Actors Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram have tied the knot in a traditional Meitei wedding ceremony in Imphal on Wednesday.
Randeep dressed in white, looked like a beautiful Manipuri groom as he was surrounded by his family and relatives. Another video from the wedding ceremony has Lin dressed as a traditional Manipuri bride.
Randeep was spotted wearing a white shawl. Lin was dressed in a potloi or polloi, a cylindrical skirt made up of thick cloth and bamboo. It is ornamented with satin and velvet material, as well as gems and glitter.
Randeep added, “I hope I don’t make any mistakes. And we have been talking about their culture, Manipuri culture and all that for a long time. I am looking forward to it and hope that all goes well. I am praying for our happy future and lots of kids and lots of abundance. Yes, it’s east meets west. It’s like a traditional or cultural exchange. We have been friends for a very long time. We met when we were in the theatre. Since then, we have had a great friendship, which we are now making into a family.”
Lin Laishram also shared a story about how it all started with Randeep Hooda. She stated, “We actually met at Naseeruddin Shah’s theatre group called Motley and he was my senior. That’s where I met him. We were friends and it’s turning into a beautiful journey.”
A few days ago, Randeep took to Instagram and announced that they would marry in Imphal on November 29. He wrote in the caption, “We Have Exciting News.”
