Taapsee Pannu, known for her thoughtful approach towards social causes, quietly tied the knot with her long-time partner, Mathias Boe, in Udaipur in March 2024. While most Bollywood weddings are accompanied by public fanfare, Taapsee kept her wedding completely under wraps, opting for an intimate celebration with close family and friends.

As the couple prepares to mark their first anniversary, a meaningful detail about their wedding has come to light - one that speaks about Taapsee’s personal values and her long-standing support for education initiatives. Instead of requesting traditional wedding gifts, Taapsee and Mathias chose to ask their guests to contribute to Project Nanhi Kali, an initiative that the actor has been supporting for over five years. Project Nanhi Kali focuses on providing educational opportunities for underprivileged girls in India.

RJ Abhilash, a close friend of the actor, shared the detail during a conversation, noting the significance of this gesture. “We all know the girls supported by Taapsee as Taapsee ke bacche because that’s how she introduces them… always excitedly sharing their milestones and celebrating them as her personal victories. From where I stand, Taapsee and Boe perhaps have access to the choicest of things across the globe. So, I am glad that instead of a regular wedding gift, we were able to make the girls at Nanhi Kali feel included in their wedding celebrations and contribute our bit to their vision. Nothing else would have matched up!”

Sheetal Mehta, Trustee and Executive Director of K.C. Mahindra Education Trust (which oversees Project Nanhi Kali) praised the couple’s gesture and added, “Taapsee and Mathias's commitment to girls' education with Project Nanhi Kali reflects the power of consistent, meaningful action. Since 2020, her support for 100 young girls has created ripples of change - representing not just access to quality education but the freedom to dream bigger. What makes Taapsee's involvement special is her understanding that real change happens when we show up, stay engaged, and keep believing in every girl's potential”.

For over five years, Taapsee has funded the education of 100 girls through Project Nanhi Kali. Her recent wedding gesture further reinforces her commitment to making a difference in the lives of these young girls, prioritizing long-term social impact over traditional celebrations.
