“Whenever we saw her, we’d forget all the pain we had in our hearts,” said Kaluarachchi, wiping away tears. “Now, we know films aren’t real, but when we were children, we didn’t realise.”Fonseka was special, Kaluarachchi said, because of the way she represented how everyday people experienced love.
