Social media influencer and actress Akriti Agarwal has once again sparked discussion online after sharing a cryptic Instagram Story reading, “Misunderstood by many!”, just days after a viral post allegedly hinting at betrayal triggered speculation about her relationship with Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw.The latest post has reignited conversation among fans, although neither Agarwal nor Shaw has commented publicly on the rumours. Despite the online speculation, the couple continue to follow each other on Instagram and have not indicated any change in their relationship status.
Fresh Instagram Story adds to speculation
Akriti’s latest Instagram Story simply read, “Misunderstood by many!” The brief message came after a screenshot of an alleged earlier Story circulated widely on social media, with many users interpreting it as a reference to Shaw.
The viral screenshot, which is no longer visible on Agarwal’s Instagram account, stated: “I got cheated so many times, yet I never said a word. Still can’t believe that after taking one step ahead.”It further read: “Everything is true, every rumours is true. What you see on social media about him.”The post did not mention Shaw or any other individual by name. It remains unclear whether the Story was deleted by Agarwal or disappeared after Instagram’s standard 24-hour expiry period.The cryptic nature of both posts prompted widespread speculation across social media, with many fans linking the remarks to the cricketer. However, there has been no confirmation that either message was directed at Shaw.
No official response from the couple
Despite intense online discussion, neither Agarwal nor Shaw has addressed the rumours surrounding their relationship.And both continue to follow each other on Instagram, and neither has removed photos or posts related to their engagement, further adding to the uncertainty surrounding the speculation.The couple announced their engagement in March when Shaw shared a series of photographs with Agarwal on social media.“From hitting sixes on the field to playing the perfect innings for life, she is my perfect innings,” Shaw had written, with the announcement drawing congratulatory messages from fans and fellow cricketers alike.
Shaw focused on cricket comeback
While his personal life has dominated headlines in recent days, Shaw continues to focus on reviving his cricket career.Once regarded as one of India’s brightest batting prospects after captaining the country to the Under-19 World Cup title in 2018 and scoring a century on his Test debut later that year, Shaw has endured a difficult period marked by inconsistent form and fitness concerns.Although he was part of the Delhi Capitals squad during IPL 2026, he did not feature in a single match.Recently speaking about his ambitions, Shaw made it clear that representing India again remains his ultimate goal.“If I don’t think about a comeback, then what’s the point? That’s why I am playing. Who doesn’t want to play for India? You have to be there, and I am working towards that,” he said.
