Randeep Hooda, Lin Laishram welcome first child Actor Randeep Hooda and his wife, actor-entrepreneur Lin Laishram, have announced the birth of their first child, a baby girl. The couple shared a collaborative post on their respective Instagram accounts on Tuesday, featuring images of Hooda’s father holding the newborn and a close-up of the child’s hand. The baby was born on the same day as Hooda’s father, a detail highlighted in the caption of their post. The message expressed gratitude to Hooda’s father for his role in the child’s arrival and thanked Lin for bringing their daughter into the world. The couple’s announcement included a heartfelt caption: “Happy birthday to grandfather and granddaughter. Today, as I become a father, my appreciation for you has only grown deeper, Papa. And most importantly - Lin, thank you for making me a father and for bringing our little girl into this world. A little girl, and a lifetime of love.” The post also included a link to the Instagram post, which was shared by Randeep Hooda under his account. Hooda, known for his roles in films such as Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, Rang Rasiya, Highway, and Sarbjit, had been in a long-term relationship with Laishram before they publicly confirmed their engagement on Instagram in 2022. The couple married in 2023 in Chumthang Sanapung, a location in Imphal, following a ceremony rooted in traditional Meitei rituals. The wedding ceremony involved the bride circling the seated groom seven times in a dignified manner, a symbolic gesture of respect and unity. The couple also exchanged floral garlands made from Jasmine flowers, known as kundo, while guests cheered in celebration. The event marked a significant cultural moment, blending modernity with traditional practices.#lin_laishram #rundeep_hooda #chumthang_sanapung #imphal #meitei_rituals
