Star Indian Cricketer Rinku Singh recently got engaged with Priya Saroj which caught the attention of the fans. Priya Saroj is Member of Parliament (MP) from the Samajwadi Party and a daughter of Tufani
Saroj, who is Member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly. The couple got engaged in June 2025 and are likely to get married by November this year.
As soon as the news of Rinku and Priya’s engagement got out, the fans were left wondering how both of them met each other despite being from different fields. However, recently Rinku himself revealed how she met Priya and fell in love with her.
"It started in 2022 during the COVID years when IPL was in Mumbai. I had a fan page that put up a photo of Priya about some voting in her village. Priya's sister shoots photos and videos, so I think she had asked the fan page to put up a photo for help. I saw the photo and I liked her. I thought she was perfect for me. I thought about texting her, but then I thought it wouldn't be right,” Rinku said in his conversation with News24 Sports.
I started feeling the love from 2022: Rinku Singh
Speaking further, RInku Singh said that he texted Priya Saroj after he found out that she liked one of his pictures on Instagram. However, Rinku also mentioned that he and Priya didn’t much time to talk due to her busy work schedule after becoming an MP, and they could only talk at night.
"She liked a couple of my photos. Then I texted her on Instagram, and that's how it all started. Then we started talking. In a week or two, we were talking regularly, talking before matches. So, I started feeling the love from 2022," Rinku said.
"There has been no such change; it's just initially, we used to speak a lot, but now it has decreased significantly," Rinku said. "She does her work, goes to the villages, talks to people, and helps them; plus there's also the parliament... but it's important for her that she does all this groundwork as a politician... If you go to her Instagram, you'd see how much she works. She goes in the morning, comes back at night so we don't get much time to talk and only talk at night," he further added.
