From Theatre Meet to Marriage: The Journey of Ranbir Hooda and Lin Lashram

Ranbir Hooda and Lin Lashram’s romance began on the stage of veteran actor Nasiruddin Shah’s theatre troupe, Motle. Their first encounter in the rehearsal room sparked a friendship that soon blossomed into love. During the nationwide lockdown of the COVID‑19 pandemic, the pair chose to live together, deepening their connection.
