Actor Taapsee Pannu ditched the promotions for her upcoming movies and jetted off to attend the 2024 Paris Olympics. She took to Instagram and offered her fans and followers a sneak peek from her first day. It was earlier reported that Taapsee would join her husband Mathias Boe, who is the coach of the Indian badminton team.
Taapsee wore a lime green saree, paired with a white top, a scarf, and sneakers. She walked around the premises where the games were held and also shared a video of herself holding the tricolour and rooting for the Indian team. “Day 1 of endless walking, Walking Paris’ prettiest street (coz that’s what Mindy says!) to walking from group stage to knockout stage. Time to call it a day!” the actor wrote on Instagram.
Taapsee’s sister Shagun Pannu also accompanied her on the trip.

Earlier, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Taapsee shared, “I don’t think I can go there in the capacity of an athlete. I first met Mathias when he had already come back from the Olympics after winning his medal (in 2012). And the next Olympics he took part in as an athlete, I didn’t want to attend because I get really stressed watching him play.”
She added, “Now that he is a coach for our country’s team, and Satvik and Chirag are probably one of the best contenders to bring an Olympic medal, I feel more motivated and excited to attend this one and cheer for them. Also, it falls around my birthday (August 1), so I guess these are enough and more reasons for me to be at the Olympics.”
Meanwhile, on the acting front, Taapsee can`t tamp down on her excitement as she is all set to enthrall fans with upcoming projects `Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba` and `Khel Khel Mein`.
`Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba` is a sequel to `Haseen Dilruba` and also stars Vikrant Massey, Sunny Kaushal, and Jimmy Shergill. It will release on August 9, on Netflix.
`Khel Khel Mein` features Akshay Kumar, Ammy Virk, Vaani Kapoor, Aditya Seal, Pragya Jaiswal, and Fardeen Khan. The comedy-drama will be out in theatres on August 15, 2024.
