Sarala Brand Ambassador for Tikiri

INTERNATIONALLY-acclaimed child actress Sarala Kariyawasam has been chosen as the brand ambassador for Seylan Tikiri. She will again perform a starring role, this time promoting Tikiri -the pioneer children’s account introduced by Seylan Bank.

Sarala became a celebrity following her astonishing performance in Deepa Mehta’s Oscar-nominated film Water. She received much praise for her endearing role as a child widow.

Her fine performance was hailed by critics, and she was chosen as the Best Child Actor of the World in an International Feature Film by Hollywood’s Young Artistes Foundation.

The President of the Foundation Maureen Dragone said, “Sarala performed an absolutely outstanding role in a brilliant film that should have been given more recognition by Hollywood”.

Sarala, who starred in Water alongside Lisa Ray, John Abraham and Seema Biswas, is today a highly confident young girl with a very promising future.

She is the youngest in her family and has a sister and a brother. Her new role as Brand Ambassador for Tikiri will certainly enhance the reputation of Seylan Bank as the ‘Bank with a heart’.

It was Seylan Tikiri that introduced the concept of rewarding children with gifts over 15 years ago. Since then, the number of slabs has been increased many times, and now a whole new range of exciting and attractive gifts are offered. These include DVD players, swatches, bicycles, electronic organs, Discmans and cameras.

In addition to the array of exciting gifts, interest is calculated on daily balances and credited to the account on a monthly basis.
