His fiancée Saroj became an MP from Machhlishahr City of Uttar Pradesh in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. Her father, Toofani Saroj, is a former MP from the same city. He has also served as an MLA from the Samajwadi Party.

Meanwhile, Rinku was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 recently. The left-handed batter didn’t have a great season as he scored 206 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 153.73 with a top knock of an unbeaten 38 runs. He was retained by the franchise for Rs. 13 crore during the IPL 2025 mega auction.

However, his team, KKR, gave a flop show in the tournament. Under Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy, Knight Riders won just five games and lost seven matches out of 14 encounters, while two games ended with no result. The defending champions ended in the eighth spot in the points table with 12 points.
