When Bollywood’s King meets cricket’s rising star, you know sparks—of the fun kind—are bound to fly. That’s exactly what happened when Shah Rukh Khan, celebrating his 60th birthday, was wished well by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) sensation Rinku Singh. But instead of a simple thank you, SRK had a cheeky question for the young cricketer: “Shaadi kab hai?” (When’s the wedding?)
The playful exchange didn’t just melt hearts—it sent fans into a frenzy of laughter and excitement across social media.
On November 2, 2025, Shah Rukh Khan turned 60—a milestone celebrated by millions worldwide. Among the heartfelt birthday wishes came a sweet video message from Rinku Singh, the explosive left-handed batter who shot to fame with his five consecutive sixes in an IPL 2023 match for KKR.
Ever the entertainer, SRK’s response wasn’t just gratitude—it was pure SRK charm. In a follow-up social media post, he playfully asked Rinku: “Shaadi kab hai? We’re all waiting!” The question, delivered with a wink and a smile, instantly went viral, racking up thousands of likes and shares within hours.
For those wondering why SRK is so invested, here’s the heartwarming backstory. Rinku Singh is set to marry Priya Saroj in 2026. The couple’s love story began in 2022 in a refreshingly modern-yet-traditional way—Rinku saw a photo of Priya and was instantly captivated.
Unlike many celebrity romances, theirs has stayed grounded. Priya, an educationist from Uttar Pradesh, has largely stayed out of the limelight, supporting Rinku from behind the scenes as he climbed the ranks of Indian cricket—from domestic circuits to IPL stardom and now, the national team.
| Year | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 2022 | Rinku sees Priya’s photo and expresses interest; they begin talking. |
| 2023 | Rinku’s IPL heroics bring national attention; Priya remains his anchor. |
| 2024 | Engagement confirmed by family sources. |
| 2026 (Planned) | Wedding ceremony scheduled. |
Shah Rukh Khan isn’t just the co-owner of KKR—he’s become a mentor and father figure to many of the franchise’s young talents. For Rinku Singh, who hails from a humble background in Aligarh, SRK’s belief in him has been transformative.
In multiple interviews, Rinku has expressed how SRK’s words of encouragement after tough matches kept him going. This personal bond explains why SRK’s public nudge about marriage felt less like gossip and more like a doting elder teasing a beloved younger brother.
The internet wasted no time. Within minutes, memes flooded Twitter and Instagram: SRK holding a wedding card, Rinku blushing mid-six, and even Priya photoshopped into KKR’s team photo—all in good spirit.
But beyond the jokes, fans poured out genuine affection. “Rinku deserves all the happiness after his hard work,” one fan wrote. “Hope his wedding is as big as his sixes!” added another.
The moment also highlighted a beautiful intersection of Indian pop culture: cricket, cinema, and family values—all wrapped in one lighthearted question.
While wedding bells are still a year away, Rinku’s focus remains on cricket. With a spot in India’s T20 and ODI squads, he’s aiming to cement his place ahead of major tournaments. But whenever he walks out to bat, fans will surely chant not just for runs—but for wedding updates too!
