Bollywood star Taapsee who just caused a stir on the internet earlier this year, when she chose to get married with her longtime beau and former badminton player, Mathias Boe in a completely hushed-up ceremony, has lately been spotted recalling her beautiful love journey with Mathias while opening up regarding the comfort and maturity she felt when they started dating.

In the interview with Cosmopolitan India, Taapsee said that she has a soft spot for athletes and added, “It was not like a love-at-first-sight situation, for me at least, I took time to test if it’s really practical. The feasibility of the relationship was important for me. I was obviously fond of him and respected him, and we kept meeting and I grew to love him. So falling in love didn’t happen in a month or instantly. It is a fact though, which I keep repeating in most interviews about him—when I met him I felt like I met a man."

She also said, "I had dated so many boys before him, and suddenly, I met a guy who didn’t feel like anyone I’d been with before. So there’s this sudden sense of security and maturity, which was so evident that I felt like ‘Okay, you’ve finally found the man’.”

How close-knit you are as a family is something that similar between Scandinavians and us, I feel. And what is different culturally is how amazingly independent kids are over there. I have so many nieces and nephews and I see how wholesome and complete their personalities are. I can see them being confident at such a young age. They become independent early on and in life that sense of responsibility is so nicely transferred without feeling the pressure to perform, which is very different.
