Personal life

He is married to Renuka Pushpakumari Vithana, and the wedding ceremony was celebrated on 3 July 2010 at Paradise Inn Hotel, Delthawa, Piliyandala. His wife is from Hambantota district and worked in Ceylon Water Board.[2] The couple has one daughter.

Jagath's sister Kokilani Benaragama is married to popular actor Ravindra Yasas.[5] The couple has one son, Kasun Chamara who is also a renowned actor and singer, and started his career with musical the program Hapan Padura.

Acting career

Benaragama started his career with a stage drama directed by Douglas Siriwardena. While acting, he also worked as an officer at the Presidential office. However, after a severe vehicle accident, he resigned from the office, where at that time, he is invited to play in a television serial by V. Sivadasan.[6]

In 2014, Benaragama's character in television serial Pabasara, which was telecast on ITN has been theatrically killed as he is contesting from Sarath Fonseka's party in the election.[7] He stated that this has happened intentionally because the channel is owned by the government and his election party is opposed to that.[8]
