The internet was abuzz on Valentine's Day when a photo of Prithvi Shaw, the Indian cricket star, and his supposed girlfriend Niddhi Tapadia went viral.

Shaw had captioned the picture with "Happy valentines my wifey" along with a heart and kiss emoji. The Indian cricket star has never before shared any pictures linking him to a romantic partner, and so this post came as a surprise to many of his followers.

Once the pictures started circulating, Shaw addressed the rumours by posting a story on Instagram saying that the images were fake. In the post, he claimed that someone had been editing his pictures and posting them online. He requested his followers to ignore the tags and messages.
