The event was graced by the presence of prominent political figures such as Samajwadi Party’s Akhilesh Yadav, Dimple Yadav, Jaya Bachchan, Ram Gopal Yadav, and Shivpal Yadav. The engagement ceremony also saw BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla offering his heartfelt congratulations to the couple. While many of Rinku Singh’s teammates were unable to attend due to their commitments with the Indian Test squad, former cricketer Praveen Kumar made sure to attend and celebrate the joyous occasion.
Rinku Singh, known for his stellar performances in the IPL, is a key player for the Kolkata Knight Riders, who lifted the trophy in the 2024 season. He has represented India in two One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 33 T20Is. The 26-year-old cricketer hails from Aligarh, and his journey in cricket continues to inspire many.
On the other hand, Priya Saroj, 26, is not just an engaged politician but a practising advocate, who has quickly become one of India’s youngest and most dynamic MPs. Representing the Jaunpur constituency of Machhlishahr, Saroj made her political debut in 2024, defeating BJP’s BP Saroj by a margin of over 35,000 votes. She hails from Karkhiyaon village in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, and has followed in the footsteps of her father, Tufani Saroj, a seasoned politician with a long history of public service. Saroj’s commitment to both her political and legal career has earned her recognition across the country.
The combination of politics and cricket creates a fascinating synergy with the engagement of Priya Saroj and Rinku Singh. As they prepare for their wedding in November, the couple’s journey is sure to inspire many, and their story will be remembered as a blend of love, ambition, and commitment to their respective passions.
