A Love Story That Began in Childhood

Kuldeep Yadav, India’s celebrated left-arm wrist spinner, got engaged to Vanshika, a longtime friend who hails from Kanpur and currently works with the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Their friendship blossomed over the years into love, culminating in this joyous occasion.

Inside the Engagement Ceremony

Held at a luxury hotel in Lucknow, the engagement ceremony was a private but elegant affair. Kuldeep wore a cream-colored traditional bandhgala suit, while Vanshika dazzled in a vibrant orange lehenga. The couple exchanged rings in front of their close ones and shared intimate moments, capturing them with selfies and photographs.

Star Guests: Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj

Rinku Singh, Kuldeep’s close friend and a rising star in Indian cricket, attended the event and shared photos from the evening on social media. Adding to the celebration was the presence of 26-year-old Member of Parliament Priya Saroj, who is believed to be romantically linked to Rinku. Priya shared pictures with the couple and wrote a heartfelt congratulatory message, saying, “Heartiest congratulations to Kuldeep Bhaiya and Vanshika.”

Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj to Get Engaged Soon

According to reliable sources, Rinku Singh and Priya Saroj are also set to get engaged on June 8, 2025, in Lucknow. Their wedding is reportedly scheduled for November in Varanasi. Although both were present at Kuldeep’s engagement, they did not share any photos together, keeping their relationship low-key for now.

Who is Vanshika?

Vanshika, the bride-to-be, is a native of Shyam Nagar, Kanpur. Employed at LIC, she and Kuldeep have shared a strong bond since their childhood. Known for her simplicity and grace, Vanshika kept a low profile at the ceremony, letting the moment speak for itself.

Kuldeep Yadav’s Stellar Cricket Journey

Kuldeep has been a crucial part of India’s bowling attack, especially in white-ball formats.

A Delhi University graduate with a law degree from Amity University, Noida, Priya previously practiced law at the Supreme Court before venturing into politics. Her political lineage includes her father, former MP Tufani Saroj.

Kuldeep Yadav’s engagement marks a new chapter in his personal life, celebrated among close friends and family.
