose her own style of clothing with no restrictions. Send my girlfriend to a cosmetic surgeon and get her birthmark removed, go run to Yo’s room , grab his ID and credit card and shop as much as I want to and meet the girlfriend's parents and go propose that I am about the age to get married and put Yo in a bit of trouble and hide till I recover my same old good looks as Chichi. Hahaha basically to create chaos.
If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which one would you choose? Spartacus
If you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A good yummy chicken burger.
On the Spot
Rugby/racing - first choice? RUGBY

Namal, Yoshitha - who do you think is more fashionable?
Neither, I advise them both, but if I had a choice I would say Yo is smarter and Namal is justtttt him, he loves his jeans and body fit T-shirts, cannot complain.

Describe Tatyana Lee in two words? Picture perfect

May 08, 2013 12:00 amI give credit to âChichiâ for being honest. Chichi loves the âadrenaline rush from fast vehiclesâ. While 90% Sri Lankans are struggling on horrible public transport systems and in dusty traffic jams. To get home after a hard dayâs work. Chichi will certainly see space. In fact, he lives out of this world already. That is at Sri Lankan tax payersâ expense. And that will continue. Suba Anagathayak!

May 10, 2013 12:00 amDaily Mirror: you are seriously endangering your credibility by allowing this sort of utter and total crap on your sheets. Either Danu should be sacked for this rubbish or he must be guided and instructed. He has, perhaps not knowing it, totally exposed "Chichi" to the reality that many Sri Lankans were afraid to believe. So here it is in plain and simple terms! While we work ourselves to the bone to pay our bills and taxes for this nation, "Chichi" .."wakes up, worksout, watches movies, rides b

May 10, 2013 12:00 amI feel I have destroyed brain cells reading this drivel...honestly, Danu this is low even for you. Who cares what his favourite colour is and whether he likes working out in tight tshirts....he has absolutely no depth. Rubbish!

ReplyHow lucky is he? He don't have a proper job. But they were granted money and given director posts for businesses. But at the end it's Sri Lankan people's money that they waste.

May 13, 2013 12:00 amAfter reading the article I lost a lot of respect I had for DM.
ReplyAfter reading the comments I feel lot of respect to DM readers.
What we need to read about from a column like this is about people who built themselves up from basics, people with values and grit, respect and courage. People from whom we can learn something.
This was a useless read.

May 18, 2013 12:00 amWhy are people surprised by this spoilt brattish rich boy comments? Surely, you don't expect any depth or inspiration from spoilt rich brats of SL. I reckon this is your typical teenager growing up in a rich tax payer funded family of SL and most rich Sri Lankans are arrogant and vain like Chichi.

May 22, 2013 12:00 amI don't understand why many people hate successful people, its not their fault their rich and come from a good family background, we all want what we don't have understood, yet hating someone for having it all is very immature and not to mention pure jealousy, and not to mention highlighting your lack of capabilities, if you want to be someone out there, then educate your self and move higher, not hate people who are already there, cause they wont care, and you wont go anywhere :)

May 26, 2013 12:00 amThis is a brilliant interview. Why? Because it actually shows Sri Lanka (and the world) that so much of our tax money is going into fuelling the idle pursuits of the Rajapaksa princes. It's not about jealousy; it's about asking where he gets all the money to do these things from, and if it is state money, whether it is appropriate to let it be used in this way while many other people in his country struggle to fulfil their basic needs.

Jan 24, 2014 12:00 amso I was wondering why Danu even bother to interview such a "drama queen" who doesn't have common sense at least to lie to the media without bragging out like it is something to be proud as if he or his forefathers were self made millionaires more like billionaires looking at the expenditures he has, or as if SLns has forgotten their ancestry. And inflation is sky rocketing up so don't worry if you couldn't go to space but the taxpayers are already in space wondering how to live the next couple
