Bulgarian musicians, actors, and writers have congratulated Dara on her Eurovision win, marking Bulgaria's first victory in the competition's 70th edition in Vienna. The victory means that Bulgaria will host next year's Eurovision Song Contest.

Vasil Naidenov celebrated Dara’s success by sharing a photo of her with the statue in his social media profiles, writing, “Dara wins Eurovision! Bravo!”

Actor Dimitar Marinov also sent his congratulations to Dara in social media: “Bangaranga comes from Jamaican slang and means a noisy, chaotic, beautiful mess. It has this raw, phonetic power that resists translation—you feel it before you understand it. Like a happy rebellion. DARA! They criticize you only because they do less than you. Congratulations, Bulgaria!”

Actress Maria Bakalova also expressed her pride in Dara’s victory through her social media posts, sharing a photo of Dara and stating how proud she is of the Bulgarian Eurovision winner.

The band Moletz, which competed against Dara in the national selection that chose the Bulgarian representative for Eurovision 2026, wrote, “Dara was on fire, incredibly on fire, more than every other contestant in the competition. She showed them how it’s done! We are proud of Dara.”

Musical artist and actor Vladimir Mihaylov, who previously represented Bulgaria at Eurovision twice, also congratulated Dara on her victory in Vienna. Vladimir Mihaylov performed as a backup vocalist for Kristian Kostov in Kiev in 2017 and as part of the group Equinox in Lisbon in 2018.

Actor Alexander Sano wished Dara the next Grammy award, expressing his sentiments through Facebook.

Composer, writer, and lyricist Vida Pironkova wrote on Facebook, “Congratulations to all Bulgarians! Eurovision will be in Bulgaria for the first time, thanks to DARA and Bangaranga!”

Author and Booker Prize winner Georgi Gospodinov shared photos of the final ranking and the Eurovision winner on Facebook with the caption, “Thanks to Dara!”

Actress Teodora Duhovnikova advised in her social media post that those who had criticized Dara about the song should not do so anymore. “And again, Bulgaria, don’t deny your children! Dara won! Bulgaria won!”

Singer Veniamin Dimitrov expressed his emotions in a video shared on social media, saying, “Long live Bulgaria!” He mentioned that he was very moved by the fact that Dara is the first Bulgarian to win Eurovision. His message was, “Don’t hate, love.”

Choreographer Yavor Kunchev, who shared a photo of the final ranking on social media, compared Dara’s triumph in Vienna to Bulgaria’s fourth place in the World Cup in 1994, writing, “Since 1994, I haven’t been this excited. Bangaranga.”
