January 2026 — Reality TV star Akriti Negi has officially confirmed her breakup with boyfriend Anshumat Srivastava, ending days of speculation around their relationship. Akriti shared the update through her Instagram Stories, keeping her message short and respectful.
“Anshumat and I are no longer together. We’ve chosen to part ways respectfully and ask everyone to please respect our space and privacy during this time. Thank you for your understanding,” she wrote.
Social Media Clues Sparked Breakup Rumours
Breakup rumours started circulating after fans noticed changes on the couple’s social media accounts. Akriti and Anshumat unfollowed each other and removed several pictures they had shared together.
As these signs became more visible, speculation quickly spread across platforms like Instagram and X.
Online Trolling Followed the Speculation
As rumours grew, Akriti became a target of online trolling. Many users began making assumptions about the reason behind the breakup, often without facts.
Seeing the negativity, Anshumat Srivastava spoke up in Akriti’s support. He shared a strong message on his Instagram Stories, urging people to be kinder online.
“Be kind. You never know what someone is quietly fighting. I usually refrain from putting up stories like this but can’t be quiet when someone who means a lot to me is being put down for no reason,” he wrote.
He also criticised the trend of online judgment. “Tearing someone down for clicks doesn’t make you strong. It just makes you look stupid,” he added.
Life in the Spotlight After Reality TV Fame
Akriti rose to fame after winning Splitsvilla 15, a season that kept her in the public eye even after it ended. Her relationship with Anshumat also attracted attention, with fans closely following their journey.
Anshumat had earlier shown public support for Akriti when she appeared on Rise And Fall, hosted by Ashneer Grover, which further fuelled interest in their relationship.
Before Anshumat, Akriti was linked to Jaswanth Bopanna, her Splitsvilla 15 co-winner. The duo won the show after defeating Harsh Arora and Rushali Yadav in the finale.
A Quiet End, Not a Public Fight
Both Akriti and Anshumat have chosen to handle the breakup with maturity and dignity. While fans remain curious, the couple has clearly asked for space as they move on separately.
