Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya seems to be living a new, happier chapter of his life. Months after his separation from Natasa Stankovic in 2024, the all-rounder has been spotted spending quality time with model and actress Mahieka Sharma.
On Tuesday, Hardik took to his Instagram account and shared a series of candid pictures that went viral in no time. One such photo saw Hardik and Mahieka washing a car together while laughing and teasing each other. Other images showed the duo enjoying light-hearted moments, and that seemed to indicate Hardik is no longer keeping his relationship private. In another snapshot from his ‘gram story, the lovebirds were seen getting cosy in the ocean on a romantic getaway. Fans also pointed out how relaxed and content Hardik looked, especially when he was spending time with his son Agastya.
Mahieka Sharma pursued modelling and acting shortly after graduating with a degree in Economics and Finance. A few music videos, independent films, and high-end brand commercials, like Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo, have kept her in the limelight over these years. She has also walked for some famous Indian designers like Manish Malhotra, Anita Dongre, and Tarun Tahiliani. Her increasing popularity in the fashion world earned her the title “Model of the Year (New Age)” at the Indian Fashion Awards 2024. Known to be quite the professional, Mahieka once impressed her fans by walking on the ramp despite suffering from a bad eye infection.
Prior to his reported relationship with Mahieka, Hardik was married to Natasa Stankovic. The couple-who married in May 2020 and renewed their vows in February 2023-announced their separation in July 2024. In a joint statement, they said that parting ways was a mutual decision made while considering “respect, love and the best interests of their family.”
