Because of these posts, many social media users had assumed that she had won the Miss Universe Australia 2022 contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we also noticed a number of posts in which social media users had congratulated Janitha Perera (popularly known as Sharadha) for being selected as a national finalist for Miss Universe Australia 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a post from popular Musician Mariazelle Goonetilleke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we decided to find out the facts behind these claims<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact Check<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Janitha Perera became sensation among Sri Lankan crowds after starring for a music video named as \u201cSharadha (\u0dc1\u0dbb\u0db0\u0dcf)\u201d<\/a> in early 2019. Janitha who loves acting has been living in Australia since her childhood and has featured in several short dramas as well. More on this here<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we checked whether there were any international media reports about Janitha Perera`s victory as Miss Universe Australia 2022. However, we were not able to find such media reports nor any reports about Miss Universe Australia 2022 grand finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
