Actor Randeep Hooda visited the Mahalaxmi Temple, also known as the Ambabai Temple, to seek divine blessings before embracing parenthood and completing his film “Eetha” with Shraddha Kapoor. Currently filming the final part of “Eetha” alongside Shraddha, Randeep paused from his shooting schedule to offer prayers to Goddess Mahalakshmi. A close source mentioned that this period is significant for Randeep as he wraps up a crucial film and prepares to become a father, a role that deeply moves and excites him.
The Mahalakshmi Temple, revered as Ambabai by locals, is devoted to Goddess Mahalakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu. Hindus traditionally visit the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, the Kolhapur Mahalakshmi Temple, and the Padmavathi Temple as part of a pilgrimage, believing that such visits aid in attaining salvation. “Eetha,” directed by Laxman Utekar, narrates the story of one of India’s earliest Tamasha/Lavni dancers, presenting a culturally rich and potent narrative.
Randeep Hooda and his wife Lin Laishram are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first child, as announced on Instagram on November 29. The couple, who first met at Naseeruddin Shah’s theatre group Motley, publicly declared their relationship in 2022 and tied the knot in a traditional Meitei ceremony in Manipur on November 29, 2023. Randeep is also set to appear in the war drama “Operation Khukri,” having acquired the official movie rights to “Operation Khukri: The Untold Story of the Indian Army’s Bravest Peacekeeping Mission Abroad” by Major General Rajpal Punia and Damini Punia.
