Cricketer Hardik Pandya has finally gone official with his new relationship, ending months of speculation. Two years since his split from Natasa Stankovic, the all-rounder confirmed that he is currently dating model Mahieka Sharma. The confirmation came as the couple went out together for Diwali festivities, grabbing everyone’s attention with their matching festive outfits.
Spotted at an A-list Diwali bash on Monday, Hardik and Mahieka twinned in bold red traditional wear, creating a social media storm. Mahieka was poised in a red bandhani salwar suit, topped with black leggings and white slip-ons. Keeping things low-key but celebratory, she oozed charm. Hardik teamed up with her in a red kurta, black trousers, and loafers, adding a touch of sophistication with dark shades and gold accents. Their chemistry and similar looks had fans declaring them cricket and fashion’s “new power couple.”
The Diwali look came after their recent beach vacation to Hardik’s birthday celebration. Mahieka had posted peeks at their holiday on Instagram, including a clip of her preparing to leave the house in a pink outfit and a Story with Hardik, with emojis suggesting romance and the song “Daddy’s Home” as background music.

Mahieka Sharma, seven years Hardik’s junior, is a household name in Indian fashion. She has been featured on the cover of ELLE and Grazia, and modelled at the Indian Fashion Awards winning the Model of the Year award. Through work with brands Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo, and walking for the creations of designers Tarun Tahiliani and Manish Malhotra, Mahieka is the face to watch — and now, half of a much-lauded new power couple.
