Actor Randeep Hooda and his wife Lin Laishram have stepped into a new chapter of their lives with the arrival of their first child — a baby girl. The couple announced the joyous news on social media, sharing that both mother and daughter are healthy and doing well.
Randeep Hooda’s Heartfelt Post
Interestingly, the newborn shares her birthday with Randeep Hooda’s father, Ranbir Hooda. This coincidence turned the day into a double celebration for the family. Randeep expressed his emotions in a heartfelt post, writing, “Today, as I become a father, my appreciation for you has only grown deeper, Papa. And most importantly – Lin, thank you for making me a father and for bringing our little girl into this world. A little girl and a lifetime of love.”
The actor also shared touching photographs. In one, Ranbir Hooda is seen holding his granddaughter with a wide smile. Another picture captures the tiny hand of the baby girl, symbolizing the family’s new beginning.
The announcement quickly drew congratulatory messages from fans and fellow celebrities. The warmth in the comments reflected the excitement surrounding the couple’s milestone. With the granddaughter’s birthday coinciding with her grandfather’s, the Hooda household now has an even more meaningful family tradition to cherish.
A Glimpse of Parenthood
Just a day before the announcement, Randeep and Lin Laishram shared intimate maternity photographs. The shoot blended monochrome and color portraits, creating a cinematic feel. Lin, dressed in a simple white knit outfit with a cardigan, radiated pregnancy glow. Randeep stood close beside her, dressed in understated casual wear, holding her gently and smiling warmly.
Some pictures captured the couple embracing near a sunlit window, while others showed them sitting together in quiet reflection. The styling remained minimal, ensuring the focus stayed on their emotional bond and anticipation of parenthood.
Their Journey Together
Randeep and Lin’s love story began in theatre circles, particularly through Naseeruddin Shah’s Motley group. Their friendship gradually blossomed into romance, and during the lockdown, they started living together. Eventually, they tied the knot on November 29, 2023, in Imphal, Manipur, in a traditional Meitei ceremony attended by close family and friends.
In November 2025, the couple announced their pregnancy with a heartfelt post. Randeep shared a photograph of the two sitting near a bonfire, hands pressed together, captioned with, “Two years of love, adventure, and now… a little wild one on the way.”
Now, with the arrival of their daughter, Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram have embraced parenthood with gratitude and joy. Their journey — from theatre companions to life partners, and now parents — reflects love, patience, and shared dreams.
The Hooda family’s celebration is not just about welcoming a newborn but also about honoring the bond across generations. With Ranbir Hooda and his granddaughter sharing a birthday, the family has been gifted with a memory that will remain timeless.
