Mumbai, January 28, 2026: Reality TV star Akriti Negi — best known for winning Splitsvilla 15 and recently appearing on Rise and Fall — has officially announced her breakup with boyfriend Anshumat Srivastava. The confirmation came directly from Akriti via her Instagram Stories, putting an end to weeks of social media speculation.

 What Akriti Said

In her statement, Akriti wrote that she and Anshumat are no longer together and that the decision was a mutual one. She thanked fans for their past support and asked for privacy and respect as they both navigate this transition.

 How It Started

The rumours began after:

• The couple unfollowed each other on Instagram, and

• Both removed several joint photos from their social media profiles.

This sparked intense fan discussion and online speculation that a breakup was imminent.

 Anshumat’s Response

Amid the chatter and online criticism directed at Akriti, Anshumat Srivastava publicly defended her on his Instagram Stories. He urged followers to be kind and compassionate, reminding people that trolling or attacking someone online “for clicks” is unacceptable. His reaction tempered some of the negativity surrounding the situation.

 Official Tone and Context

Neither Akriti nor Anshumat elaborated on the specific reasons behind the split. The public messaging has centred around mutual respect and maintaining dignity while parting ways, rather than airing personal details.

 Background

The couple had been in the public eye for several months, with their relationship visible in reality show circles and on social media. Prior to this relationship, Akriti was also linked with fellow reality star Jashwanth Bopanna, a pairing that ended in early 2025.
