While the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter has already become a fan favorite in the IPL and has almost cemented his place in India’s T20I squad, Priya Saroj is making headlines as the young Lok Sabha MP from Machhlishahr. Their union is expected to be a star-studded event.

Earlier this year, Priya’s father, SP leader Tufani Saroj, confirmed that both families had met a couple of times and approved Rinku and Priya’s relationship after some warm and thoughtful discussions. Their love story began through a mutual friend, whose father is also a cricketer.

Tufani Saroj had stated, “Rinku and Priya have known each other for more than a year now. They both liked each other but needed their families' consent for the relationship. Both families have agreed to this marriage.”

Who is Priya Saroj?

Priya Saroj hails from the small village of Karkhiyaon in Varanasi. She has quickly made a name for herself in Indian politics after winning the Lok Sabha seat from Machhlishahr in Jaunpur district, representing the Samajwadi Party (SP) last year.

Before joining politics, Priya was a lawyer at the Supreme Court. However, Priya’s political journey truly began in 2022, when she was seen supporting her father during the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. That campaign brought her into the public spotlight and marked the beginning of her own political journey.
