Today, he is scheduled to meet and greet 1,600 Sri Lankan fans after his staff was forced to continually increase the venue’s capacity due to the overwhelming response received from local netizens. The event was originally opened for 250, but hours later they decided to double the capacity to 500 and eventually limited to 1,600 Sri Lankan fans.

Ameri is creating content with his wife Salama Mohamed, portraying the uniqueness and cultural diversity of the destinations and countries they visit via his social media platforms; 8 million on Facebook, 5.3 million on TikTok, 2.5 million on Instagram and over 2.1 million YouTube subscribers.
