Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw and actor Akriti Agarwal have reportedly decided to give their relationship another chance, weeks after announcing the end of their engagement. On October 12, 2026, Akriti shared a statement on social media in which she took responsibility for calling off the engagement and said that the opinions of people close to her had influenced her decision.
Akriti, who announced her engagement to Prithvi in March 2026, confirmed their separation in September. In her latest statement, she revealed that the two have since had an open conversation about their differences and chosen to move forward together.
Akriti Agarwal Says She Was Misguided Before Calling Off Engagement
In her social media note, Akriti reflected on her decision to end the engagement, acknowledging that she had allowed the opinions of people around her to influence how she viewed her relationship with Prithvi.
“When I called off our engagement, I let the opinions of people close to me, who seemed to know our relationship better than we did, influence how I saw my fiancé and our relationship. I feel I was misguided, and I made a decision without giving us the honest conversation we deserved. I take responsibility for that decision and the hurt it caused,” she wrote.
Akriti also confirmed that the couple had spoken openly since their separation and decided to reunite. She emphasised that they wanted to make decisions about their future based on their own understanding of each other rather than outside opinions.
“We have since spoken openly, understood each other and chosen to be together again. Together, we are enough for each other, and we don’t need anyone else. This time, I want our future to be guided by our own understanding, trust and love. Please respect our decision as we begin again,” she added.
The statement marks a change from Akriti’s September announcement, when she said that the two had different goals and circumstances and had decided to part ways. Their latest update suggests that they have since reconsidered that decision.
What Happened Between Akriti Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw?
Prithvi Shaw and Akriti Agarwal announced their engagement in March 2026. Their relationship subsequently attracted attention when Akriti confirmed in September that they had called off the engagement.
At the time, she said that they loved and cared for each other but had accepted that their paths were not meant to remain together. She also requested privacy and urged people not to speculate about the reasons behind their separation.
The couple’s relationship had already drawn public attention in July, when Akriti shared a cryptic social media post about being cheated on. The post prompted speculation about a possible rift between the two. Akriti later clarified that she had not named Prithvi in the post and asked people to refrain from making assumptions about their relationship.
With her latest statement, Akriti has now shared her perspective on the breakup and confirmed that the couple has chosen to work through their differences. She has also asked the public to respect their decision as they attempt to move forward together.
The couple’s reconciliation comes only weeks after their engagement breakup became public, bringing a new development to a relationship that has attracted considerable attention on social media.
