Who Is Samreen Kaur? The Actor and Former Miss India Finalist Now Engaged to Arshdeep Singh
The date was chosen with some care: 11.11.2026.
That was how Samreen Kaur marked the moment in her Instagram post, beneath photographs from New Zealand in which India pacer Arshdeep Singh goes down on one knee. Her caption read, in part: "To a lifetime together." She signed it off with "Hi fiancé".
Hardik Pandya was among the first to respond: "Congratulations. God bless you both."
The news arrived in an eventful week for Arshdeep, who had just been traded from Punjab Kings to Mumbai Indians ahead of IPL 2027. But the more common question online has been a simpler one. Who is Samreen Kaur?
From pageant to screen
Kaur is from Jammu and Kashmir. Her public career began when she reached the finals of Femina Miss India 2018, representing the state.
The pageant opened doors to modelling, and acting followed. Her credits include:
83, Kabir Khan's film about India's 1983 World Cup victory
Sardaar Ji 2, the Punjabi film
Nail Polish, the ZEE5 web series
She is also a familiar face from music videos, having appeared alongside Guru Randhawa, Badshah and Jubin Nautiyal, including the songs Baawla and Tujhe Bhoolna Toh Chaaha.
There is a small symmetry in her filmography. One of her best-known screen credits is a film about Indian cricket. She is now engaged to one of its leading fast bowlers.
How the relationship became public
The two had been linked for some time before either said anything. Speculation grew after Kaur was seen supporting Punjab Kings during IPL 2026.
In July, Arshdeep posted two photographs with her and a two-word caption: "My Person." Later, after India's first ODI against New Zealand in Auckland, he explained a wicket celebration as being "for my girlfriend".
A note on the scrutiny
Public relationships between cricketers and actors attract a particular kind of attention in India, not all of it kind. Earlier this month, Kaur wrote on social media: "The more I see the world, the more I realise how hypocritical people on social media can be." Arshdeep replied that he was proud of her, and asked people to "Live and let live".
It is a reasonable request. The engagement is a private milestone that two public people have chosen to share. What deserves attention is the part they offered: a proposal, a ring and a carefully chosen date.
What comes next
Neither has announced wedding plans. For now, Arshdeep's professional calendar is full, with India's tour of New Zealand and a new IPL franchise ahead. Kaur's next acting projects have not been officially announced.
