PUSHPIKA SUBMITS DOCUMENTS OF MARRIAGE TO WORLD PAGEANT AS SHE READIES FOR MRS. WORLD

Pushpika’s husband purpotedly contradicts her statement on social media

● Allegations over her divorce had been false as the matter had now been resolved

● My husband has also made a statement to the effect that I am not divorced

Mrs. Sri Lanka, Pushpika de Silva, who recently gained wide publicity following her ad hoc uncrowning by reigning Mrs. World Caroline Jurie at the Mrs. Sri Lanka pageant held last Sunday said she has submitted all the proof of her marriage to Mrs. World international and claimed it was sheer jealousy that led Jurie and former model Chula Padmendra to behave in the manner they did.

In an interview with the ‘Ada’ newspaper, Pushpika said that allegations over her divorce had been false as the matter had now been resolved and insisted that she had studied all the rules and regulations of the pageant before contesting.

“My husband has also made a statement to the effect that I am not divorced and there is nothing more than that. I have submitted all the necessary documents to the World Pageant. In a situation where the World

Pageant has nothing to worry about why the others are eager to act in this manner,” Pushpika said.

She further said she was unsure who manipulated Jurie and Chula and said they had invited their own downfall with this behaviour. She however said she had forgiven them both for their actions and ‘begged’ them not to repeat it again.

Pushpika’s statements however have been contradicted by her husband who has released a statement to the media claiming that the couple were currently in the midst of a divorce case.

If the divorce gets finalized before the Mrs. World international pageant which is expected to be held in Sri Lanka in December, a question arises if Pushpika will be able to contest as a divorcee as the pageant requires all contestants to be married at the time of the pageant. Pushpika is yet to answer that question directly herself.
