Bollywood Stars Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram Co-Own Delhi's Archery Team Prithviraj Yodhas

In a significant move for the world of sports entrepreneurship, Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda and his wife, actor and former national-level archer Lin Laishram, have joined forces as the co-owners of the Prithviraj Yodhas, Delhi's franchise in the inaugural Archery Premier League (APL) set to take place from October 2 to 12, 2025.

For Lin Laishram, this venture is more than just a new business opportunity - it's a homecoming to the sport that shaped her childhood. Inspired by her father, who served as the President of the Archery Association (Manipur), Lin began her archery journey at the age of 10, competing in her first Sub-Junior Nationals and later honing her skills at the Tata Archery Academy, where she won multiple medals and the Junior National Championship in 1998. Though an injury forced her to step away from competitive archery, her passion for the sport never faded.

Randeep Hooda, co-owner of the Prithviraj Yodhas, expressed his excitement about this new venture, stating that owning a team with Lin is incredibly special. He believes that leagues like the APL can help expose young talent to international players and more competition, creating a larger talent pool to represent India internationally and win more competitions.
