A public announcement

Punjabi actress and model Samreen Kaur has revealed that she is engaged to India pace bowler Arshdeep Singh. Images from the proposal, which took place in New Zealand, were posted to Instagram on Wednesday, November 11, and show the cricketer kneeling as he asked her to marry him, while Kaur is seen wearing a diamond ring.

Alongside the photographs, Kaur wrote a brief message expressing gratitude for the relationship and looking ahead to a shared life. The post was dated 11.11.2026 and included a playful line addressed to her fiancé. Congratulations quickly appeared in the comments from fans, friends and figures within the cricket community.

Response to online criticism

The engagement follows a period of scrutiny online. On November 1, Kaur published a lengthy note on her Instagram story rejecting claims that her relationship was driven by money or a desire for publicity. She said she had been financially independent since she was 17 and had built her own career.

She also pointed to what she described as conflicting expectations placed on women, noting that both discreet and open displays of affection were criticised. Kaur said she and her team would block accounts that visited her profile only to spread negativity. Arshdeep Singh shared her statement on his own profile, voicing support for her and urging commentators to let people live without constant judgment.

Background

Samreen Kaur was born in 2001 in Jammu and Kashmir and started out in modelling before moving into acting, including appearances in ramp shows and Punjabi productions. Arshdeep Singh is a member of India’s cricket squad. The couple has not released any further details about wedding plans beyond the date referenced in Kaur’s post.

What next

With the engagement now public, the couple has signalled a focus on their future together. Further information about their plans has not been announced.
