In the digital era, whatever happens online rarely stays behind the curtains. The same has happened with Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw, as his personal life has become a center of social media trolling. Just a few months after happily announcing their engagement to the world, a mysterious post on Prithvi Shaw’s fiancée Akriti’s Instagram page has left fans wondering if the couple is headed for a split.
It all started when people noticed a very emotional message uploaded as an Instagram Story on Akriti’s account. Even though the post was deleted very quickly, alert fans took screenshots, and it immediately went viral on portals like Twitter (X) and Reddit.
Akriti did not take Prithvi’s name directly, but what she wrote sounded like someone dealing with a lot of heartbreak and broken trust. The viral post 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 rumour is true. What you see on social media about him.”

When she mentioned “taking one step ahead,” fans immediately connected it to their engagement back in March 2026. Back then, Prithvi had shared beautiful photos from the ceremony, happily writing that he found his “perfect innings” for life. Because they looked so happy just a few months ago, this sudden message shocked everyone. Her words saying “every rumor is true” also made people wonder if old internet gossip about the cricketer’s personal life actually had some truth to it.
After the post went viral, internet users started looking for clues. At first, some noticed that the couple had briefly unfollowed each other. However, a little later, they were back on each other’s follower lists, and their engagement photos were still up on their profiles.
To make things even more confusing, Akriti posted another very short message on her story shortly after deleting the first one. It simply said: “Misunderstood by many!”
This left followers totally puzzled. Was her first emotional post just a big misunderstanding that people took out of context? Or was she just trying to control the damage because the media and fans started talking about it so heavily? It is hard to tell.
This personal drama comes at a very tough time for Prithvi Shaw’s cricket career. A few years ago, he was called the next big superstar of Indian cricket, even drawing comparisons to the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. But lately, things haven’t been easy for the young batsman. He has struggled with fitness, bad form, and a few off-field altercations that made the news.
In fact, Prithvi hasn’t played for the Indian national team in nearly five years, and he didn’t get to play a single match in the recent IPL 2026 season for the Delhi Capitals. Even though he recently promised his fans that he is working hard to make a strong comeback, personal distractions like this can make things much harder. So far, neither Prithvi nor Akriti has given a clear answer about what really happened, leaving fans hoping that the couple can sort things out. We’ll keep you updated with the latest on this controversy.
