Nishadi Ekanayake has been crowned Mrs. Sri Lanka World 2026 after competing under contestant number 12 at the grand finale of this year’s pageant.
Ekanayake emerged victorious amid strong competition from other contestants, earning the opportunity to represent Sri Lanka at the upcoming Mrs. World international pageant.
An alumna of Mahamaya Girls’ College in Kandy, Ekanayake demonstrated excellence in both academics and sports during her school years. She currently works as a nurse and entrepreneur while pursuing a Master of Science (MSc) degree.
Chandimal Jayasinghe serves as the National Director of the Mrs. Sri Lanka World pageant.
Sri Lanka has previously celebrated two notable victories at the international Mrs. World competition. Rosy Senanayake made history in 1984 by winning the inaugural Mrs. World title at the competition held in Queensland, Australia, becoming the first Sri Lankan to secure the international crown.
In 2020, Caroline Jurie brought further recognition to Sri Lanka by winning the Mrs. World title at the pageant held in Las Vegas, United States.
With these previous achievements, Ekanayake’s victory at the national level has raised hopes for another international success for Sri Lanka. She is now set to represent the country on the global stage, with expectations high for her performance at the upcoming Mrs. World pageant.
