At a time when Bollywood weddings have become extravagant showcases, with each one trying to surpass the last in terms of grandeur, actor Taapsee Pannu chose a road less taken by having a small, intimate ceremony. She married Danish badminton player and former Olympic medalist Mathias Boe in Udaipur, Rajasthan, on March 23, 2024, in the presence of family and close friends.
Blending Sikh and Christian rituals to reflect their diverse backgrounds, Taapsee and Mathias tied the knot after 10 years of dating. Among the attendees were Taapsee’s Dobaaraa and Thappad co-star Pavail Gulati, writer Kanika Dhillon and close friend and director Anurag Kashyap.
Revealing that the ceremony was attended by just about 100–125 people, including both Danish and Indian guests, Taapsee noted during a chat with Fever FM that marriage is a “very private and personal moment.” “It just so happened because I chose to involve only those people who knew us directly. The people who organised it and all were my friends and family itself,” she added.
In response to many people on social media saying they didn’t know who Mathias Boe was, Taapsee Pannu expressed surprise that many were unaware of his significant accomplishments in badminton. “I feel sad for those people who don’t know who this guy is. And I don’t want to come out and tell people ke acha ‘just because he is not a cricketer or a big businessman, so you don’t really feel like knowing.’”
“This is the guy who is probably one of the biggest achievers in badminton in the world and right now probably responsible for where our men’s badminton doubles have reached,” the Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba actor stated. “Vo kaafi visible hai, kaafi chamakta bhi hai safed sa; So usko chhupana asaan nahin hai itna (He is quite visible, shines and is very fair, so it’s not easy to hide him),” she quipped.
During the interview, Taapsee Pannu also commented on the tendency of people to describe a couple’s union in possessive terms such as “uski ho gayi (This person is theirs now).” “I’m my own person. He is his own person. I can be haseen for 1.4 billion people, I should be, and he can be a kicka** athlete for the whole world and he should be. Main uski nahin hui hun vo mera bhi nai hua hai (I’m not his and he is not mine). We just decided to have a great party and celebrate our relationship.”
