Indian batsman Rinku Singh has opened up on his love life, revealing how he met his to-be wife Priya Saroj for the first time. A Member of Parliament, Priya became the second-youngest member of the 2024 Lok Sabha after winning the election as a Samajwadi Party candidate.
Earlier this year, in June, Priya and Rinku Singh got engaged in a private ceremony at The Centrum Hotel in Lucknow. The event was attended by only close family members, friends, and select guests from the worlds of politics and cricket.
Several famous personalities, such as BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla, along with prominent Samajwadi Party leaders like Akhilesh Yadav, Jaya Bachchan, Dimple Yadav, and a host of former and present cricketers like Praveen Kumar, Piyush Chawla, Aryan Juyal, attended the engagement ceremony.
Rinku Singh recalls first interaction with Priya Saroj:
Speaking on Raj Shamani's podcast, Rinku Singh recalled his first interaction with Priya. It all started when he saw Priya's photo for the first time on his fan page on social media. Rinku Singh stated that it was love at first sight for him as he was blown away by Priya's beauty.
"I have a fan page called Saurabh. In 2022, the fan page posted a story about Priya. I saw it and thought that the girl is beautiful.
Rinku further revealed that he promoted a story on his own Instagram account and it eventually led to the first interaction between him and Priya. He further stated that Priya liked few of his photos before he decided to message her and both started talking.
Rinku also hilariously claimed that he had no idea about how to talk to a girl and decided to hand the responsibility to his Kolkata Knight Riders teammate Nitish Rana.
"Priya liked a few of my photos. So, I thought of messaging her. So, she replied. I didn't know how to talk to girls. So, I called Rana Bhai. Rana Bhai talked to her," said Rinku.
