Akriti Agarwal Confirms Separation
Akriti announced the end of the relationship in an emotional social media statement. She said that despite the love and care between them, the couple had accepted that their paths were no longer together.
She also requested people to respect their privacy and avoid creating speculation about the reasons behind their decision.
Importantly, no specific reason for the breakup has been publicly disclosed by either Akriti or Prithvi Shaw. Reports indicate that Akriti’s statement described the decision as mutual and linked it to differences in their future goals.
Engagement Took Place in March
Prithvi Shaw and Akriti Agarwal had made their relationship public before getting engaged in March. Their engagement came after they had reportedly been together for some time.
The relationship had also faced speculation earlier this year. In July, an Instagram post by Akriti triggered breakup rumours, although she subsequently clarified the situation at the time. The Indian Express had reported that the earlier post had sparked speculation but was not initially confirmed as a breakup announcement.
The latest statement, however, confirms that the relationship has now ended.
Prithvi Shaw’s Cricket Career
The development comes as Shaw continues his efforts to revive his cricket career and return to the Indian team.
Shaw made his international debut for India in 2018 and has played five Tests, six ODIs and one T20I. His last international appearance came in July 2021.
In March 2026, Shaw had spoken about his comeback ambitions and said he was working hard to return to the Indian side. He has also remained active in domestic cricket.
The 26-year-old was also involved in the 2026 IPL auction, where his name initially went unsold before Delhi Capitals eventually secured him.
No Public Details About Why They Split
While the announcement has generated significant discussion online, there is currently no confirmed information about any specific incident or third person being responsible for the separation.
Akriti’s statement specifically asked people not to make assumptions about the breakup. For now, the only confirmed information is that the engagement has ended and the two have decided to move forward separately.
