Meet Sonali Silva, The Sri Lankan Supermodel Who Rocks Fashion Spreads And Social Work With Equal Ease.
Welcome to Maxim! How’s it going?
Hi, Maxim.
What’s the best part about being a model in Sri Lanka, compared to anywhere else?
Locations! It’s such a beautiful little island with just the most amazing backdrops. Also, Sri Lanka has an amazing island vibe; it’s a closely knit community of artists here, and working is just really chilling with your friends in a beautiful location.
Given you’re from the island nation, is it safe to assume you’re a kick-ass surfer?
Oh, not at all! I have zero balance, and I am mostly just decoration on the beach.
What are you usually up to when you are not modelling?
I just graduated. I did medical bioscience and political science at uni; so right now, I am working my first job as a public health communication analyst at an INGO. I also run a small PR & branding company.
Tell us a little bit about your work in public health. It sounds amazing.
