Team India batter Rinku Singh recently talked about his first conversation with his fiancée, Member of Parliament Priya Saroj. The couple got engaged on June 8 this year in Lucknow. Rinku recalled first noticing Priya in 2022 and feeling hesitant to approach her initially.
He added that once they started talking, he began developing feelings for the 26-year-old. In an interview with News24, he shared:
“Yes, it all started in 2022 during COVID in Mumbai, in the Indian Prmier League tournament. 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 Priya’s photo, I liked it, and I thought, ‘Yes, she is perfect for me.’”
“I thought of messaging her, but I hesitated, thinking it might not be right. Then she liked one or two of my photos, so I finally sent her a message. That’s how it all started. I messaged her on Instagram, and our conversation began. After about a week and a half, we started talking regularly, even before the matches. That’s when the feeling of love started to come naturally,” he added.

During the same interview, Rinku Singh also shared that he was in the USA when he found out about Priya Saroj’s election victory. He recalled:
“I was in New York (in 2024), it was around 4:00 AM there, probably night here in India. That’s when her result came, and she had won. It was a very happy moment. She became a young MP at the age of 25, which was a big deal. Her father also helped her a lot.”
The 27-year-old stated that their conversations have reduced since Priya took on her responsibilities and has been occupied with work. Rinku said:
“I haven’t seen much change. Earlier, we used to talk the whole day, but now that doesn’t happen as much (Ab nahi hoti itni baat). Conversations have reduced a lot because she is busy with her work. She travels in the village, helps people, and Parliament goes on. She stays very busy with those things.”
