Speaking of getting married by following Manipuri tradition, Randeep Hooda said, "It feels very good. I felt that it's only respectful to come and marry in the bride's tradition.
Though I have heard that in Meitei love marriages, the groom has to sit for a very long time. So, that's something but I am looking forward to the ceremony and traditions.
I want to experience my life partner's culture. That's why I am here."
Randeep was looking forward to performing all the rituals with sincerity.
He said, "I hope I don't make any mistakes. And we have been talking about their culture, Manipuri culture and all that for a long time.
I am really looking forward to it and hope that all goes well. I am praying for our happy future and lots of kids and lots of abundance.
Yes, it's east meets west. It's like a traditional or cultural exchange."
