New Delhi:
Taapsee Pannu Marries Her Longtime Boyfriend Mathias Boe in Udaipur in March this year. The wedding was a departure from the typical celebrity extravaganza and was a super private affair. The actress opened up about her decision to keep her wedding a secret, citing her reluctance to subject her personal life to public scrutiny. In an interview with ANI, Taapsee Lake said, “I’m actually still hesitant in certain aspects. I don’t like to make a headline out of it. That’s how I see it with actresses: once you’re with someone, no matter how big or small their personality is, it starts to take over your headlines, like headlines about my work.”
Taapsee Lake Taapsee did not share any pictures from the wedding. However, a video of her bridal entrance went viral. Talking about the leaked video, Taapsee told ANI, “I’m like, you know, this really validated my belief that I shouldn’t be putting my personal life out there. Because the kind of things they were writing there ‘Oh, what is this? She’s overdoing it at her wedding. Why isn’t she covering her head? Why is she…’ The kind of scrutiny and the liberty people take to comment on what I should be doing in my personal life is not something I’m okay with.”
The actress mentioned that she doesn’t want her body of work to be overshadowed by headlines about her relationship alone. “It actually happened to me. So when I talked about him (Mathias) very casually, it became the headline of a one-page interview I did about my work. Imagine someone who’s just entered the industry and just made their first film. My second film, Babywas about to release, and I had given an interview talking excitedly about how my first film became a hit, how I got a small but powerful role in this film and how I am trying to make the transition from South cinema to Hindi. I spoke about so much, but all they could manage to headline was his name just because I am dating this person,” Taapsee was quoted as saying by ANI.
The actress stressed the need for privacy, especially when it comes to her personal life. She told ANI, “I don’t even know if they know exactly who he is. But it was probably just out of interest: ki ye kisko meeting kar rahi hai? Iska chakkar kiske sath chal raha hai? So that kind of thing didn’t make me feel good. Because I worked really hard to be where I am, to earn the name that I have. It can’t be surpassed by anyone who isn’t really responsible for it, right? So, it’s my personal life and it will be strictly personal, and this is my profession. I was strictly professional.”
Talking about her relationship, Taapsee Pannu said, “We are married now, but we were seeing each other for 10 years before we got married. And it was pretty much the same year that I debuted in the film industry.”
Taapsee Pannu, who made her Hindi film debut with Chashme Bad Door in 2013, is best known for her performances in critically acclaimed and successful films such as Pink, Naam Shabana, Dunki, Soorma, Mulk, Manmarziyaan and Thappad.
