An interview on a gossipy website meant to spotlight Tapsee Pannu’s rapport with her mother, has ended up making headlines for reasons other than a Mother’s Day message.

Apparently while being interviewed with her mother, Taapsee was coaxed by the portal to speak about her relationship with her boyfriend Danish badminton player Mathias Boe. Though she did not mention her beau Boe by name, her relationship with him,sadly became the highlight of the Mother’s Day Interview.

Tapsee regrets talking about her personal life. “I don’t like to talk about my personal life. Our media highlights that over everything else a person achieves.”

Not that Tapsee doesn’t give equal importance to her personal and professional life. “My personal life has the rightful place it deserves. My personal life has always been equally important as my professional. But I don’t like to discuss work at home and home at work. And this interview proved me right.”

Tapsee doesn’t appreciate how a Mother’s Day interview was converted into an expose of her love life. “My mother and I spoke with the interviewer for Mother’s Day and instead of highlighting my bonding with my mother, they highlighted my relationship. That proves never to let your personal life be exposed to people who don’t know where to draw line.”

Tapsee says she is now looking forward to the end of the lockdown. “I was doing fine at home so far. But since May started I have been getting the urge to go out. The one really good part of the lockdown is that I’m getting to spend time with my parents and my sister Shagun.”
