Taapsee Pannu says she's ‘started enjoying life beyond my profession’ in first interview after marriage to Mathias Boe

It's one thing to keep the personal and professional separate and another for a celebrity to dodge the paparazzo and get hitched in privacy, in the company of family and friends, albeit some from the world of showbiz, while staying away from the limelight. Bollywood actor Taapsee Pannu recently gave her first interview after her hush-hush Udaipur wedding to longtime boyfriend and badminton player Mathias Boe. Talking to the magazine Elle, the actor talked about how she's learnt to enjoy life beyond work.

“At this point, I feel my professional choices are largely driven by the value of my time. I want to be sure if taking up a certain project is worth my time because I want to enjoy life beyond work. The second factor is relevance. I would love to cherish my filmography years from now. So, I don’t want to invest time in something that will not stand the test of time,” Taapsee said.

She added, “There will always be people around you who have more or less than you, and in the hustle to reach the top, we forget that there is no ‘top’. I’ve realised it is better to start enjoying life beyond my profession. I’m okay with not becoming the biggest thing ever, but I want to make sure I live happily every day of my life. You are not as significant as you think you are in your head.”

The veil of secrecy surrounding Taapsee's wedding lifted on Wednesday as a leaked video of her marriage to longtime beau Mathias Boe has surfaced online on Reddit, delighting fans worldwide.

Although the actor is yet to officially confirm the nuptials that reportedly took place in March in Udaipur.

In the revealed footage, Taapsee, adorned in a striking red salwar-kameez, embellished with red chooda and traditional kaleere, can be seen making her bridal entrance on the Jagjit Singh-Chitra Singh song Kothe Te Aa Mahiya, alongside her sister Shagun Pannu and their entourage of close friends. The ceremony, which exuded a joyous ambience, featured the couple exchanging garlands amid cheer and music. Mathias Boe was seen wearing the Sikh turban.

The choice of Taapsee's traditional vermilion bridal suit while ditching the lehenga, and forgoing beige and pastel hues which celebrities off late have an affinity for, have garnered praise from fans. Fans on Instagram expressed their delight, with one commenter noting the rarity of seeing a celebrity bride in such a classic ensemble, while another highlighted the whimsical touch of Mathias arriving on a bicycle.

News of Taapsee and Mathias' wedding initially broke in early March, with reports suggesting an intimate affair being held in Udaipur. Earlier reports had also hinted at a grand celebration blending Sikh and Christian traditions.

On the work front, Taapsee Pannu will be next seen in Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba and Khel Khel Mein.
