Taapsee Pannu not pleased with media attention around her personal life

For celebrities, it is almost impossible to keep their personal life private and away from the prying eyes of the media. Having said that, there are certain celebs who have proved to be an exception and manage to keep their personal life away from the invasion of the media.

The award-winning actress Taapsee Pannu also loves to talk about her professional life more than her personal life. When it comes to her private life, she is strictly guarded and choses to keep mum. But her experience turned sour after she noticed that a news outlet, which interviewed her recently, only focussed on her personal life and did stories around it.


“I don’t like to talk about my personal life. Our media highlights that over everything else a person achieves. 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,” said the actress.

The interview in question was conducted for Mother’s Day, but the published version centred more on her relationship with sportsperson Mathias Boe. “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 the draw line.”, she concluded.

On the work front, Taapsee Pannu has her plate full with some high-profile projects, including Haseen Dilruba, Rashmi Rocket, Shabaash Mithu, Looop Lapeta and an untitled film with director Anurag Kashyap.
