Cricketer Prithvi Shaw and Akriti Agarwal announce they have parted ways, ending their engagement announced earlier this year. Shaw and Agarwal had made their relationship public in March, with social media posts from their engagement ceremony and proposal-related photos. The split is confirmed through Agarwal’s recent Instagram statement.

Agarwal says the decision is mutual and is based on “different goals and circumstances” for their future. She adds that they continue to love and care for each other, but they have accepted their paths are no longer meant to be together. She also asks for privacy and discourages speculation about the reasons behind the separation. Some reporting notes that Agarwal’s earlier cryptic July social media activity had led to speculation, though it was not formally linked to Shaw at the time.

After the announcement, additional developments include Shaw removing most posts from his Instagram profile, leaving only one visible post. Other outlets focus mainly on Agarwal’s emotional wording and her description of the split, while brief mentions from additional sources reiterate the timing and public nature of the engagement and call-off.
