Who is the lady who refused to marry the actor Ivara Kalniņa?

There was a passionate romance in the life of actor Ivars Kalniņš, which faded here, then flared up with new vigor, reports fakty.ua.

Yelena Kondulainen, a Russian actress and singer of Finnish origin, has experienced moments full of romance and passion in her relationship with Ivara Kalniņas. Since her youth, she considered Ivars Kalniņas to be her man’s ideal. In life, they met on the set of the movie “Captain Frakass”, but Kalniņš was already married at that time. Kondulainen married her longtime suitor Sergej soon after, but the couple later divorced due to her mother-in-law’s negative attitude.

Then Yelena let producer Yuriy Lyubashevski take care of her, who gave her the main role in the film “Show for a single man”. The actress asked to give work to Kalniņas as well, and the producer agreed. While filming together, something more than friendship flared up between the two. Rumor has it that one night Ivars came to Elena’s room… But when the filming was over, the two communicated only by phone for two months.

That year, Ivar spent the January holidays in Moscow with Yelena, and although Lubashevsky proposed to her, the actress refused because she was too infatuated with her colleague. “It gradually became clear that I would not be able to move to Riga, but Ivar hated the idea of ​​moving to Moscow. At that time, I had no doubt that everything was moving towards a wedding. But the longer I talked with Ivar, the more terrible the prospect of ending up in the role of his wife seemed to me, “Kondulainen admitted.

Jelena was confused by the increased attention of fans to Kalniņš: wherever the actor went, women literally rushed to Ivar. The artist felt that she could turn from a self-confident star into an upset, jealous wife who sees a rival in every neighbor. Then, when Ivars left for Latvia, the blonde stopped calling him because she had other problems.

“Sergei, to whom she had taken her son for some time, threatened not to return the child. This statement made me seriously rethink my life. I realized that I needed to find a man who would be my protector and a good father to my son. The affair with Ivar was too chaotic and romantic, Kondulainen concluded.

This is how fakty.ua describes these events. Ivars Kalniņš is gentlemanly silent about the events of that time.
