Despite online speculation, the couple continue to follow each other on Instagram and have not hinted at any change in their relationship.

A fresh Instagram Story adds to the speculation

Akriti’s latest Instagram story simply read, “Misunderstood by many!” The brief message came after a screenshot of an alleged earlier Story went viral 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, said: “I have been cheated so many times but I never said a word. I still can’t believe it when I took a step forward.”It further read: “All true, all rumors are true. What you see about him on social media.”The post did not mention Shaw or anyone else by name. It remains unclear whether the story was deleted by Agarwal or disappeared after Instagram’s standard 24-hour expiration time.The cryptic nature of the two posts sparked widespread speculation on social media, with many fans linking the remarks to the cricketer. However, it has not been confirmed that either message was directed at Shaw.

No official response from the couple

Despite intense online discussion, neither Agarwal nor Shaw have addressed the rumors surrounding their relationship.And the two continue to follow each other on Instagram, and neither has deleted 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 photos with Agarwal on social media.“From hitting sixes on the field to playing the perfect innings for life, she is my perfect innings,” Shaw wrote, with the announcement drawing congratulatory messages from fans and fellow cricketers alike.

Shaw set his sights on a cricket comeback

While his personal life has dominated the headlines in recent days, Shaw remains focused on reviving his cricket career.Once regarded as one of India’s brightest batting prospects after leading the country to the Under-19 World Cup title in 2018 and scoring a century on his Test debut later that year, Shaw 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.Speaking about his ambitions recently, Shaw made it clear that his ultimate goal remains to represent India again.“If I’m not thinking about a comeback, then what’s the point? That’s why I’m playing. Who wouldn’t want to play for India? You have to be there and I’m working on it,” he said.
