Cricketer Rinku Singh attended Kuldeep Yadav’s engagement, ending speculations of rivalry
The ceremony was attended by many of their family members and close friends. Among them, another renowned face and an expected one also attended the ceremony. He is none other than cricketer Rinku Singh. Along with his fiancée, MP Priya Saroj, he not only attended the ceremony but also gave blessings to the soon-to-be-married couple.
His presence put a stop to the long-running, escalating rumors that he and Kuldeep Yadav were at odds. The infamous ‘slap’ incident between Kuldeep and Rinku shortly after their teams’ match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi sparked rumors that the two were at odds because of it. However, it appears like everything is good with the couple based on Rinku’s appearance and Priya’s tweet.

Vanshika loves to keep her personal life private
Vanshika hardly ever shows up in public and is not active on social media. Fans have praised her private personality for remaining true to herself while standing by a well-known partner. But even though Vanshika is new to the cricketing glitz and glamour scene, she is becoming well-known online for her grace, simplicity, and the true story of her romance with Kuldeep.
Although Kuldeep’s personal life has been happier since getting engaged, his career is still as challenging as ever. His presence will be crucial as India prepares for the England tour, particularly in red-ball cricket, when the conditions frequently favor skilled spinners like him. The wedding was originally planned for June 29. However, it has since been rescheduled because of impending overseas obligations.
