'Rinku Singh got engaged to Priya Saroj' is the headline that has been doing rounds all over the internet since the night of January 17, 2025. Several news channels and publications reported that the young Indian cricketer got engaged to Samajwadi Party MP and will soon get married. The reports created a stir in the sports and politics communities. While Rinku is just 27 years old and is slowly making his mark in the Indian cricket team, Priya is 26 years old and is considered as one of the rising stars in Indian politics.
At the time when Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj are extremely focused on their respective careers, it was a surprise for their admirers and fans to read about their engagement. Not only this but even so, many fan pages have started posting fake AI-generated engagement pictures of Rinku and Priya that are going viral on the internet at the moment.
However, in a twist in the tale, Priya's father and renowned politician, Tufani Saroj, revealed the truth behind the ongoing rumours about his daughter's engagement with Rinku Singh. In a telephonic conversation with ABP News, Tufani Saroj revealed that Rinku Singh's family talked to his elder son-in-law about the prospect of a marriage between their son and Priya.
Revealing further details of the conversation between the two families, Tufani Saroj admitted that he was glad to hear about it. The Samajwadi MP from the Jaunpur constituency also added that he is seriously considering getting his daughter, Priya Saroj, married to Rinku Singh. Although Tufani Saroj clearly stated that both families are ready for Priya and Rinku's marriage, he also added that Rinku and Priya are not engaged yet. The doting father ended the engagement ceremony reports by saying that engagement is due and it is a matter of marriage.
Now that Tufani Saroj has indirectly confirmed that his daughter, Priya Saroj and Rinku Singh will soon tie the marital knot, people are curious to know more about the young politician.

Talking about Samajwadi Party's MP, Priya Saroj's educational qualifications, she completed her schooling at the Air Force Golden Jubilee Insitute in New Delhi.

Before venturing into politics, Priya Saroj has also reportedly worked at the Supreme Court as a lawyer for some time.
Priya Saroj's political career kickstarted back when she took part in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. The young politician received a lot of backing from her father, Tufani Saroj's supporters. However, she also impressed people with her speeches and interviews during the elections. As a result, Priya Saroj defeated veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader, BP Saroj by a margin of 35,850 votes. It was a ground-breaking win for the young politician, who became the MP of Machhlishahr constituency. With her historic win in her debut election, Priya Saroj became India's youngest female politician to become a Member of Parliament (MP). When she became the MP, Priya was just 25 years and 7 months old.

Time and again, we have seen Akhilesh and Tufani posing together at each other's family occasions and events. Priya is also an admirer of Akhilesh Yadav's wife, Dimple Yadav, and the young politician never skips a chance to drop pictures with the Mainpuri MP on her Instagram handle.
Just like her father and most of the politicians nowadays, Priya Saroj is also quite active on Instagram and has 262K followers. Although she is already quite popular, but her engagement reports with star cricketer, Rinku Kumar Singh have also spiked her followers a bit.
