Indian cricketer Rinku Singh is making news for his reported engagement to Priya Saroj, a Samajwadi Party MP representing Machhlishahr, Uttar Pradesh. Neither Rinku nor Priya officially confirmed the news of their engagement; the speculation began circulating through claims made by social media users.
