Priya Saroj, Lok Sabha MP from the Samajwadi Party and wife of cricketer Rinku Singh, is facing criticism. She is being accused of indirectly bringing her husband into politics through a recent viral video, which has triggered mixed reactions online.
The incident began when she visited a Muslim family to celebrate Eid. During the visit, she made a video call to Rinku Singh so that he could wish them as well. While the gesture appeared normal, the recording of the moment raised questions.
Critics argue that the video was recorded for political benefit. Many users felt that the act was unnecessary and could influence public perception. This led to a wave of criticism directed at Priya Saroj across social media platforms.
A section of the public expressed concern over Rinku Singh’s involvement. They believe he should remain focused on his cricket career and avoid political associations. As an active member of the Indian T20 squad, his priority should remain national duty.
Some social media users also pointed out that Rinku appeared uncomfortable during the call. They felt that he may have been placed in a situation where he was not fully willing to participate, which added to the ongoing criticism.
Despite the backlash, a few users defended Priya Saroj’s actions. They argued that the couple has the right to share such moments if they choose. According to them, public opinion should not interfere in personal decisions unless there is clear harm.
Others highlighted that Rinku’s career is governed by professional cricket bodies. The Board of Control for Cricket in India operates in a structured and non political manner. They believe his performance and focus will not be affected by such incidents.
The debate continues to grow on social media. While some see it as an unnecessary political gesture, others view it as a harmless interaction. The incident has sparked wider discussions about privacy, responsibility, and public perception.
