Jaunpur, June 2 (NationPress) The realms of politics and sports are about to intersect once more, as Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj prepares to wed cricketer Rinku Singh, known for his IPL prowess. The couple has solidified their wedding arrangements, with festivities planned throughout Uttar Pradesh.
The union of an SP MP and a celebrated cricketer has ignited significant enthusiasm in their respective hometowns and among their supporters, as it represents an unusual blend of political and athletic union.
In an exclusive statement to IANS, Priya Saroj's father, Tufani Saroj, shed light on the upcoming nuptials, unveiling a glimpse of the extensive celebrations that will kick off with their engagement in just a week.
“Our focus is currently on the engagement set for June 8. Preparations are underway, including arrangements for the guest list—who from the family will attend, how logistics will be managed—it’s all part of our planning,” he noted.
When questioned about potential celebrity guests, Saroj remarked, “I have not reached out to any celebrities yet. We’ll see who shows up.”
On whether prominent Samajwadi Party figures like Akhilesh Yadav and Dimple Yadav might make an appearance, he stated, “I haven’t met them personally, but Priya has sent invitations. If they happen to be in Lucknow, they will likely attend.”
When asked about the attendance of cricketers such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Tufani Saroj replied, “I lack direct connections within the cricket community. Only Rinku has insight into which of his peers might join us. They may come for the wedding, though I can't confirm their attendance at the engagement.”
Priya Saroj and Rinku Singh's engagement is slated for June 8 at a prestigious venue in Lucknow, while the wedding is scheduled for November 18 at the Taj Hotel in Varanasi.
