In a heartwarming double celebration, Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda and his wife, actress Lin Laishram, have announced that they are expecting their first child. The exciting news was shared by the couple on social media, coinciding with their second wedding anniversary, sending fans and friends into a frenzy of congratulations.
A Joyful Double Celebration
The couple marked the special occasion of their second wedding anniversary on Saturday, November 29, 2025, by sharing their pregnancy news with the world. They posted a warm and intimate picture on Instagram, captioning it with a message filled with love and anticipation: “Two years of love, adventure, and now… a little wild one on the way.”
The announcement was met with an immediate and overwhelming wave of joy from their followers. The comments section was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages and well-wishes from fans and colleagues alike. One enthusiastic fan wrote, “Happy for you both. God Bless,” while another commented, “New chapter is going to be beautiful. Congratulations.” Actress Geetika Vidya Ohlyan expressed her shocked excitement with a simple “Whattttt?” to which Lin graciously replied, “Thank you for your love.”
From Co-stars to Life Partners
For those unfamiliar with their journey, Randeep and Lin's love story is one for the books. The couple first crossed paths at Motley, the renowned theatre group founded by veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah. Their professional acquaintance gradually blossomed into a deep romantic connection.
Their bond strengthened significantly during the COVID-19 lockdown, a period when they reportedly moved in together. In a previous interview, Randeep had fondly recalled how Lin's cooking brought them closer, stating, “Covid-19 brought us together even more. During Covid, she made me so many dishes. I went crazy. I am not even a foodie.” The couple made their relationship official on Instagram in 2022.
A New Chapter of Stability and Love
Randeep has been open about how marriage to Lin has positively transformed his life. He admitted that before meeting her, he and his family had nearly given up on the prospect of him ever getting married. “Everybody had given up on my marriage plans. I did too,” he confessed. He also acknowledged that he is the first man in his family to marry outside of his caste.
Reflecting on his life post-marriage, Randeep shared, “It has been a great decision to get married to her. She has calmed me down. I eat healthier. I have better hours. I don’t stay up all night. The time I used to sleep is now my wake-up time.” The couple formalized their union in a traditional Manipuri Meitei wedding ceremony in November 2023 in Lin's home state of Manipur.
On the professional front, Randeep Hooda was last seen in the movie Jaat, where he shared screen space with Sunny Deol. He is currently busy filming the American adventure-action film Matchbox, which also stars global superstar John Cena. As they await the arrival of their “little wild one,” this new chapter promises to be their most exciting adventure yet.
