INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Lin Laishram is a multifaceted Indian model, actress, and businesswoman, renowned for her engagement with Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda. Born in Manipur, Lin’s journey into the world of performance art began at a young age. Although she initially pursued her passion for dance by enrolling in a dance college, her parents encouraged her to focus on her education, a common narrative for many aspiring artists. Raised in a supportive environment, Lin’s father, a sportsman and the President of the Manipur Archery Association, fostered her love for sports, instilling in her a sense of determination and resilience that would later serve her well in the competitive realms of modeling and acting.
In 2008, Lin took her first major step toward fame by representing Manipur in the Miss North East pageant, where she proudly secured the title of first runner-up in an event held in Shillong. This milestone marked the beginning of her modeling career, which took a significant leap in 2006 when she moved to New York. There, she participated in various fashion shows, including the prestigious India Fashion Week and New York Bridal Week. By 2010, she had established herself as a print and fashion model, also serving as the brand ambassador for Ozoru Jewelry, a New York-based jewelry brand. Lin’s foray into theater began in 2011 when she joined the renowned theater group Motley, led by Naseeruddin Shah, alongside other prestigious ensembles, further honing her craft in the performing arts.
Lin Laishram made her film debut in 2007 with a cameo in the Hindi sport-drama film “Hattrick.” Since then, she has appeared in notable films, including “Mary Kom” (2014), where she played the role of Bem, and “Umrika” (2015) as Udai’s wife. Her versatility was showcased in “Rangoon” (2017) as Mema, and she played significant roles in “Qaidi Band” (2017) and “Axone” (2019) as Chanbi, contributing to important narratives about the northeastern region of India. In 2020, she participated in a candid discussion highlighting Bollywood’s bias against northeastern stories, emphasizing the need for greater representation and understanding of diverse cultures within the industry. Lin’s advocacy for inclusivity extended to her observations regarding the casting choices in Bollywood, where actors from the Northeast are often relegated to stereotyped roles.
In addition to her acting career, Lin launched her jewelry line, Shamooo Sana, in March 2017, driven by her mother’s encouragement after designing a pair of earrings for her. Her collection reflects her eclectic experiences and inspirations, embodying a contemporary style that is both affordable and playful. Lin remains committed to her craft, having recently appeared in the Amazon Prime Video series “Modern Love: Mumbai” as Avantika and the mystery thriller “Jaane Jaan” (2023), where she portrayed Prema Kami alongside Kareena Kapoor and Jaideep Ahlawat. As a woman of conviction, she has also publicly supported human rights activist Irom Sharmila, declaring her admiration and willingness to back her initiatives.
Despite her accomplishments, Lin’s journey has not been without its challenges, particularly in navigating Bollywood’s often rigid industry standards. She has expressed that while the fashion industry was more accepting of her, the film sector frequently pigeonholed her into specific roles, thus motivating her pursuit of substantial and meaningful work. Lin’s resilience and passion continue to drive her, as she strives to break down barriers and pave the way for others from her region, ensuring that the narratives of the northeastern states are told with authenticity and respect.
