Rinku opened up about his relationship with Priya in an interview following their engagement in 2025. The Indian batter revealed that their love story began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he came across Priya’s photograph on a social media fan page.
He was initially hesitant to approach her but eventually gathered the confidence to message her after noticing that she had liked a couple of his pictures. What began as a social media interaction soon developed into regular conversations.
“It started during the COVID years when the IPL was in Mumbai. I saw her photo on a fan page about some voting in her village. I thought she was perfect for me, but I was unsure about texting her at first. When she liked a couple of my photos, I finally messaged her, and that’s how it began. Soon, we were talking regularly, even before matching. That’s when I started feeling the love in 2022,” Rinku said, as quoted by The Times of India.
Since then, Priya has regularly turned up to support Rinku from the stands. She has also been spotted at Eden Gardens cheering for the Kolkata Knight Riders star during his matches.
Meanwhile, Rinku is set to return to action after last representing India during their tour of Zimbabwe in July. He has been named India’s vice-captain for the upcoming ACC Rising Stars Asia Cup, which will be held in Doha from November 19 to 29.
