CRICKET
Dates of engagement and wedding will be decided after the Parliament session.
Indian star cricketer Rinku Singh is set to marry Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Priya Saroj, the latter's family has confirmed. However, the engagement and wedding dates will be decided after the Parliament session, Priya Saroj's father and SP MLA from Kerakat Tufani Saroj told PTI. The engagement will be held in Lucknow.
Tufani added his family held 'meaningful talks' with Singh's father in Aligarh on February 16 regarding the marriage of their children and both sides agreed to the matrimonial alliance. No ring ceremony or pre-wedding programme has been held so far, he said.
Tufani Saroj, a three-time MP, said that his daughter and Singh got acquainted through one of her friends whose father is also a cricketer. "Rinku and Priya have known each other for more than a year now. They both liked each other but needed the consent of their families for their relationship. Both the families have agreed to this marriage," he said. According to sources, the two families met at Singh's house in Ozone City, Aligarh and finalised the marriage by exchanging 'shagun' and gifts.

On the work front, Singh will be playing the T20I series against England from January 22. He will also be playing in the IPL after this. It will be ensured that the wedding functions do not impact his game, he added. Priya Saroj was elected to the Lok Sabha from Machhlishahr constituency in Jaunpur district in UP, last year at the age of 25. She is a resident of Karkhiyaon village in Varanasi. She has been associated with the SP for several years now.
A former Supreme Court lawyer, she graduated in arts from Delhi University before getting a law degree from Amity University, Noida. Priya Saroj first shot into the limelight while campaigning for her father in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.
