What Taapsee said
In the interview, 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.”
More details
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’.”
