Actor Taapsee Pannu has been extremely private about her personal life. So much so, that even after three years of her marriage to retired Danish professional badminton player and elite coach Mathias Boe, the actor has shared very little about her wedding or posted any pictures from her big day. In a recent chat with Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, the actor opened up about their long term relationship and how both of them have immense respect for one another.

What Taapsee said
When the actor was asked about being so secure about her relationship and dating Mathias for so many years before marriage, Taapsee spoke about how it all began and how much she values it in her life. She said, “The same year I debuted in Bollywood is when I started dating him. And I have held him close to me for all these years. Because I don’t think I can do any better. I think this is the best decision I have made in my life. Because, your family is what God has given to you… my profession was also not by purely choice, it was by co-incidence. So, this was my choice! I am so proud of it.”
She went on to add, “We have been together for 13 years… There is extreme sense of security. Most importantly, immense respect for each other. Immense. Love comes after that. If the base of a relationship is not respect then that relationship won’t last for a very long time. In the film industry itself I see a lot of colleagues who want to find love regardless of whatever profession… but it is hard, and it is getting harder. I am not sure why, do we value temporary happiness more? I had a totally opposite experience.”
