Temple Visit in Imphal
Randeep and Lin paid a visit to an Imphal temple on Tuesday. Lin captioned the Instagram photo with a long message in her native language that read: "To the Great Lord Marjing's abode, who is shining in the Golden Land Kanglei, we who had come far away from other places had prayed and worshipped you, and in the process, if we had committed any mistake unknowingly, please forgive us as your own children. And we seek our blessings from you by showering you with all the happiness and endless wealth in our newly married life. And my life partner being from a different community, he might have missed what to say and what to do and also might have said or committed mistakes without knowing the ascent of Kangleirol. We seek our forgiveness from all the people of Kangleipak and do hereby pray at the feet of Great Lord Marjing and show our due respect to all. Hail to Meitei Land, Kangleipak Manipur."
The happy couple and their loved ones went to Sendra Tourist Resort and Relief Camp in Moirang Lamkhai.
From Friendship to Family
While speaking with a member of the media, Randeep shared details of his romance with Lin and his anticipation of immersing himself in Manipuri culture. The actor said it feels great. He thought it was only right to attend the wedding in the bride's cultural setting. Randeep is expecting the ceremony and rituals to be beautiful, even though he has heard that the man in a Meitei love marriage needs to sit for a long time. A taste of his life partner's heritage would be wonderful, and he is here for that reason.
Randeep prays he doesn't fumble anything. Plus, they have spent a considerable amount of time discussing their culture, namely Manipuri culture. He hopes it will be a success and is eagerly anticipating it. The actor added that their future may be filled with joy, progeny, and prosperity. It is, in fact, a meeting of eastern and western elements and an exchange of customs or cultures.
Randeep added that their friendship goes back many years. They crossed paths in the theatre, and their friendship has blossomed into a family in the time since then.
Lin Laishram also recounted how she met Randeep Hooda. The two of them actually crossed paths at Naseeruddin Shah's Motley theatre group, where he was her senior, she said. Lin encountered Randeep there. Their friendship has blossomed into a magnificent journey.
