Is Rinku Singh Engaged to Priya Saroj? All You Need to Know!
The worlds of cricket and politics came together in a grand celebration on June 8, 2025, as Indian cricketer Rinku Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj got officially engaged in a luxurious ceremony in Lucknow. The event, which quickly went viral on social media, was not just a glamorous affair—it was the union of two rising stars from two powerful worlds. Here’s everything you need to know about this headline-making engagement.
A Grand Celebration in Lucknow
The engagement ceremony took place at The Centrum Hotel, one of Lucknow’s most premium venues. With over 300 guests in attendance, the function was a mix of private elegance and star power. Big names from both cricket and politics, including Akhilesh Yadav, Jaya Bachchan, and several members of the Samajwadi Party, graced the event.
The emotional highlight of the evening? A teary-eyed Priya Saroj, visibly overwhelmed, as Rinku gently placed the ring on her finger—a heartfelt moment captured on video that quickly took over Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
Traditional Touch: Temple Visit Before the Ceremony
Before their ring ceremony, Rinku and Priya visited the Chaudhera Wali Vichitra Devi Temple in Uttar Pradesh to seek blessings. The couple offered prayers and followed rituals together, showcasing their respect for tradition despite their modern public profiles. Photos of their temple visit, shared by Rinku’s sister Neha on her popular YouTube channel, added a spiritual and emotional layer to the celebration.
Who Is Rinku Singh?
Rinku Singh, 27, is no stranger to the limelight. A powerhouse batsman from Aligarh, he shot to fame during the IPL 2023 season when he smashed five consecutive sixes in a dramatic chase for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Since then, he has become a fan favorite, representing India in 2 ODIs and 33 T20Is to date.
In the 2025 IPL season, Rinku was retained by KKR for a whopping ₹13 crore—a clear reflection of his value on the field. Off the field, his humility and strong family values have earned him admiration beyond cricketing circles.
Who Is Priya Saroj?
Priya Saroj, 26, is one of the youngest and most promising faces in Indian politics. A first-time Member of Parliament (MP) from Machhlishahr, Uttar Pradesh, she made headlines in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by defeating BJP’s BP Saroj by more than 35,000 votes.
A trained lawyer with degrees from Amity University and Delhi University, Priya is the daughter of Tufani Saroj, a three-time MP and currently the Samajwadi Party’s MLA from Kerakat. Her blend of education, political heritage, and youthful energy has made her a rising political force.
A Love Story That Started Quietly
So, how did these two high-achievers find each other?
According to Tufani Saroj, the couple met over a year ago through a mutual family connection. “Rinku and Priya have known each other for some time. They met through Priya’s friend’s father, who is a cricketer himself,” he told PTI.
Their relationship began as a friendship and slowly blossomed into love. After getting their families’ blessings, both sides met in Aligarh, exchanged traditional shagun, and finalized the engagement and wedding plans.
Engagement Fashion: A Blend of Elegance and Simplicity
Priya Saroj stunned the guests in a blush pink lehenga with delicate floral appliqué work, paired with a dazzling diamond necklace. She kept her makeup minimal, letting her natural elegance shine through.
Rinku Singh chose a classic white sherwani, paired with mojris and subtle embroidery—keeping the look regal yet simple. Their pre-engagement photoshoot, also captured by Neha Singh’s channel, revealed the genuine chemistry and warmth between them.
Wedding Plans: Save the Date – November 18, 2025
The wedding is scheduled for November 18, 2025, and will take place at the Hotel Taj in Varanasi. With a lineup of guests expected to include A-listers from cricket, politics, and Bollywood, the event is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about weddings of the year.
Close sources reveal that the wedding will follow traditional rituals, with pre-wedding events including a mehendi, sangeet, and haldi ceremony in both Aligarh and Varanasi.
Why This Engagement Is Grabbing Headlines
This isn’t just any celebrity engagement. It’s the perfect blend of sports and politics, youth and ambition, tradition and modern love. On social media, the couple is being dubbed “India’s power couple,” with congratulatory hashtags like #RinkuWedsPriya and #PowerCouple2025 trending across platforms.
Their story resonates with many—because it combines authenticity, family values, and personal achievements. Rinku represents the dream of every small-town cricketer, while Priya embodies the new face of young, educated, grassroots Indian politics.
