Facts About Priya Saroj – Rinku Engagement
Rinku and Priya have known each other for over a year – Priya’s father
Kerakat SP MLA Turani Saroj says his daughter Priya and cricketer Rinku have been acquaintances for since 2023:
“Rinku and Priya have known each other for more than a year now. They both liked each other but needed the consent of their families for their relationship. Both the families have agreed to this marriage,”
“No ceremony so far” – Turani Saroj
Priya’s father claims the busy schedule of his daughter and Rinku is behind scheduling delays for their proposed wedding:
“While marriage has been finalised, no ceremony has taken place so far. Right now, she is in Thiruvananthapuram for a meeting of a parliamentary committee of which she is a member. There hasn’t been any engagement ceremony either. These matters are yet to be finalised as even Rinku is busy with the T20 series against England,” he said.
