As she mentioned, ‘everything is true’, netizens had started to speculate about a wrong turn in the relationship between Akriti and Prithvi. Though Akriti did not mention anyone’s name in her Instagram story.
Why social media users linked the post to Prithvi Shaw
As Akriti did not mention Prithvi in her story, it is now very hard to tell whether those harsh words were completely dedicated to the controversial cricketer. But as soon as the story caught netizens’ attention, they instantly linked that with Prithvi Shaw, mostly because of his controversial past.
Prithvi was considered one of the most talented youngsters a few years back, who claimed that ranks from the age division cricket. He was even compared with legendary Sachin Tendulkar only because of his talent and skills. Prithvi made his debut for the Indian Test cricket team and played a few matches before disappearing completely from the scene.
Multiple injuries, fitness issues, lack of form, and mostly a series of off-the-field controversies took the momentum away from the top-order batter. Because of his controversial lifestyle, people found the cricketer in the news mostly for the wrong reasons.
He is no longer a young or emerging cricketer. The opener’s IPL 2026 season is over without playing a single match for the Delhi Capitals, and he is in search of a path that can help him to repackage his professional career.
Have Prithvi Shaw or Akriti Agarwal addressed the speculation?
As of now, there is no official clarification from Akriti’s end, nor from Prithvi’s end. As there is no official response from either end, netizens are not aware of why she needed to share such a heartbreaking message in the public domain.
It was also widely reported that she deleted all photos from their engagement and unfollowed him across her social media accounts.
What is the latest on Prithvi Shaw and Akriti Agarwal’s relationship row?
Did they break up even after the engagement? As of now, there is nothing like that.
But on a positive note, as per fresh updates, they have again started following each other, which can be an indication of a probable patch-up. Also, all the photos are back on Instagram.
