Who is Akriti Agarwal?
Ever since Akriti Agarwal posted a viral post hinting that she has been cheated, people have only been speculating that it was her fiancé, Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw, who is the alleged accused here.
The now-deleted viral post claimed she had been "cheated on so many times". While she refrained from naming anyone explicitly, the timing and context have led fans to speculate heavily that her words were directed at the Delhi Capitals opening batsman.
For those wondering who Akriti Agarwal is, well, she is an actress and prominent social media influencer. Known for her public appearances alongside Shaw over the last couple of years, she has built her own digital footprint and has been a frequent pillar of support for the cricketer at public gatherings and festive events.
The couple first generated significant public interest when they were spotted together during festivities in 2025. Since then, she has regularly accompanied him to high-profile industry events before the duo decided to take their relationship to the next level.
They officially announced their engagement in the first half of 2026. Pictures from the dreamy ceremony showed the former India Under-19 captain down on one knee, presenting a ring to Akriti, celebrating the moment with a cricket-themed caption calling her his “perfect innings”.
Regarding the ongoing controversy, on July 5, 2026, screenshots of Akriti’s Instagram Stories began circulating online. Writing against a plain black background, Akriti expressed immense disbelief over an unnamed individual’s actions.
The text read, “I got cheated on so many times, yet I never said a word. Still can't believe that after taking one step ahead.” She reportedly followed it up with, “Everything is true; every rumour is true. What you see on social media about him.”
Though internet rumors instantly sparked claims of a split, neither has released a public comment yet. In fact, the joint, collaborative post showcasing their engagement remains live on their official Instagram handle, and they still follow each other. She later posted another story stating that all misunderstood her.
