Former Miss Universe Sri Lanka Ornella Gunesekere appears in the Netflix series Brigerton Season 3 in a supporting role.
Bridgerton is an American historical romance television series created by Chris Van Dusen for Netflix. Based on the book series by Julia Quinn, it is Shondaland’s first scripted show for Netflix.
Gunesekere won the title of Miss Universe Sri Lanka and made history for Sri Lanka by winning the “Miss Congeniality” Award at the Miss Universe pageant 2018.
She was part of a team that made world history as she also represented Sri Lanka among 18 other models from Nepal, Finland, and Italy at the “Mt. Everest Fashion Runway,” the highest altitude Fashion show, which took place at Kala Pathhar, Mount Everest, on 26 January 2020.
She’s done all this and more while overcoming health related issues that left her facing paralysis and even death, having to learn to walk from scratch barely a decade ago.
