Even when my ticket was announced, I was attending online classes for those exams.&#8221; <br \/>Educated at the Air Force Golden Jubilee Institute in New Delhi, Delhi University, and Amity University, Noida, Priya practiced law in the Supreme Court before her foray into politics. Her legal background and fresh perspective have made her a key player in her constituency and beyond. <br \/>Recently, Priya made headlines due to rumours of her engagement to Indian cricketer <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/rinku-singh\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Rinku Singh<\/a>, known for his IPL heroics and international cricketing achievements. <\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"k7lcu\">\n<p>What does the horoscope of struggling Prithvi Shaw say?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, her father, Tufani Saroj, clarified the situation to India TV Digital, saying, &#8220;Priya is in Thiruvananthapuram for some work. The news of her engagement is completely wrong. Yes, talks are on between the families, but no formal decisions have been made.&#8221; <br \/>Rinku Singh, 27, rose to fame with his stellar performances for Kolkata Knight Riders, particularly during a memorable IPL match where he hit five consecutive sixes. His success has extended to the international stage, where he has become a dependable finisher for the Indian cricket team. <br \/>While both Priya and Rinku have remained tight-lipped about the rumours, the speculation highlights the intersection of two young, successful individuals making their mark in their respective fields. For Priya Saroj, politics was an unexpected path, but her early success signals a promising future in public service.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
