Actor Randeep Hooda from Bollywood and model-actor Lin Laishram recently tied the knot in a traditional Meitei wedding ceremony in Imphal, showcasing a touching blend of cultures. Held in the Chumthang Shannapung resort, the charming ceremony demonstrated the couple’s dedication to respecting one another’s customs.
Randeep Hooda wore traditional groom’s clothing during the wedding, which was a stunning fusion of Manipuri traditions and Bollywood glitz. Surrounded by his family and wearing a flawless white outfit, Randeep exuded the charm of a groom from Manipur. The gorgeous bride Lin Laishram, wearing a Potloi or Polloi, a cylindrical skirt embellished with rich fabrics, bamboo, and other ornaments, added even more delight to the festive event.
The couple’s travels to the Sendra Tourist Resort and the Relief Camp in Moirang Lamkhai, along with their families, were heartwarming before the wedding. Their actions revealed not just their devotion to one another but also their shared ideals of kindness and involvement in the community.
Randeep Hooda conveyed his enthusiasm for immersing himself in the Manipuri customs during a media engagement. He expressed his respect for the bride’s tradition and his enthusiasm to take part in the special ceremonies, despite the fact that he was aware that some would call for patience.
“I hope I don’t make any mistakes,” Randeep joked, realizing that several traditions were strange to him. The performer conveyed his excitement for the event and the chance to fully embrace Lin’s cultural background. According to his description, their journey is similar to a “east meets west” cultural interchange, turning their long-lasting friendship into a family relationship.
Lin Laishram also recounted brief details of their romance, including their first encounter at Naseeruddin Shah’s theater company, Motley. Lin called their relationship’s development from being friends in the theater to being life partners a “beautiful journey.”
On November 29, they announced on Instagram that they were getting married in Imphal, which sparked a lot of excitement.
The news drew similarities between Arjuna’s cross-cultural marriage to Manipuri Warrior Princess Chitrangada and the Mahabharata.
Though they had previously kept their romance quiet, Randeep and Lin have periodically posted peeks of their love on social media. The pair shared happy pictures on social media during Diwali, wishing everyone a happy season. Rumors were further stoked by Lin’s August birthday wish for Randeep. In October, Randeep officially announced their relationship on Instagram by sharing Diwali celebrations with both families.
