Lin has worked with some of the most prestigious names in the glamour world including top designers like Tarun Tahiliani, Shantanu Goenka and Rohit Bal. She has strutted down the ramp at a lot of fashion shows like New York 2008, New York Bridal Week fashion show and Wills India Fashion Week!
This model and aspiring actress' first stint in cinema began with Omung Kumar's Mary Kom. She auditioned for the lead role, but unfortunately for her, it landed in Priyanka Chopra's kitty and Lin ended up playing Mary Kom's friend.
But real talent never goes unnoticed, isn¡¯t it? Lin has bagged a role in Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon!

This means the world to her and an excited Lin told media, "not just as an actor, but also for my people back home. My character in the film is very strong and also represents the women from my state." Lin, who was stereotyped for her North-Eastern looks during her struggling days in Bollywood, said:
"Even though the concept of the typical Indian beauty hasn't changed, it is certainly evolving. I'm not bound by boundaries, or by looks. And to be cast in a movie with such dedicated and talented actors like Saif Ali Khan, Kangana Ranaut and Shahid Kapoor does not feel like work. It's a treat for me."
Congratulations girl! You truly deserved it. Here are 13 stunning pictures of Lin that prove she's certainly the right choice for Rangoon! Have a look:
