Indian cricket player Hardik Pandya has again been the focal point of attention—not for his game, but for his supposed new romance. Social media dwellers have been buzzing with gossip about his supposed relationship with up-and-coming model and actress Mahieka Sharma. The hype began when a Reddit post referred to a clear male silhouette standing in the background of one of Mahieka’s self-portraits, causing speculations among fans as to whether it was none other than Hardik himself. Although neither side has officially confirmed or disputed the relationship, Mahieka Sharma’s interest has skyrocketed.
Who Is Mahieka Sharma?
Mahieka Sharma is a popular name in the Indian entertainment and fashion field. She pursued a degree in Economics and Finance before turning full-time model. Her educational background speaks of her disciplined nature, which she has applied professionally as well. Mahieka has worked in music videos, independent movies, and major ad campaigns for Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo.
In the world of fashion, Mahieka has struttered for top Indian designers such as Manish Malhotra, Anita Dongre, and Tarun Tahiliani. Her rising status in the industry was acknowledged in 2024 when she won the “Model of the Year (New Age)” award at the Indian Fashion Awards.
Resilience and Professionalism On the Ramp
Mahieka is also renowned for her professionalism and resilience. In 2024, just before an important fashion event, she developed a severe eye infection. Despite the physical discomfort, she chose to honour her commitment and walked the ramp confidently. In another instance during a Gaurav Gupta show, her heel snapped mid-walk on a challenging staircase-style ramp. Yet she didn’t stop or panic—she continued with grace. Looking back on the experience during an interview with Elle, she stated, “That walk and show were so important to me this season. When the crazy level of affection for that walk began to roll in, I felt revitalized, heard and valued.”
Hardik’s Recent Breakup with Natasa Stankovic
This alleged relationship follows shortly after the confirmed breakup of Hardik and Natasa Stankovic. The two were wed in 2020 and took their vows again in 2023 before announcing their breakup in July 2024. The two issued a joint statement in which they claimed mutual respect and agreed to co-parent their son, Agastya, as they requested privacy during the transition period.
