At 49, a celebrated Bollywood star is preparing to embrace fatherhood, and fans are delighted by the unexpected yet heartwarming announcement.

The super amazing news comes two years after he got married to his longtime partner, whom he started dating during the lockdown.

By now, you must have figured out the actor’s name. Still not there? Let us break the name for you. He is none other than Randeep Hooda.

Randeep and Lin Laishram met at Naseeruddin Shah’s theatre group Motley and eventually fell in love.

The lovebirds made their relationship Instagram official in 2022 and a year later, got married in a traditional Meitei ceremony in Imphal, Manipur.

On Saturday, Randeep and Lin Laishram shared a picture of themselves sitting by a campfire in the forest. They wrote, “Two years of love, adventure, and now… a little wild one on the way.”

When not acting in front of the camera, Hooda loves riding horses and taming his precious stallions, even carving his identity as a national-level horse-riding champion.

He learnt horse riding during his childhood and fell in love with the blue-blooded sport. Hooda bought his first horse when he came to Bombay.

His equestrian skills earned him numerous accolades and medals. The discipline even translated into his intense acting style.

Initially, he built a strong academic foundation, completing an MBA in Human Resources from an Australian university.

Not to miss his incredible acting skills. Watch the films like Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, Jannat 2 and Sarbjit for proof.

As he steps into fatherhood at 49, here we congratulate the couple for the new chapter of their lives.
