Baminnahennadige Dinakshie Priyasad is a Sri Lankan actress and television presenter who was born on March 18, 1990 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. She is Sri Lankan by nationality and comes from a Sinhalese family background, and as someone raised in Colombo she is commonly associated with Sinhala and English, with many Sri Lankans in urban settings also using some Tamil in daily life. She grew up in a film-connected household as the eldest daughter of filmmaker Dinesh Priyasad and Shirani Priyasad, and her sisters Sheshadri Priyasad and Shanudrie Priyasad also entered the entertainment field. Her schooling is linked with Holy Family Convent, Bambalapitiya and Royal Institute International School in Colombo, and public biographies also connect her with engineering studies at the Open University of Sri Lanka and media and mass communication studies at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. On Instagram, she uses the handle @dinakshie, where she has over 1M+ followers and a large archive of posts reflecting both her professional and family life.
Dinakshie Priyasad began acting very early, making her screen debut as a child in Apaye Thathpara 84,000, a film directed by her father, before later establishing herself in Sinhala teledramas and feature films. Public filmography records connect her with television work including Wassana Sihinaya, Sanda Giri Pawwa, Hithata Wahal Weemi, Piyavi, Kalu Sewanella, Wes, COM, and Take Care, while her film credits include Double Trouble, Me Wage Adarayak, Zoom, The Rainbow, Suparna, Yaaluwoda? Yaaluida?, Mandara, Visal Adare, Wishma, Rosa Adare, Clarence: Rhythm of the Guitar, and the announced Dharmaduddhaya 2. Her listed roles show a career that stretches across cinema, television series, mini-series, music-video appearances, and newer digital content, including Under One Roof in the web space. This range helps explain why she remains one of the more visible contemporary personalities in Sri Lankan entertainment, with her work spanning lead roles, ensemble projects, and presenter-driven media visibility rather than being limited to one format.
In her personal life, Dinakshie Priyasad is publicly known for her marriage to actor and presenter Saranga Disasekara, with widely shared wedding posts dating to August 28, 2020. Public profiles also identify the couple as parents to their daughter, Saranya Disasekara. Her public-facing content presents a family-centered image, often mixing everyday gratitude, celebrations, fashion, beauty collaborations, and parenting moments with a generally upbeat tone. That combination of family visibility, entertainment work, and social presence has made her a familiar figure to many Sri Lankan audiences beyond her acting roles alone.
