Indian cricketer Rinku Singh has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his wedding with Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj and sought his blessings ahead of the much-awaited ceremony. Rinku met the Prime Minister along with his family and personally extended the invitation.
Sharing a picture from the meeting on social media, Rinku expressed his gratitude and described it as a special moment for his family.
"Honoured to meet our Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji with my family, invite him to my wedding and seek his blessings. A truly special moment for us," Rinku wrote.
Preparations for the wedding have gathered pace, with Rinku and his family reaching out to several prominent personalities ahead of the ceremony. Earlier, the cricketer's family also invited Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to the wedding.
Rinku's mother, Beena Devi, brother Sonu Singh and sister Neha Singh visited the Chief Minister's residence in Lucknow and personally handed him the wedding invitation card. The family invited Adityanath to attend the ceremony, which is scheduled to take place in Lucknow on December 4.
The couple will tie the knot at the Ramada Hotel in Lucknow, with both families having begun preparations for the celebrations. Several prominent personalities from the worlds of cricket and politics are expected to attend the wedding.
The wedding comes nearly one and a half years after Rinku and Priya's engagement ceremony, which was held on June 8, 2025, at The Centrum Hotel in Lucknow. While Rinku has established himself as an important member of India's limited-overs setup, Priya represents Machhlishahr in the Lok Sabha as a Samajwadi Party MP.
A LOVE STORY THAT BEGAN ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Rinku opened up about his relationship with Priya in an interview following their engagement in 2025. The India batter revealed that their love story began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he came across Priya's photograph on a social media fan page.
He was initially hesitant to approach her but eventually found the confidence to send her a message after noticing that she had liked a couple of his pictures. What began as a social media interaction soon developed into regular conversations.
"It started during the COVID years when the IPL was in Mumbai. I saw her photo on a fan page about some voting in her village. I thought she was perfect for me, but I was unsure about texting her at first. When she liked a couple of my photos, I finally messaged her, and that's how it began. Soon, we were talking regularly, even before matches. That's when I started feeling the love in 2022," Rinku said, as quoted by The Times of India.
Since then, Priya has regularly turned up to support Rinku from the stands. She has also been spotted at Eden Gardens cheering for the Kolkata Knight Riders batter during his matches.
Meanwhile, Rinku is set to return to action after last representing India during their tour of Zimbabwe in July. He has been named India's A vice-captain for the upcoming ACC Rising Stars Asia Cup, which will be held in Doha from November 19 to 29.
