Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj Wedding Date Set for December 4 in Lucknow, Family Confirms Venue

Indian cricketer Rinku Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj are set to marry on December 4, 2026, in Lucknow, according to recent reports citing Priya Saroj’s father and Kerakat MLA Tufani Saroj. The reported venue is the Ramada Hotel in Lucknow, with preparations said to be underway.

The development gives a clearer timeline to a relationship that first became public with the couple’s engagement in June 2025. However, The Celebrity Hour found that there is a qualification worth noting: while multiple reports cite the December 4 date and the family’s confirmation, a later report quoted Rinku’s brother as raising concerns about the cricketer’s schedule. The date should therefore be described as the family-confirmed wedding plan, rather than as a direct public announcement from Rinku and Priya themselves.

December 4 wedding planned in Lucknow

According to a September 15 report by Jagran, Tufani Saroj confirmed that both families had agreed on December 4 as the wedding date and selected the Ramada Hotel in Lucknow as the venue. Amar Ujala and several other publications have independently reported the same date and location.

The reports indicate that the wedding preparations have begun, although detailed information about the guest list, individual ceremonies and other arrangements has not been officially released.

The December ceremony will bring together two public figures from very different professional fields: Rinku Singh, whose career has been built around Indian cricket and the IPL, and Priya Saroj, an elected Lok Sabha member representing Machhlishahr in Uttar Pradesh.

According to PRS Legislative Research, Saroj is serving her first term in the 18th Lok Sabha and represents the Samajwadi Party from Machhlishahr.

From engagement to wedding plans

Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj became engaged on June 8, 2025, at The Centrum in Lucknow. The engagement was attended by family members as well as prominent personalities from cricket and politics. India Today reported the ceremony as a private engagement attended by relatives, friends and selected guests, while other coverage documented the presence of several political and cricket figures.

At the time of their engagement, earlier reports had mentioned different possible wedding timelines. The date subsequently changed, making the latest December 4 announcement significant because it provides a specific date and venue after months of uncertainty.

The engagement itself was also notable because of the intersection of cricket and politics. Senior political figures, including Samajwadi Party leaders, attended the Lucknow ceremony, alongside personalities connected with Indian cricket.

How Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj's relationship began

Rinku has previously spoken about how the relationship started.

In an interview reported by The Times of India, Rinku said that he first noticed Priya through a fan page during the Covid period, when the IPL was being played in Mumbai. He recalled seeing her photograph and later gaining the confidence to message her after noticing that she had liked some of his Instagram posts. He said their conversations eventually developed into a relationship.

That account provides context for a relationship that began away from the public spotlight before becoming widely known following their engagement.

Priya has also been seen supporting Rinku during cricket matches, including appearances at games involving his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, according to previous media coverage.

A wedding plan with one important caveat

Although the December 4 date has been widely reported, there is a reason for some caution in how the development is described.

Jagran reported on September 15 that Tufani Saroj had confirmed the date and venue on behalf of the family. However, a subsequent Jagran report published on September 16 said Rinku's brother had raised the issue of the cricketer's schedule and the possibility of a conflict.

The Celebrity Hour therefore considers December 4, 2026, at the Ramada Hotel in Lucknow to be the currently reported wedding plan, with the family confirmation providing substantial support, but not a substitute for a direct statement from Rinku Singh or Priya Saroj.

This distinction is important because cricket schedules can change, and the wedding date was previously subject to changes.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The significance of the latest update is less about the celebrity element of the wedding and more about the fact that a specific date and venue have now emerged after a prolonged period of uncertainty.

Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj occupy different public spheres, but both have strong connections to Uttar Pradesh. Rinku has become one of the most recognisable young Indian cricketers, while Priya Saroj entered the Lok Sabha in 2024 as the Samajwadi Party's representative from Machhlishahr.

For readers following their relationship, the key development is therefore straightforward: December 4 is the date currently being reported and supported by a statement from Priya Saroj's family, while final confirmation from the couple themselves would provide the clearest verification.

Until such a direct announcement is available, details such as the complete guest list, ceremony schedule and attendance of particular celebrities or political figures should not be treated as confirmed.

Sources & Verification

This report was prepared by cross-checking the September 2026 wedding-date reports, along with earlier reporting on Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj's June 2025 engagement. Priya Saroj's parliamentary profile was also checked through PRS Legislative Research. The December 4 date and Ramada Hotel venue are widely reported, but the article deliberately distinguishes the family-confirmed plan from a direct confirmation by the couple because a subsequent report raised a scheduling-related qualification.
