After showing support for her husband Mathias Boe at the Paris Olympics 2024, actor Taapsee Pannu has now reacted to his retirement announcement. Mathias, who was the coach of Indian badminton players Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, announced his retirement following the badminton pair’s exit from the ongoing Olympics in Paris. Taapsee left a witty and humorous comment on her husband’s emotional post, demanding that he prepare dinner now that he is retired.
Mathias Boe took to Instagram to share an emotional note for the players, consoling them for not winning a medal at the Olympics but also lauding them for battling through their injuries and showing passion and dedication towards the sport. Announcing his retirement, he wrote, “For me, my coaching days ends here, I’m not Going to continue in India or anywhere else, for now at least. I have spend too much time in a badminton hall and it’s also pretty stressful to be a coach, I’m a tired old man😜 I want to thank @media.iccsai , Garg Sir and Rakesh Sir, @bai_media , @gosportsvoices for the support over the years 🙏🏻🇮🇳. Also a huge shout out to all my colleagues in Indian Badminton. Thank you for a lot of good memories and I wish you all the best. Jai Hind❤️🇮🇳😊.”
While Mathias Boe shared an emotionally heavy post, Taapsee tried to cheer him up by posting a goofy comment about him doing the house chores. She wrote, “😢 But also now u r a married man. U need to take a step back. I need to come back home from work everyday to ready dinner and cleaning in order. So chop chop! ❤️.”
Taapsee and Mathias dated for over a decade before tying the knot in March 2024. In an earlier interview with Zoom, Taapsee opened up about her relationship and shared why she stayed with the same person throughout the years. “I had to kiss many frogs before I reached the prince. But eventually when I grew up and when I started working, it’s been the same man and that’s because he’s a man, he’s not a boy. And that is a huge difference,” she said.
The Dunki actor called Mathias ‘secure’ and said, “And I knew that when I was single before that, I was sure that only a man would have the sense of security to be with me. And I don’t even want to short sell myself because it’s too much of an emotional investment. And it will not just affect me, it will affect my family, it’ll affect everyone, it’ll affect my day-to-day job. I don’t want to do that with myself and my work and my mental status. I know I want to be with a man and not a boy.”
