Hardik Pandya sparks new dating rumours with Model Mahieka Sharma

 Fans were quick to connect the dots after spotting Pandya in the background of one of Sharma’s selfies, reigniting heated discussions on social media.

Mahieka Sharma has built an impressive portfolio since entering the fashion industry. With 41.6k followers on Instagram, she has endorsed major brands such as Tanishq, Vivo and Uniqlo, and walked the ramp for top designers including Anita Dongre, Ritu Kumar, Tarun Tahiliani, Manish Malhotra and Amit Aggarwal. In 2024, Sharma won the Model of the Year (New Age) award at the Indian Fashion Awards and was named Model of the Season by Elle magazine. She has also ventured into acting, appearing in music videos for rapper Raga and playing minor roles in Orlando Von Einsiedel’s documentary Into the Dusk and Omung Kumar’s biopic Narendra Modi (2019).

The rumours began circulating after a viral Reddit post highlighted Pandya’s presence in the backdrop of Sharma’s Dubai-shot selfie. Observant fans pointed out that both Pandya and Sharma follow each other on Instagram, and Sharma shared a story featuring the iconic jersey number 33—the number synonymous with Pandya. Further speculation arose when social media users noticed identical bathrobes worn by the pair in separate posts.

Pandya, who finalized his divorce from Serbian dancer and model Nataša Stanković in 2024, first made headlines with dating rumours involving British singer and TV personality Jasmin Walia earlier this year. While Pandya and Walia reportedly enjoyed holidays together and shared affectionate posts, they eventually parted ways after a few months.

Currently in Dubai for the Asia Cup 2025, Pandya’s sizzling performance on the field has kept fans engrossed. Reports suggest that Sharma may also be in Dubai, though neither has confirmed or denied their alleged relationship. As discussions heat up online, followers are eagerly awaiting an official statement from the cricketer or the model.

With neither Hardik nor Mahieka addressing the link-up rumours publicly, speculation is set to continue. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
