Actor and influencer Akriti Agarwal and Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw are back together, weeks after Agarwal announced the end of their engagement. Agarwal confirmed the reconciliation in a note shared on social media on Monday, taking responsibility for the split and saying she had been "misguided" by people around them.
A personal clarification
In the note, Agarwal said she had allowed the opinions of people close to the couple to shape how she viewed Shaw and their relationship, and that she had acted without giving them the honest conversation they deserved. "I feel I was misguided," she wrote, adding that she took responsibility for the decision and the hurt it caused.
She said the two have since spoken openly, understood each other, and "chosen to be together again." Asking people to respect their decision, she added that she wanted their future to be guided by their own understanding, trust and love rather than outside interference.
A timeline of the engagement
The couple got engaged in March 2026. In September, Agarwal announced the separation, saying at the time that they had different goals and circumstances for their future. The reconciliation, announced on October 12, comes less than a month after that announcement.
The development has been widely reported across entertainment and sports media, with both personalities drawing public attention throughout the year. Shaw has not issued a separate public statement on the reconciliation.
