Cricketer Hardik Pandya has once again found himself in the spotlight, this time for reasons beyond cricket. Social media is rife with speculation that he may be seeing model-actor Mahieka Sharma, following his recent separation from Natasa Stankovic.
The rumours gained momentum after a Reddit thread highlighted a faint male figure in the background of one of Mahieka’s selfies, which fans believe could be Pandya. While neither Hardik nor Mahieka has addressed the speculation, the chatter has quickly gone viral.
Who is Mahieka Sharma?
Mahieka, who studied Economics and Finance, switched to modelling and acting early in her career. She has appeared in campaigns for top brands like Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo and has walked the ramp for designers including Manish Malhotra, Anita Dongre, and Tarun Tahiliani.
Her rising profile earned her the ‘Model of the Year (New Age)’ award at the 2024 Indian Fashion Awards. Known for her professionalism, Mahieka has often turned challenges into moments of strength — whether walking with a severe eye infection or handling a broken heel during a crucial Gaurav Gupta runway show.
The Backdrop
This buzz comes months after Hardik and Serbian actor-model Natasa Stankovic officially ended their marriage in July 2024. The two had tied the knot in 2020 with ceremonies in both Hindu and Christian traditions.
For now, the connection between Pandya and Mahieka remains speculative, but it has already captured fans’ imagination across social media.
