Hailing from the historic city of Anuradhapura, Anudi Gunasekara stands as Sri Lanka's proud representative at Miss World 2025 in Telangana, India. Beyond her elegance and poise, Anudi's commitment to societal change shines through her impactful "Saheli" initiative.

"Saheli," meaning "best friend," addresses the pressing issue of period poverty in Sri Lanka. Through this project, Anudi has reached over 10,000 women, providing not only essential sanitary products but also fostering awareness across communities, schools, and families . Her efforts have been instrumental in prompting governmental action, leading to reduced taxes on sanitary goods in the local market .

Anudi's presence in Telangana has been met with admiration. Her opening performance, adorned in a dress featuring the blue water lily-Sri Lanka's national flower-paid homage to Manel Illankoon, the nation's first Miss World contestant. This gesture beautifully bridged cultural heritage with contemporary advocacy. While in India, Anudi’s media interviews in Telangana have gone viral on YouTube, drawing praise for her graceful speaking style, confidence, and compassionate message. Her articulate communication has not only elevated her project internationally but also strengthened the cultural bond between Sri Lanka and India.

From Vesak events to sporting days and gala dinners, every moment she shares has captured attention across social platforms. Sri Lanka stands behind Anudi with pride—she embodies the true meaning of Beauty With a Purpose.

📣 Let’s support her journey and show the world what empowered South Asian women can do—starting from Sri Lanka to Telangana and beyond!
