Taapsee Pannu-Mathias Boe were engaged for nine years

Taapsee Pannu has always refrained from sharing information about her personal life in public. The actress was dating badminton player and coach Mathias Boe for years before she tied the knot. Boe is an athlete who hails from Denmark. In a recent appearance at a podcast, the actress spoke about her relationship in a candid manner.

Appearing at Raunaq Rajani's show Relationshit Advice, with her co-stars from the film Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, Taapsee joked about her relationship with Mathias. She shared, "I made him my boyfriend, got him to retire, made him work for India and then once everything was done I got married to him. I sacrificed my single status for the country so that India can get a doubles badminton coach."

She further revealed that they were engaged for almost a decade before finally tying the knot. She said, "We met around 10-11 years ago and then he proposed to me a year after we met. So nine years of engagement and none of us changed our minds and we still believe that we can stay together for most of or lives." Taapsee added, "I went outside the country for my first date with a person I barely knew. That is the craziest thing I have done in a relationship. I went to Dubai and he flew in from Denmark. He travelled 6 hours and I travelled 2-3 hours. He said that he knows Denmark and Dubai well so that was the two date places. So I thought who will go to Denmark as getting a Schengen visa is a task."

When Taapsee's friends cautioned her against Mathias

In the same conversation, the Pink actress shared that her friends had warned her against dating Mathias Boe since he was a foreigner. She shared, "I wondered why is this guy interested in me. And being from this part of the country, we grew up thinking why would a white person be interested in us. My friend then told me to be careful and warned me about falling victim to human trafficking. But Mathias turned out to be a nice guy and that is why it went on for 10-11 years."

About her wedding, Taapsee told Cosmopolitan India, “I don’t think I have given thoughts about my bridal look... It wasn’t a secret wedding, it was a private and personal event. So, I did not think about issuing a press release. If at all I get an idea, I will be the first one to share it with you all.”
