Bollywood weddings nowadays are all about exotic locations, pastel wedding ensembles and grand entrances. There is this running joke on social media where people claim that all celebrity wedding pictures look exactly the same nowadays. Even the wedding videos for that matter!
However, Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram’s wedding turned out to be completely different. The two love birds tied the knot in a traditional Meitei wedding in Imphal, Manipur, recently and it was a breath of fresh air to watch the visuals from their ceremony.

Several people online have been lauding the couple for ditching the stereotypical Bollywood wedding aesthetic and going for a more traditional and rooted celebration of their union. Here’s what some of them have been saying:
A beautiful wedding video from #Manipur.
No choreographer.
No pastel colours.
No copying same steps.
