Neli Rangelova

Neli Rangelova appears in F*ck You, Love, directed by Isidor Karadimov, in the role of Kamelia.

Neli Rangelova is one of Bulgaria’s recognizable pop and estrada performers. In F*ck You, Love she appears as Kamelia — Viktor’s wife and part of the film’s flashback storyline.

Neli Rangelova plays Kamelia in F*ck You, Love. Kamelia is Viktor’s wife — the woman who stands beside him when the lights go down, while knowing she has never fully been inside his heart. The character is not a villain and not a caricature of the ‘other side’ in a love triangle. She is a woman chosen at a time when Viktor himself did not know what he wanted, and over the years she has learned to carry the role of wife, lady and public figure. Her line matters because it shows that compromise hurts not only the people who are abandoned, but also those who remain inside a comfortable yet incomplete love. Kamelia does not fight for Viktor as property; she fights not to fall apart inside.
