Cricketer Hardik Pandya is all over the news once again. However, this time for his personal life rather than his cricket. Months after his divorce from Natasa Stankovic and rumoured breakup with singer Jasmin Walia, buzz is that he is dating model and actress Mahieka Sharma.
How the rumours started
Rumours about Hardik and model Mahieka Sharma started after a Reddit thread spotted a faint male figure in the background of one of Mahieka’s selfies. Another post pointed out the jersey number 33, famously worn by Hardik. Soon after, comments like “New tournament, new girlfriend” spread online. Fans also noted that both Hardik and Mahieka follow each other on Instagram, adding fuel to the gossip.Not everyone joined the frenzy, though. One Reddit user pointed out: “Not to dwell in any drama but I follow her and I like a lot of cricket related reels. She has liked a lot of Hardik based reels which made me surprised even. This also means maybe they are friends.”
Who Is Mahieka Sharma?
According to a report published in News18, Mahieka reportedly studied Economics and Finance before pursuing modelling and acting full-time. She has appeared in music videos, indie films, and campaigns for brands like Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo. On the runway, she’s walked for designers including Manish Malhotra, Anita Dongre, and Tarun Tahiliani. In 2024, she was named Model of the Year (New Age) at the Indian Fashion Awards and featured by Elle and Grazia as one of fashion’s rising stars.So far, neither Hardik Pandya nor Mahieka Sharma has confirmed the rumours. Before this, Hardik was in a relationship with Jasmin Walia.
