Model-actor-entrepreneur Lin Laishram is set to explore uncharted territory in her upcoming film Bun Tikki, produced by noted designer-turned-producer Manish Malhotra. In this project, Laishram steps into a negative role for the first time. 

Talking about the experience of working on the movie, Laishram shares, “Manish kept saying, ‘I can’t believe you are doing this between your wedding!’ He was so supportive, and the team was incredibly nice to me.” 

Laishram tied the knot with actor Randeep Hooda on November 29, 2023, in an intimate ceremony, but her schedule was anything but quiet. The actor shuttled between Mumbai and Delhi during the shoot, fitting in her nuptials and wedding reception between film commitments.

Reflecting on how she managed it all, Laishram says, “Bolte hain na, universe deta hai toh chhapad phaad ke, it was something like that. As an actor who has gotten work sparingly in this industry, I didn’t want to turn this opportunity down. Randeep told me, ‘You have to do it’. I kept going back to him, wondering if I could pull it off, and he always said, ‘You can do anything, be anything.’ All that energy has turned out to be very beautiful.”  

While the release date of the film, which also features industry legends like Shabana Azmi and Zeenat Aman, is yet to be announced, Laishram is confident it will be a defining moment in her career. “It is one project I am very proud of,” ends the actor, who made her Hindi film debut in 2007 with Om Shanti Om.
