Randeep Hooda Reveals He Was Given A Bowl To Pee During His Wedding With Lin

Mumbai: Bollywood actors Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram tied the knot in a traditional Meitei wedding ceremony in Manipur in 2023. The couple shared some adorable pictures from the wedding on social media. Now, in an interview Randeep talked about the wedding ceremonies, which he experienced for the first time and recalled how there was a lot of drama at his wedding.

Describing the wedding day, Randeep said the rituals were far more intense and detailed than anything he had experienced before. “I had a helper, sort of like a cultural tutor, who guided me through it. At one point, I had to wear a headpiece and keep my posture absolutely straight for two hours while everyone came to look at me like I was god," he recalled. “I even asked about a bowl they handed me, and the helper said it was in case I had to pee. And helper said , you can’t move because you’re god."

Lin too had a mentor helping her through the customs. “She got scolded for smiling during the ceremony," Randeep laughed. “They’d send messengers telling her to stop smiling! It was all so meticulously choreographed." Reflecting on the cultural differences, he added, “Haryana is rough and raw, while Manipur is structured and refined. But both states produce champions be it boxers or brides."

Despite the solemnity of the rituals, the wedding was not without some action-movie drama. As soon as the pheras concluded, celebratory gunfire erupted. “Hundreds of AK-47s went off in the air," Randeep said, describing the surreal mix of love and civil unrest.
