Young 
Naumi Oshini Liyanage  – the bundle-of-energy who just turned 17 recently, has already made  name for herself as a talented actress, presenter and dancer.
Having bagged several top awards at dance competitions held in several  countries Naumi Oshini has already been part of a large number of  popular television commercials.
There is indeed something special in this Wycherly International School student.
She is playing a key role in Udayakantha Warnasuriya's latest movie  'Challenges' as Thushika and the feedback she gets has been tremendous.
"Challenges is doing well and the feedback I get these days is so  encouraging. I am thankful to Udaya Uncle for having the confidence in  me and in return I guess I've given my best. I must thank the entire  Challenges team for supporting me from the start to the end. We were  like one family unit. We found it difficult to say goodbye to each other  after the sixty-day shooting schedule ended. It was an unforgettable  period in my life. Even the senior artistes like Lucky Dias, Vasanthi  Chanthurani and Sangeetha Weeraratne were so cooperative to us. In fact  most of the cast comprised youngsters. This is indeed a milestone movie  for me. Besides the film team, my mother Manori Liyanage was right  behind me giving me all the support to play my role well," she said.
"My mother organized a musical show titled 'Angeline rocks with boys'  about three years ago, and Udaya Uncle was among the audience. I took  part in some dance sequences. He saw me and asked my mother if I would  like to act in a movie.  That paved me the way to accept the challenge  of acting in 'Challenges'. Dance choreographer Shan Perera helped me  grab two golden opportunities to partner Channa Perera in his  performance in the Mega Star competition on Swarnavahini. There,  Swarnavahini's producer Okshan Wijeratne asked if I would like to  present television programmes.  Then came that opportunity. Later I met  Buddhika Kulasekara and I started off with MUSIX. Today I present the  Super Hits segment of the morning Ayubowan Sri Lanka programme daily on  Swarnavahini. I recently got through my London OLs and I hope to pursue  higher studies.

Naumi Oshini had been getting several television offers in recent  months, but her educational commitments had distanced her from such  offers. However, she says she would always consider good characters  coming in good scripts. 
"I have got two such good offers to play main roles in tele dramas. I  play the role of Punchi Sangili in Lalith Pannipitiya's upcoming movie  'Sangili'," says Naumi Oshini whose hobbies are watching TV and  swimming.
"I am so grateful to my mother, my father who is employed in Perth,  Udaya Uncle, Shanthi Warnasuriya aunty, Donald Uncle, Jayanath Uncle,  Channa Perera, Okshan and Buddhika Kulasekara, Ash Liyanage, Sheshadri  and Denushka for the support they continue to give me in my career,"  says the promising, multi-talented teenager.
