Who is Priya Saroj?
25-year-old Priya Saroj became an MP from the Machhlishahr seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. She is the daughter of SP leader Toofani Saroj and came into the limelight after defeating BJP’s BP Saroj by over 35,000 votes in the election.
Prior to joining politics, Priya was a lawyer and has practised in the Supreme Court after studying from Amity University, Noida. Interestingly, she initially had no intention of joining politics.
Priya and Rinku met a year ago, and the relationship slowly turned from friendship to love. According to PTI, Toofani Saroj said that the relationship was taken forward after the consent of both families.
A few days ago, Rinku also attended the engagement of Kuldeep Yadav and Vanshika, which also put an end to the rumours of a rift between him and Kuldeep. Rinku and Priya were seen in black outfits at that ceremony. Rinku wore a black kurta-pyjama, while Priya was seen in a black Banarasi-style saree.
This engagement not only combined sports and politics but also presented a glimpse of the powerful and progressive representatives of a new generation.
