Kolkata Knight Riders’ dynamic middle-order batsman Rinku Singh has extended a gracious invitation to Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan—not only to attend his wedding, but also to bless the occasion with a dance! The heartfelt invite comes ahead of Rinku’s much-anticipated nuptials with Priya Saroj, a young Member of Parliament from Uttar Pradesh.
A Promise Forged in Glorious Cricketing Moments
This invitation holds a special backstory: back in April 2023, after Rinku’s jaw-dropping finale—smashing five consecutive sixes off Yash Dayal to snatch a miraculous win—Shah Rukh called him to congratulate. During that phone call, the superstar affectionately promised, “I will attend your wedding and dance.”
Despite his busy filming schedule, Rinku remains hopeful, saying he “invited Shah Rukh Sir to his wedding as well. Let’s see if he comes.”
Wedding Details: A Grand Affair in the Making
- Engagement: Held on June 8, 2025, at a luxurious hotel in Lucknow. The ceremony saw attendance from notable figures across politics and sports, including SP president Akhilesh Yadav, Jaya Bachchan, and BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla.
- Wedding Date: Scheduled for November 18, 2025, the ceremony is to be held in Varanasi (Kashi).
A Fusion of Worlds: Cricket, Cinema & Politics
Rinku Singh, hailing from modest beginnings in Aligarh, catapulted into national fame with his sensational IPL heroics and solidified his place as a key KKR and Indian pick.
Priya Saroj, his fiancé, is one of the youngest MPs representing Machhlishahr constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Before politics, she practiced law at the Supreme Court, emerging from a respected political family.
Their union promises to blend the worlds of sports, politics, and Bollywood in a spectacular wedding that’s already capturing fans’ imaginations.
