Taapsee Pannu and husband Mathias Boe split time between mumbai and Denmark.
Their home is a large Danish house built in 1907, full of historical significance.
They aimed to restore the house while preserving its vintage charm.
Retained original vintage furniture, lamps, chandeliers, and paintings from previous owners.
High labor and transportation costs in denmark make preserving original items valuable.
Added new elements like Indian paintings, travel collections, a new staircase, and extra bathrooms.
Blending indian Traditions with Danish Lifestyle
Mathias’s father, a former architect, helped with home décor decisions.
Indian tradition of multi-generational living brought into the home: Mathias’s parents live with them on the ground floor.
This arrangement is unusual in Danish culture but important to Taapsee, providing a feeling of home and family connection.
Interior décor is a collaborative effort; Taapsee has major input, but decisions are discussed with everyone.
Managing Life Between india and Denmark
Work schedule dictates their living patterns, with most shoots in india during winter (ideal shooting season).
They spend summers in Denmark when it’s the Danish peak season, returning to india when the rains subside.
Denmark offers a lifestyle centered around self-reliance: cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and repairs are all DIY.
Taapsee enjoys Denmark’s fresh air and active lifestyle but appreciates the support system available in India.
Staying Connected to indian Roots
Taapsee maintains indian cuisine habits even while in Denmark—breakfasts like chila and upma, and traditional meals throughout the day.
Loves celebrating indian festivals with rituals like lighting diyas and drawing rangoli.
These customs, though intangible, help her feel at home amidst a foreign culture.
