Cricketer Rinku Singh to wed Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj in Kashi on November 18
VARANASI: Following his ring ceremony with Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj on June 8 in Lucknow,
cricketer Rinku Singh
will tie the nuptial knot with her in Kashi on November 18.
Speaking to TOI on Sunday, Priya's father and SP MLA from Kerakat in Jaunpur, Tufani Saroj, confirmed the dates.
He mentioned that the engagement ceremony of Priya Saroj will take place on June 8 in Lucknow.
Her marriage with cricketer Rinku Singh will be solemnised at a ceremony slated for November 18 at Hotel Taj in Varanasi, he added.
With the finalisation of these dates, the family has geared up preparations to host grand ceremonies.
Apart from prominent figures from the political fraternity, especially from SP, many cricket stars, film industry personalities, and industrialists are also expected to attend the events.
In January, Tufani Saroj announced that his daughter Priya would soon marry T20 champion cricketer Rinku Singh after the families of the bride and groom held initial rounds of meetings to fix their matrimonial alliance.
Like Rinku, who created a sensation by hitting five sixes in the final over of a match against Gujarat Titans to successfully chase down 29 runs—the highestever chase in the last over in the IPL tournament's history—for his team Kolkata Knight Riders in April 2023, Priya's entry into poll politics was equally sensational.

Rinku and Priya met through friend's father
She reached the Lok Sabha at 25, as one of the youngest parliamentarians, by winning the 2024 LS poll from the Machhlishahr (reserved) seat, which was represented by her father thrice before he decided to contest from the Kerakat assembly seat (reserved) in 2022.
Rinku and Priya got acquainted through one of her friend's father, who is also a cricketer. Tufani Saroj, while returning from Aligarh in January following an initial round of discussions with Rinku's family, mentioned that they knew each other for some time, and both had announced that they would marry with the consent of their families.
As Rinku was focusing on the T20 series with England and IPL, and Priya had her political engagements, both families decided that the finalisation of dates and events would be done when the duo sat together.

'Given this team my youth, prime, experience,' emotional Kohli after IPL win
New Delhi: A crowd of over 91,000 in red jerseys bore witness to a moment generations of Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans thought might never come. RCB — perpetual entertainers but eternally jinxed — had finally broken the jinx. And standing tall in the midst of it all was the guy who fell to his knees when history was finally made – Virat Kohli, the face and heart of the franchise, the only player to have played for a solitary franchise since the inception of IPL and his own individual career. 'This win is as much for the fans as it is for the team,' Kohli told the broadcasters. 'It's been 18 long years. I've given this team my youth, my prime, my experience. Every single season, I've walked out with a heart full of hope and a mind obsessed with victory. To finally have this moment… it's beyond belief.' The burden of bringing home the trophy weighed heavy on him, to the point that he had to step away from captaincy, Kohli had acknowledged earlier in a separate interview. And in the twilight of his career, Kohli's Royal dream came true. Although he did state his intent to carry on further, it was a kind of closure. 'I never thought this day would come. I was overcome with emotion the moment that last delivery was bowled. I had nothing left in me — every ounce of energy, every drop of sweat, I gave it to this cause. And tonight, it all came back full circle.' But Kohli's joy wasn't solitary. He was quick to turn the spotlight toward someone who has been iconic and central to RCB's legacy — AB de Villiers, who played 157 matches for the team between 2011 and 2021, scoring 4522 runs for them. 'What AB has done for this franchise is phenomenal. I told him, 'This win is as much yours as it is ours. You have to celebrate with us.' Even after four years of retirement, he's still probably our most frequent Player of the Match. That tells you everything about his impact — not just on the league or the team, but on me personally. He deserves to be here, on this podium, lifting this cup.' Kohli didn't hesitate to acknowledge that this moment was right up there in his storied career. 'It's right up there. Maybe at the very top. I've had chances to move on, to switch teams, but I stayed. I stuck through the tough years. I believed in this badge, this city. Bangalore is not just a franchise for me — it's home. My heart and soul are here. And I always dreamt of winning with them. That makes this even more special.' 'As a sportsperson, you dream of big moments. And the IPL — this tournament — it's one of the biggest. I wanted this. Not just for my legacy, but for this group. For the fans who've stood by us. For the city that's sung our name. And tonight, I can finally sleep like a baby.' Although Kohli has retired from two formats of the game – Tests and T20Is – he will continue to ply his trade for in ODIs and for RCB in the IPL. And so, despite the title win, Kohli will turn up for RCB yet again. 'I know I don't have many years left in the game. But by the time I hang up my boots, I want to look back and say I gave everything. I still want to field every ball, chase down everything, be more than just an impact player. That's who I am. I was blessed with the talent, yes — but more than that, I was blessed with perspective.' He made it a point to celebrate the collective. 'This management, this group — they've been outstanding. People questioned our auction strategy, mocked our picks. But we knew what we were building. Match-winners, risk-takers, people who believe. And when the pressure came, this squad stood tall.' The almost cult-like fanbase of the franchise was also not left out in his acknowledgement. After all, it was a long, long test of their loyalty to him and the franchise. 'This win isn't mine. It's not just the team's. It belongs to Bangalore. To every fan who waited 18 years. To every family member, every support staff, every person who stood by us. We are champions. And we did it — together.'

Housing federation pushes for series of changes in revised society by-laws
Pune: From EV-ready parking provisions and streamlined redevelopment rules to digital governance and pet policies, Maharashtra State Co-operative Housing and Apartment Federation has submitted a fresh set of demands to be incorporated in the upcoming model bye-laws 2025 for cooperative housing societies. These demands have been placed before a state-appointed committee headed by the cooperation commissioner, Deepak Tawre, as govt moves ahead with finalising draft rules under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960. "The current set of model bye-laws — last revised in 2014 — has not kept pace with legal, civic, and technological developments. These amendments are long overdue," said Shreeprasad Parab, expert director of the federation. He said housing societies today face complex issues — whether it is redevelopment, digital transparency or pet-related disputes — that did not exist a decade ago. "The 2025 bye-laws must be designed to address these realities and anticipate future ones." The push for updating the bye-laws gained traction after state govt in April published long-pending draft rules under the Act and invited suggestions from the public. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Descubra ofertas de voos imperdíveis Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais The federation formally wrote to the commissioner seeking a revision of the bye-laws, after which a committee was formed. Officials said the committee has already held three rounds of meetings and is examining suggestions from multiple stakeholders. In 2019, state added chapter XIII-B to the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act to address housing society-specific needs. However, the absence of corresponding rules and updated bye-laws delayed its implementation. "This is an opportunity to modernise how 1.25 lakh housing societies operate in Maharashtra," said Meera Soni, a member of a housing society in Kondhwa. "More than half of state's cooperative societies are residential. The new bye-laws must reflect how people live today — digitally, densely, and with evolving civic expectations." Officials in the state cooperation department said the draft rules are likely to be approved in June. The revised bye-laws, once finalised, will follow shortly after and are to be cleared by the state cooperation commissioner. Tawre told TOI that the committee is reviewing all the points raised by the federation. Federation members said the model bye-laws 2025 could serve as a national benchmark for cooperative housing governance, ushering in clarity, inclusivity and future-ready mechanisms for millions of residents.
