Love, Politics, and Cricket: How Rinku Singh Met Priya Saro

Sports News:  Kolkata Knight Riders star batsman Rinku Singh is all set to begin a new chapter in his life off the field. The cricketer, known for his explosive batting and fan-favorite status, is preparing for his engagement just days after the IPL 2025 season concludes. Close associates of the cricketer say that Rinku Singh will celebrate his engagement to Priya Saroj on June 8 at a top-tier five-star hotel in Lucknow. The couple is then expected to marry on November 18 in a grand wedding ceremony at the Taj Hotel in Varanasi, Priya's hometown.

Who Is Priya Saroj?

While Rinku Singh has carved his name in Indian cricket, his fiancée, Priya Saroj, is already a rising name in Indian politics. She hails from Karkhiyan in Varanasi and made headlines by becoming one of India’s youngest Members of Parliament.Her political journey has a strong family connection—her father, Toofani Saroj, is a seasoned politician and has been associated with the Samajwadi Party for many years.

Academically, Priya has an impressive background. She completed her early education at the Air Force Golden Jubilee Institute in New Delhi and later pursued law (LLB) from Amity University, Noida. Interestingly, she once revealed that politics was never her original career goal. However, her interest grew over time, eventually leading her to contest the general elections.

How Did They Meet?

Rinku and Priya's relationship blossomed quietly away from the public eye. According to media reports, they were introduced through a mutual friend. Over time, the two developed a strong bond, but chose to keep things private until both families gave their blessings. Their relationship has been going on for more than a year. Sources say that both sides have now fully consented to the union. Priya’s father Toofani Saroj has confirmed that the families are happy with the match and are looking forward to the engagement and wedding ceremonies.

As the countdown begins for this cricket-meets-politics wedding, fans are excited to see Rinku step into a new innings of his life—not with a bat this time, but with a life partner who brings her own powerful journey to the table
