There has been a constant debate around the topic of opting for special treatment, quick movement, and exclusive darshan at religious places, while the common public spends hours at a stretch standing in a queue. Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram, who have been actively contributing to society and making moves in the direction of environmental conservation, made an exception to the VIP privileges and joined the common crowd to seek Bappa's darshan. The video from the visit on Friday afternoon has been making rounds on the internet with the common public complimenting and appreciating the humble gesture of the couple.
Lalbaugcha Raja, known for its grandeur, continues to be a central attraction during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. The iconic Ganesh idol, showcased by the Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, draws thousands of devotees seeking divine blessings. This year, the first look of the Ganesh idol was revealed on September 5, setting the stage for one of Mumbai's most eagerly awaited festivals. The Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, located at Putlabai Chawl and established in 1934, has been a revered site for over 80 years. The Kambli family, who have managed the idol and its celebrations for decades, continue to uphold its significant tradition.
Randeep and Lin exchanged vows on November 29, 2023, in Manipur. Their wedding was performed in traditional Meitei rituals. The duo reportedly fell in love during their theatre days.
Talking about their work front, Lin made her Bollywood debut in 2007 with the film 'Om Shanti Om' in which she gave a cameo appearance as Om Kapoor's friend.
