Hardik Pandya has once again hogged the headlines, and not for his on-field performance, but for his personal rendezvous. Months after the star cricketer separated from his ex-wife, Natasa Stankovic, he has landed himself in a fresh buzz surrounding his alleged link-up with model-turned-actress, Mahieka Sharma. The chatter, which began on Reddit and quickly spread onto Instagram, has sparked curiosity among fans who are still closely following Hardik’s personal life.
Is Hardik Pandya dating Mahieka Sharma?
Hardik Pandya and Natasha Stankovic tied the knot in 2020 and welcomed their son, Agastya, soon after. However, their marital bliss hit a rough patch, and the couple separated earlier in 2025. The duo issued a joint statement, confirming that the split was amicable and that their son would remain their top priority. While their dignified divorce temporarily quietened rumours, it also sparked greater curiosity about Hardik’s future relationships.
Now, the eagle-eyed netizens have started linking Hardik Pandya with Mahieka Sharma. Speculations began when a faint male figure was seen in the background of the model’s selfie. Another post hinted at jersey number 33, often associated with Hardik. Another post by the model featured her wearing a leopard print robe, which was similar to Hardik’s. Furthermore, both Hardik and Mahieka follow each other on Instagram, adding fuel to the gossip.
Netizens react to Hardik Pandya’s alleged relationship with Mahieka Sharma
Soon after, comments like “New tournament, new girlfriend” began circulating online. Not everyone joined the frenzy, though. One Instagram 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.” Another commented, “Imagine getting caught because of vela people on Instagram.”
The comment section soon turned into a war zone, with some pointing out that people would once again blame this on Natasa as well. Others took it a step further and turned it into a feminist debate. A comment read, “I am enjoying Hardik’s f**k era – as clearly feminists have told us that body count doesn’t matter so.” A user penned, “I like how men defend this, and if it were the other way around, they would have spammed the comments with ‘R’ word.”
Who is Mahieka Sharma?
According to reports, Mahieka Sharma was an Economics and Finance student before turning into a full-time model and actress. She had appeared in several advertisements for Tanishq, Vivo and Uniqlo, as well as various indie films and music videos. On the runway, she has collaborated with designers such as Manish Malhotra, Anita Dongre, and Tarun Tahiliani.
