Randeep Hooda feels that his marriage to actor and model Lin Laishram has significantly improved his life, making him calmer and healthier. The couple, who initially met on the set of a play, tied the knot in a traditional Manipuri Meitei ceremony in Manipur in November 2023. Hooda, who is 48, shared that the COVID-19 pandemic brought them closer together, revealing, “During Covid, she made me so many dishes. I went crazy. I am not even a foodie,” during a joint appearance with Lin on Curly Tales.
Before meeting Lin, Randeep Hooda had largely given up on the idea of marriage, stating, “Everybody had given up on my marriage plans. I did too.” However, he describes his decision to marry Lin as the best choice he has made, saying, “It has been a great decision to get married to her. She has calmed me down.” Hooda noted positive changes in his daily routine, mentioning that he now eats healthier and has adjusted his sleeping pattern. “The time I used to sleep is now my wake up time,” he explained, highlighting the transformation that has occurred since they wed.
Psychiatrist Dr. Santosh Bangar, from Gleneagles Hospitals Parel, Mumbai, emphasized the positive effects of a supportive partner. “Being assured there is someone by your side lends a sense of peace and stability,” Dr. Bangar stated. He elaborated that empathy and understanding within a relationship can inspire individuals to improve themselves. Effective communication, mutual respect, and fostering a secure environment are essential for developing deep connections that encourage personal growth.
However, Dr. Bangar also warned against the dangers of excessive pressure to conform within relationships. He recommended seeking professional guidance for those facing relationship challenges, suggesting that expert advice can address underlying issues and foster a healthier connection. As Hooda navigates this new chapter with Lin, his journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of love and support in one’s life.
