Randeep Hooda on his wife Lin Laishram’s passion for cooking and turning entrepreneur

Randeep Hooda is more than just a supportive husband — he’s been the driving force behind his wife Lin Laishram’s many passions, one of them being cooking. Lin, who hails from Manipur, always dreamed of bringing the taste of her local cuisine to people in Mumbai. It was Randeep who encouraged her to follow that dream.

When we spoke to Randeep about it, he said, “Lin always had a passion for cooking and she makes amazing food. During the lockdown, she surprised me with some delicious dishes, and that’s when I realised how talented she is in the art of cooking. I kept encouraging her to take it seriously. Finally, she started her own venture and it’s made me really proud. I would call it a journey of passion, perseverance and growth.”



Lin, who’s also an actress, has featured in films like Om Shanti Om, Mary Kom, Rangoon and Axone. When asked if she has taken a break from acting, she said, “Not at all. Cooking brings me joy. I like serving others, it feels like a heartfelt offering. Acting, on the other hand, is deeply personal and I feel grateful to have the freedom to pursue both.”
