Sri Lankan Model - Yureni Noshika

Yureni Noshika is a Sri Lankan actress active in the teledrama and movie industries. Noshika began her career winning the Miss Sri Lanka for Miss World contest and went on to commercials before making it in the television and movie industries.

Yureni Noshika was born in Sri Lanka as the only child in the family. Raised Christian, she studied at Methodist College in Colombo and was a model student who excelled at academics and participated in a broad range of extra-curricular activities. Noshika was gaining qualifications to follow a career in law but this is currently on hold due to her acting obligations.

Noshika won the prestigious "Models of the New Generation" pageant hosted by Derana TV in 2006, and went on to represent Sri Lanka at the Tourism World contest. Her potential for acting and musical talents were evident and she decided to follow a career in these fields, opting out of following a law career, which was her next preferred choice.

Due to her magnetic personality, natural beauty and popularity, Noshika is among the leading social media celebrities in Sri Lanka. Both her official and unofficial pages are enjoying tremendous activity from subscribers and visitors. In a country where the popularity of cricket tops all other forms of entertainment, Noshika ranks just behind Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardena, Sanath Jayasuriya, and Muttiah Muralitharan, who are all revered icons of the sport. This titanic accomplishment can be attributed to the her humility despite the immense popularity she is enjoying in Sri Lanka.

Noshika is an avid fitness fan and her expertise in the area has led to her having her own regular fitness column in the Daily News. Following her success and the experience gained thereafter, Noshika was selected to be a judge for the Miss Sri Lanka Online contest in 2012
