Alongside the families of Rinku and Priya, several prominent political figures attended the ceremony, including Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Dimple Yadav, Jaya Bachchan, Ram Gopal Yadav, and Shivpal Yadav.

Former India cricketer Praveen Kumar was present and offered his congratulations.
Singh, from Aligarh, has played two ODIs and 33 T20Is for India in recent years and is a key member of the IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, who won the title in the 2024 season. Saroj, 26, is a first-time MP representing Jaunpur’s Machhlishahr constituency.
