Taapsee Pannu 'took time to test' compatibility
In the interview, Taapsee Pannu mentioned 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."
"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 âokay, you've finally found the man'." She added.
