Indian cricketer Rinku Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj are going to get married soon. The marriage of both will take place on December 4 at Ramada Hotel in Lucknow. Preparations for the wedding have started. Due to this famous relationship between cricket and politics, the eyes of both the regions are fixed on the wedding ceremony.
The engagement of Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj took place on 8 June 2025 in Lucknow. Now after about one and a half years both are going to get married. Family members, close friends and people from the world of cricket and politics are expected to attend the ceremony. Priya had earlier told that at present there is no plan to organize a separate reception.
The Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections of 2027 are also being considered an important reason for choosing the date of December for the marriage. Priya Saroj is SP MP and is active in state politics. In such a situation, there is a plan to complete the wedding program before the election activities intensify. Lucknow has already been special for both of them, because their engagement took place here also.
Priya wanted marriage in the village
Priya Saroj wished that her marriage should take place in the village. He had told that most of the marriages in his family have taken place in the village. Since childhood, he has seen traditional village weddings and had a dream of getting married like that. However, considering the public identity of both and the number of guests, the wedding will now be held in Lucknow.
The love story of Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj started from social media. Priya's sister used to make food related items and she was suggested to contact Rinku to promote her page. In this connection, Priya found Rinku's Instagram account.
Initially Priya was not comfortable talking directly to an unknown person. So he gave his phone to his brother. His brother kept talking to Rinku for about a week. During this time, cricketer Nitish Rana also participated in the conversation on behalf of Rinku.
Time taken to convince family
Gradually the conversation between the two increased and trust was established between the families as well. Priya had told that love marriage had not happened in her family before. His father Toofani Saroj was also not comfortable with this relationship in the beginning. The family wanted the daughter to marry a young man who was educated, cultured and had a stable job.
Rinku was a cricketer, so initially the family had some hesitation about this relationship. But with time Rinku's brilliant performance and growing recognition changed the thinking of the family. After the consent of both the families, the relationship reached marriage.
The most memorable moment of Rinku Singh's career came in the IPL, when he led his team to a thrilling victory by hitting five consecutive sixes. This innings gave him recognition across the country. After this he got a place in the Indian cricket team and he was successful in making his mark in T20 cricket.
Priya fondly calls her 'RK'
Priya Saroj had told that she calls Rinku less by his name and more by 'RK'. He cited the reason for this as the family tradition of Purvanchal, where in many families the wife does not take the husband's name directly. Now their fans as well as people associated with cricket and politics are waiting for the marriage of Rinku and Priya.
