Lucknow, India — Indian cricketer Rinku Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj celebrated their engagement on Sunday at The Centrum, a luxury hotel in Lucknow. The couple’s emotional exchange was highlighted by Priya’s tears of joy as Rinku placed the engagement ring on her finger.

The ceremony drew a crowd of over 300 guests, melding the worlds of cricket and politics. Notable attendees included Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav, former cricketers Praveen Kumar and Piyush Chawla, and other dignitaries.

Before the celebration, Rinku, along with his family, visited the Chaudhera Wali Vichitra Devi Temple in Bulandshahr to seek blessings for their new chapter together. Video clips of the couple’s heartfelt ring exchange quickly spread across social media, sparking warm responses from fans.

Priya Saroj, visibly emotional, briefly composed herself to smile for the cameras. “Today is a day of great pride and joy,” said Bhagwati Saroj, Priya’s uncle, describing the engagement. “It is a matter of great pride for us that an international wedding is taking place for the first time in my community.”

The engagement ceremony took place around noon, with rituals planned ahead of the formal ring exchange. Tufani Saroj, Priya’s father, noted that the engagement marks a significant joyous occasion for both families.
