The sanctity of matrimony coupled with an invitation to a momentous religious event marks a new chapter for Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda and his wife, actress Lin Laishram. The couple, who recently exchanged wedding vows, is now set to witness the consecration ceremony of the Ram Mandir, sharing their joy with fans and followers.
Taking to Instagram, Randeep Hooda expressed his elation over the honor of being part of such a significant occasion. As the invitation cards fill up the mailboxes of the elite, Hooda and Laishram find themselves among a prestigious roster set to experience the historical and spiritual grandeur of the ceremony slated to begin on January 16th, culminating in the installation of the Ram Lalla idol within the temple’s hallowed confines.
This list is expansive, featuring an array of dignitaries extending from prominent political figures to the glittering stars of the cricket and film worlds. Alongside Hooda and Laishram, luminaries such as Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have also been graciously invited. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh, through his channels, disclosed these details, bringing the public into the fold of this upcoming event.
The Bollywood contingent boasts an impressive bandwidth of fame and talent, featuring the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut, Anupam Kher, and Madhuri Dixit. Filmmakers Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Rajkumar Hirani, and Madhur Bhandarkar will also bring their creative visions to this occasion, accompanied by actors such as Sunny Deol, Tiger Shroff, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Ajay Devgn. Not to be overshadowed, the southern stars stand tall with Rajinikanth, Prabhas, Chiranjeevi, and Mohanlal, among others, gracing the list as revered guests.
A nod to the past comes with the confirmation from Dipika Chikhilia, who portrayed Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s storied television series ‘Ramayan.’ Invited alongside her co-star Arun Govil, Chikhilia shared her perspectives regarding the invite: “Yes, we have been invited to Ayodhya on January 22. It will be something magical and a historic moment… I have always said that I am very blessed that I could play Sita ji in Ramayan.” Her remarks touch upon the timelessness of her role and the existential blend of life and art, as she urges the populace to see the date of the ceremony as paralleling the celebratory fervor one associates with Diwali.
The Ram Mandir, sprawling over 70 acres, is a monumental symbol of devotion and spirituality, promising to open its doors wide to the faithful and curious alike following the “pran pratishtha” to be performed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 22.
Indeed, as Hooda and Laishram get ready to join their fellow invitees in Ayodhya, they, along with a nation, await an event steeped in cultural, religious, and national sentiment. This occasion not only celebrates the deities and scriptures held dear but also the diverse tapestry of India’s society—where film stars and politicians, cricketers and commoners, converge under the banner of faith and festivity.
This celebration in Ayodhya, while epitomizing the flourishing Hindu heritage, transcends mere religion, illustrating India’s collective reverence for its epics and the characters therein. Dipika Chikhilia’s reflections on her portrayal of Sita resonate with generations that grew up with these televised epics, and now, they bear witness to another historic episode unfolding at the dawn of 2024.
As anticipation builds for the ceremony, with its promises of divinity and grandeur, the nation looks on with reverence. A new page in the annals of India’s cultural legacy is set to be written, and Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram will be among those fortunate enough to inscribe their presence on it.
