Just moments after Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh switched sides in IPL. Actor model Samreen Kaur has announced her engagement to the player, ending big speculation about their relationship.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Samreen shared a series of photographs from the proposal. Captioning the post, Samreen said that of all the things life could have given them, she’s the happiest it gave them each other. Signing off the post, she wrote, “To a lifetime together,” and added a playful ‘hi fiancé’ note to the post.
The picture shows her flaunting the diamond engagement ring gifted to her by Arshdeep. In one image, Arshdeep is seen on one knee by the water at sunset, holding out a ring box. As per reports, the proposal took place in New Zealand, where India is currently on tour. The post quickly garnered attention as fans and celebrities started pouring congratulatory messages as the pictures went viral within hours.
Arshdeep made the relationship Instagram official in July this year. Samreen, 25, was born in Jammu and Kashmir and has been working as a model and as an actor in Punjabi music videos and films, including Sardaar Ji 2. She was seen backing Punjab Kings at several matches during the IPL previous year. The couple has not yet announced an official wedding date.
The announcement comes days after she addressed a social media comment where a user questioned her relationship with Arshdeep. Earlier on November 1st, the actress shared a long note on her Instagram story responding to the comments suggesting that she was dating the cricketer for fame or money. Clarifying her stance, Samreen said she had been financially independent since the age of 17 and had built a comfortable life for herself. She also spoke about double standards women face when they choose to share or keep their relationships private. Expressing disappointment over the negativity directed at women, Samreen added, “I’m especially tired of seeing women tear other women down. The unnecessary opinions, assumptions and negativity are exhausting.”
Samreen first joined the industry in 2018 when she auditioned for the Femina Miss India Beauty pageant and was selected as a state finalist representing Jammu and Kashmir. She later made an appearance in the 2021 film 83 based on the historic 1983 Cricket World Cup victory under Kapil Dev’s captaincy. She played Simran, the fiancée of Ammy Virk’s character Balwinder Singh Sandhu. She later appeared as Charu Raina in the legal thriller Nail Polish, starring Arjun Rampal and Manav Kaul.
