One of Kaur’s first major national platforms was the Femina Miss India 2018 pageant, where she represented Jammu and Kashmir and emerged as a finalist. The competition brought her wider visibility and opened up opportunities in modelling and entertainment.
The pageant became an important early milestone in her career, giving her a platform beyond regional modelling assignments. She subsequently began exploring acting, appearing in films and digital productions.
Which films and web series has Samreen Kaur appeared in?
Kaur’s screen credits include Kabir Khan’s 83, the film based on India’s historic 1983 Cricket World Cup victory. She also appeared in the legal thriller Nail Polish, which featured Arjun Rampal and Manav Kaul, and the Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 2.
While these projects gave her exposure to different audiences, she has also worked in music videos, a format that has helped her reach listeners and viewers beyond cinema.

Kaur has featured in music videos associated with several well-known names in the Indian music industry, including Badshah, Guru Randhawa and Jubin Nautiyal. Her credits include Baawla and Tujhe Bhoolna Toh Chaaha, among other projects.
She has also appeared in videos featuring Punjabi artists such as Jass Manak and Maninder Buttar. Alongside her professional assignments, Kaur maintains an active social media presence, sharing updates on fashion, travel and work.
How did Samreen Kaur and Arshdeep Singh’s relationship become public?
Speculation about the couple gathered pace during IPL 2026, when Kaur was spotted cheering for Punjab Kings at several matches. Pictures and videos of the two together, including sightings in Dharamshala, added to the rumours.
Arshdeep ended the speculation in July 2026 by sharing photographs with Kaur on Instagram and captioning them “My Person”. Their relationship subsequently became more visible through social media posts and appearances together.
In early November, Kaur also responded to online criticism questioning her relationship with the cricketer. In an Instagram statement, she said she had been working since she was 17 and had built her own professional and financial independence. Arshdeep publicly supported her.
When did Arshdeep Singh and Samreen Kaur get engaged?
The couple announced their engagement on November 11, 2026, while in New Zealand, where Arshdeep is part of India's squad for the ODI series. Their Instagram photographs showed the cricketer placing a ring on Kaur’s finger.
Sharing the news, Kaur wrote: “And of all the things life could have given us, I’m the happiest it gave us each other. To a lifetime together. 11.11.2026 (Hi Fiance).”
The engagement came just hours after Arshdeep’s move from Punjab Kings to Mumbai Indians was confirmed ahead of IPL 2027, in a trade involving Hardik Pandya. For Kaur, the announcement has brought renewed attention to a career that spans pageants, acting, modelling and music videos. The couple have not announced a wedding date.
