Randeep Hooda marries Lin Laishram in traditional Meitei ceremony

Taking to their Instagram accounts on Wednesday night, the newlyweds Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram made a joint post, sharing the first pictures of themselves from the ceremony, which took place in Imphal, the capital city of the north-eastern state of Manipur in India, as per the Meitei traditions, on the social platform.

“From today, we are One,” read the caption on the five-picture gallery with a mini heart and infinity emoji. The couple also added the hashtag ‘just married’ in their post, which was liked by thousands of social users and a number of them extended their heartfelt wishes for the newlyweds for this new phase of life.H

Hooda, who first met Laishram during a theatre practice, said ahead of their wedding, “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.”

The ‘Highway’ actor continued, “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 hope I don’t make any mistakes.”
