Indian opener Prithvi Shaw just got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Akriti Agarwal, on Sunday, March 8, 2026. While everyone else was glued to the India vs New Zealand T20 World Cup final, Shaw decided to drop the news on Instagram. He posted a bunch of gorgeous photos from the ceremony and threw in a cricket pun for good measure: “From sixes on the field to a lifetime of hits off it. She is my perfect innings! #justengaged.” Funny thing is, just a few days ago, the two of them showed up together at the wedding of Shaw’s childhood friend, Arjun Tendulkar, and Saaniya Chandhok in Mumbai. Looks like there’s a lot to celebrate for Shaw these days, both on and off the field.
Akriti Agarwal made a name for herself as a social media influencer and actress, and her following just keeps growing. She was born on May 2, 2003, in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and spent her early years there before moving to Mumbai with her family as a teenager. She finished school back home, then went on to study for a Bachelor of Management Studies at Nirmala Memorial Foundation College in Mumbai.
Her journey as a content creator really took off during the COVID-19 lockdown. She started on TikTok, posting dance and lip-sync videos that quickly got people’s attention. When TikTok got banned in India, she didn’t slow down but just switched gears and moved to Instagram and YouTube. Now, Akriti has over 3.4 million followers on Instagram, almost twice as many as her fiancé. Most of her content centres on fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, and it’s clear her audience loves what she does.
Prithvi Shaw has plenty to celebrate right now. He’s just hit a big personal milestone, and he’s on the verge of a major comeback in his career. Things haven’t been easy for him lately. He struggled with fitness and form, and he went unsold at the 2025 auction. But now, at 26, he’s back in the game. Delhi Capitals grabbed him for his base price of 75 lakh for IPL 2026.
