India and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star batter Rinku Singh has revealed the details of her long-term love story with fiancé, lawyer and politician, Priya Saroj as well. He also said that they first started talking in 2022 when he came across Priya’s photo on a fan page as well. Though he was hesitant to message her at first on Instagram, he gathered up the courage after seeing Priya like some of his photos as well.
“It started in 2022 during the COVID years when IPL was in Mumbai,” Rinku told News24. “I had a fan page that put up a photo of Priya about some voting in her village. Priya’s sister shoots photos and videos, so I think she had asked the fan page to put up a photo for help. I saw the photo and I liked her. I thought she was perfect for me. I thought about texting her, but then I thought it won’t be right,” he added.

“She liked a couple of my photos. Then I texted her on Instagram, and that’s how it all started. Then we started talking. In a week or two, we were talking regularly, talking before matches. So, I started feeling the love from 2022,” Rinku further said.
However, the couple got engaged in June this year as well. Initially, they were supposed to tie the knot in November, but their marriage has been delayed due to the Indian domestic cricket season and a series of upcoming tournaments as well. Rinku further said that he was delighted when Priya Saroj became MP last year, and shared about her social work as well.
“There has been no such change; it’s just initially, we used to speak a lot, but now it has decreased significantly,” Rinku said. “She does her work, goes to the villages, talks to people and helps them, plus there’s also the parliament… but it’s important for her that she does all this groundwork as a politician… If you go to her Instagram, you’d see how much she works. She goes in the morning, comes back at night so we don’t get much time to talk and only talk at night,” Rinku Singh concluded.
