Are Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram expecting their first child? Netizens think they are 'pregnant' after festive post

Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram’s Diwali photos have set the internet abuzz, with many wondering if the couple is expecting their first child. The actors, who tied the knot in a traditional Manipuri Meitei wedding in November 2023, shared warm glimpses of their festive celebrations that left fans both congratulating and speculating.

The photos posted by Randeep showed the couple celebrating Diwali with family. He wore an onion-pink kurta with white pyjama, while Lin looked radiant in a matching saree, holding diyas and smiling beside him. Other images in the carousel captured their loved ones, festive food, and a framed photo of Goddess Laxmi.

The comment section, however, quickly shifted from Diwali greetings to pregnancy chatter. One user wrote, “I think both of them are going to be parents very soon,” while another added, “So no one noticed? I think there’s good news coming.” Neither Randeep nor Lin has addressed the speculation yet, but the photos have been shared widely across fan pages with captions like “Randeep Hooda and Lin’s glowing look says it all.”

This isn’t the first time Randeep has spoken about fatherhood. Back in 2019, he told Hindustan Times that he had considered becoming a parent through surrogacy. “I’ve always loved children and wanted to be a father someday,” he said at the time. The quote has now resurfaced online, adding fuel to the latest round of rumors.

Randeep and Lin’s relationship began years ago at Naseeruddin Shah’s theatre group, Motley, where Lin was a newcomer and Randeep was already a senior member. The two met while working on the play Arms and the Man and developed a friendship that deepened during the pandemic lockdown, when they began living together. They went public with their relationship in 2022 and married the following year in Imphal, embracing Lin’s Manipuri roots.

On the work front, Randeep has a packed slate. He’ll next be seen in Operation Khukri, followed by Pachhattar Ka Chhora and the Hollywood action-thriller Matchbox, co-starring John Cena. His last appearance was in O Romeo and Jaat, which released in April 2025 alongside Sunny Deol.
