Randeep Hooda spills the beans on his wedding

Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram’s wedding took at the Chumthang Shannapung resort in Imphal following a traditional Meitei wedding ceremony. In a chat with ANI prior to their wedding, the Jannat 2 actor spoke about the reason behind it. He said that Lin is from Manipuri and it was “respectful” to do the wedding in her tradition.

He explained, “It feels very good. I felt that it’s only respectful to come and marry in the bride’s tradition. Though I have heard that in Meitei love marriages, the groom has to sit for a very long time. So, that’s something but I am looking forward to the ceremony and traditions. I want to experience my life partner’s culture. That’s why I am here.”

Randeep further stated that he would embrace her traditions and would perform all the rituals with sincerity.  “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 really 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”, he added.

How did the two meet?

During the same conversation, Randeep said that he and Lin have known each other for a very long time and met when they were in theatre. Revealing the specifics, Lin shared that the two met at Naseeruddin Shah’s theatre group known as Motley where Randeep was her senior.
