Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram will get married today
Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram will get married today in an intimate ceremony in Imphal, Manipur - Lin's hometown. The couple, who often share pictures together on their respective social media handles, never talked about their relationship in public before announcing their marriage a couple of days back. Ahead of their wedding, the bride-to-be shared how they first met and Randeep Hooda talked about how he is excited for his Manipuri wedding with ANI. Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram were pictured together offering prayers at a Manipur temple on Tuesday.
Speaking of getting married by following Manipuri tradition, Randeep Hooda told ANI, "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 is really excited about embracing Lin's culture and he is looking forward to performing all the rituals with sincerity. He said, "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."
