All-rounder Hardik Pandya is yet again making noise not on the field, but for off-field reasons. After the cricketer was linked up with Jasmin Walia, the buzz is that now he is linked up to model-actress Mahieka Sharma. Rumors of the two possibly dating started after a faint male figure in the background of the model appeared in one of the selfies.
This image was first spotted in a Reddit thread by a user. Soon after the image started gaining traction, comments like "New tournament, new girlfriend" spread like wildfire online. Fans also quickly spotted Hardik & Mahieka following each other on Instagram, adding fuel to the strong buzz.
Another Reddit user had a unique take on the hot gossip, stating: "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 in News18, Mahieka has reportedly studied Economics and Finance before venturing into modelling and acting full-time. She has appeared in numerous music videos, indie films, and campaigns for notable brands like Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo. On the ramp shows, the model has walked for designers like Manish Malhotra, Anita Dongre, and Tarun Tahiliani.
In 2024, the actress was also named Model of the Year (New Age) at the Indian Fashion Awards and featured by Elle and Grazia as one of fashion's rising superstars. Coming back to her relationship with Pandya, neither she nor the all-rounder has officially commented on the matter. Before Mahieka, the cricketer was in a relationship with Jasmin Walia.
