Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw and actress Akriti Agarwal have mutually ended their engagement, months after announcing plans to marry.
Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw and actress Akriti Agarwal have reportedly called off their engagement about six months after announcing plans to marry.
The couple got engaged on March 8 this year and shared pictures from the occasion on social media. Akriti has now confirmed that the relationship has ended, saying the decision was mutual.
In a statement, Akriti said the couple realised that differences in their future goals, circumstances and present responsibilities had made it difficult for them to move forward together.
She stressed that the separation was not due to a lack of affection or respect. According to Akriti, both continue to have love and respect for each other but ultimately concluded that their paths could no longer continue in the same direction.
Akriti also wished both Shaw and herself peace, happiness and success in the future. She asked fans and followers to respect their privacy as they navigate the personal transition.
The actress further urged people not to speculate about the reasons for their separation or make assumptions about what may have happened between them.
Shaw has not publicly responded to Akriti’s statement so far.
The couple attracted considerable attention when they announced their engagement earlier this year. Photos shared online showed Shaw proposing to Akriti, followed by pictures from their engagement celebrations.
Their decision to separate before marriage has renewed interest among their followers, particularly because the engagement took place only a few months earlier.
Akriti’s request for privacy suggests that the former couple does not intend to publicly discuss the details behind their decision. She has not provided further information beyond explaining that differences involving their future goals, circumstances and responsibilities contributed to the mutual decision.
For now, neither Shaw nor Akriti has announced further details about their future plans or indicated whether they will comment on the matter again.
