This report is Confirmed false
and is of
Low Priority.
Here is why -
An external fact checker had checked with the High Commission of India and confirmed that Yohani de Silva has not been formally awarded any ambassadorship. Read the external fact check (Sinhala) here: https://srilanka.factcrescendo.com/2021/09/22/indian-high-commission-did-not-appoint-yohani-as-a-new-cultural-ambassador/. The rumour is a misinterpretation of a recent tweet by the High Commission of India, which said that Yohani is acting as a cultural ambassador between India and Sri Lanka, with the popularity gained by her cover song Manike Mage Hithe in India.
