Akriti Agarwal's Cheating Hint

Before the couple announced their split, Agarwal had seemingly sparked speculation about trouble in her relationship. In July 2026, she shared an Instagram story that appeared to suggest she had been cheated on, although the post did not name anyone.

The story read, "I got cheated so many times, yet I never said a word. Still can't believe that after taking one step ahead. Everything is true every rumours is true. What you see on social media about him."

The screenshot later surfaced on Reddit, where it was shared with the caption, "Cheating allegations on Shaw: Instagram story of Akriti Agarwal, fiancee of Prithvi. The couple was recently engaged." However, the original story did not identify Shaw by name.

Shaw and Agarwal made their engagement public in March 2026. The cricketer announced the news on Instagram with a romantic caption, writing, "From sixes on the field to a lifetime of hits off it. She’s is my perfect innings!"

In May, Shaw also shared a birthday post for Agarwal, giving fans a glimpse into their relationship.
