Rinku Singh father death is a tough time for his family. After the demise Mr. Khanchand Singh, speculations around Rinku Singh marriage with fiancée Priya Saroj have been all over the internet. The fans have been wanting to know whether the couple is going to tie the knot or not. In June 2025, Rinku and Priya got engaged at a ring ceremony surrounded by family and friends in Lucknow.

But, by early 2026, their wedding dates were changed again due to the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Reports suggest that Priya Saroj will become Rinku Singh wife in June 2026, after the end of the IPL.

However, as of now, there has been no official confirmation on whether Rinku and Priya have completely cancelled their wedding or are attempting to reschedule their wedding date. Moreover, Hindu traditions also allow for rescheduling or postponing weddings in times of death or mourning.
