In a recent interview, actor Taapsee Pannu discussed her marriage to badminton player and coach Mathias Boe. She revealed being "very impressed and in awe" of him when they first met, finding him a refreshing change from the usual people she encountered. Pannu also shared insights on how they navigate cultural differences, given Boe's Danish background.
Opening up about her admiration for Mathias, Taapsee Pannu told the media, "I think the fact that he is an athlete and someone who had won at the Olympics for a start... half the job was done there (laughs). I have always been very impressed and in awe of athletes who play for their country and perform under extreme pressure without getting affected. I have loads of respect and admiration for them."
The actor also disclosed that she "tested" Mathias extensively before being certain he was the one. "There was a lot of testing and a lot of me being sure. It was not like a love-at-first-sight situation, for me at least—I took time to assess if it’s really practical... the feasibility of the relationship was important for me. I was obviously fond of him and respected him, and we kept meeting, and I grew to love him. So falling in love didn’t happen in a month or instantly. It is a fact though, which I keep repeating in most interviews about him—when I met him I felt like I met a man," she said.
