Bollywood actress and adult entertainer Sunny Leone has said she loves Sri Lanka's king coconuts, which she called orange coconut, in a ticktok video made in Colombo during a visit earlier this week.

Sri Lanka's economy is expected to grow 3% this year, reversing last year's contraction, while inflation, which peaked at 70% in September 2022, moderated to 0.5% in August.

The Model Urban Green Zones project is part of the Clean Sri Lanka program, set up in January, which aims to foster cultural, ethical, social and environmental revival, the government said last week.
