Dubai-based travel influencer and photographer Anunay Sood, who’s known for his beautiful visuals and adventures, tragically passed away at the age of 32. The news shocked his followers and the creator community, especially because his last Instagram post showed him enjoying an event in Las Vegas just days earlier. His family confirmed his passing through a statement on his official account and asked for privacy. They did not reveal the cause of death and urged people not to speculate. As tributes poured in from all corners of the travel world, many eyes turned toward one person, Shivani Parihar, the woman fans believed he had grown close to in recent months. Shivani shared an emotional note mourning his loss, writing about how she loved him and how difficult it felt to process his sudden absence. Her message was raw, personal, and full of heartbreak. She later deleted it, but screenshots had already been widely shared.
Before Shivani, Anunay had been engaged to fellow travel creator Brinda Sharma. Their relationship was admired online, but after nearly three years together, the two parted ways. Anunay had once mentioned in a Q&A that they grew in different directions and chose to separate rather than hold onto something that no longer felt right.
After the breakup, followers quietly noticed Anunay appearing often with Shivani, matching travel destinations, similar captions, playful comments, and the kind of subtle signs that long-time followers tend to pick up. Though neither ever confirmed a relationship, their posts always suggested a close bond.
Shivani, an actor and digital creator from Jaipur with over 250k Instagram followers, is known for her calm presence and creative collaborations. She, too, had posted from Las Vegas around the same time as Anunay. It appears the event there was one of their last trips together.
In their announcement, Anunay’s family said: “We kindly ask for your understanding and privacy as we navigate this difficult time.” Amid the grief, that request serves as a reminder behind the photos and posts are real people mourning someone they deeply loved.
