Months after her engagement to cricketer Prithvi Shaw, his fiancée Akriti Agarwal shared a cryptic post on her Instagram story. Shaw and the social media influencer-actress got engaged on March 8, 2026. Within the post, Akriti claimed that she had been cheated on several times.
She also wrote that each rumour and social media claim about “him” was true. Nevertheless, she didn’t mention Prithvi Shaw by name anywhere within the story.
“I got cheated so again and again, yet I never said a word. Still can’t imagine that after taking one step ahead… The whole lot is true every rumours is true. What you see on social media about him,” she wrote.
Although the story has since been faraway from her Instagram account, a screenshot of the post was later shared by a user on X.

The post has fuelled speculation about her relationship with Prithvi Shaw. Akriti had been in a long-term relationship with the cricketer, and the couple got engaged only around 4 months ago.
Prithvi Shaw Missed Entire IPL 2026 Season
After going unsold within the IPL 2025 auction, Prithvi Shaw returned to the tournament in 2026 after being re-signed by his former franchise, Delhi Capitals (DC), for ₹75 lakh within the accelerated auction. Nevertheless, his return didn’t lead to any playing time, because the right-handed batter spent the whole season on the bench without featuring in a single match.
Despite Delhi Capitals experimenting with openers corresponding to Pathum Nissanka and debutant Sahil Parakh, Shaw was not included within the playing XI. Shaw began his IPL profession with Delhi Capitals in 2018 after being bought for ₹1.2 crore.
His most successful season got here in 2021, when he scored 479 runs in 15 matches at a median of 31.93 and a strike rate of 159.13, including 4 fifties. Nevertheless, after three underwhelming seasons between 2022 and 2024, DC released him ahead of the 2025 IPL season.
