Actor Akriti Agarwal has become the centre of online discussion after sharing a series of cryptic Instagram Stories that prompted speculation about her relationship with Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw.
The couple, who announced their engagement in March 2026, have not publicly commented on the speculation, and there has been no confirmation that the posts were directed at Shaw.
First Instagram Story Triggers Online Buzz
Akriti first drew attention after posting a message that spoke about betrayal and rumours.
In her Instagram Story, she wrote that she had been “cheated so many times” and added that she could not believe what had happened after taking “one step ahead.” She also wrote that “every rumour is true” about “him,” without mentioning anyone by name.
The post quickly went viral on social media, with many users speculating that it referred to her relationship with Prithvi Shaw. However, Akriti did not identify any individual in her message.
Second Post Says ‘Misunderstood’
Hours later, Akriti shared another Instagram Story with a brief message:
“Misunderstood by many!”
The actor did not clarify whether she meant that her earlier post had been misunderstood or whether she herself felt misunderstood.
As of now, neither Akriti Agarwal nor Prithvi Shaw has issued any public statement explaining the posts.
Couple Still Follow Each Other on Social Media
Despite the rumours, the couple continue to follow each other on social media. Their engagement photographs and several posts celebrating their relationship also remain visible on their Instagram profiles.
There has been no official indication that their engagement has ended.

No Official Confirmation of Relationship Trouble
Although Akriti’s Instagram Stories have generated widespread discussion online, there is currently no official confirmation that the posts relate to Prithvi Shaw or that the couple are facing relationship issues.
Until either of them addresses the matter publicly, the claims circulating on social media remain speculative.
