Akriti Agarwal's Cryptic Instagram Posts Spark Speculation About Relationship With Prithvi ShawPreviousNext

Akriti Agarwal, fiancée of Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw, posted cryptic Instagram stories suggesting she had been cheated on and that rumours about Shaw were true. The posts, which did not name anyone, were later deleted, and neither Agarwal nor Shaw has publicly addressed the speculation.
