This was also shared on the Facebook social media network.

It has been mentioned in this video that Mrs. Lhata Walpola was sick after undergoing a very complicated operation and a letter has been given to her daughter as a confession.

It has been mentioned in this video that some events in the family and field have also been mentioned through that letter.

However, edited photos were used in this video, and photos of Mrs. Latha Walpola being hospitalized or undergoing surgery were not included. Also, it seems that this video has been prepared based on a statement she made to a newspaper a few years ago.

Her fans wished her a speedy recovery.

Also, when asked about Mrs. Latha Walpola’s physical health, Thisara Bandara, a close relative (grandson) of her family, said, “Grandma is very healthy and happy at home. The rumor that she is ill and underwent a critical operation is a lie.”

In this regard, he had also left a note on his Facebook account.

Accordingly, Fact Seeker confirms that the video that Latha Walpola underwent emergency surgery is fake with false facts.
