A story doing rounds in political circles says that yet another belle of theatre and cinema of yesteryear is making a mint by operating a sex racket catering to a select clientele of some lascivious senior purohitas and business tycoons.

The sex workers employed by this onetime belle are mostly young actresses, they say.

The lady-pimp, said to be a confidante of a number of Diyawanna seniors is obtaining a variety of favours from the purohitas in addition to money for catering to their needs.

A very senior Diyawanna member in particular is lavishly spending his wealth on the young girls sent to him by the lady-pimp from time to time, they say.
