Mumbai: Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya has seemingly confirmed his relationship with model Mahieka Sharma. Hours after being spotted together at Mumbai airport, the all-rounder shared a series of Instagram stories featuring Sharma, ahead of his 32nd birthday on October 11.
In one story, Hardik is seen posing with Mahieka on a beach during what appears to be a birthday getaway. Another shows a black-and-white photo from the same trip, giving fans a glimpse of what looks like a happy new chapter in his life. Hardik also shared pictures with his family, including his son Agastya, mother, and grandmother, along with a birthday cake, highlighting that the celebration was a private affair.
The posts come shortly after the pair were photographed leaving Mumbai airport early Friday. Dressed in coordinated black outfits, they walked together as paparazzi captured their first public appearance. A video of the moment, where Hardik courteously lets Mahieka walk ahead while avoiding camera flashes, quickly went viral and set social media abuzz.
Rumours linking Hardik and Mahieka had been circulating for some time, fueled by overlapping travel pictures and subtle Instagram interactions. These latest posts have added weight to the speculation, with many fans calling it an “unofficial confirmation.”
Mahieka Sharma, an award-winning model and actor, has largely kept her personal life private. Hardik, meanwhile, has been in the spotlight following his separation from actor-model Natasa Stankovic, with whom he shares son Agastya, and was previously rumoured to be dating Jasmin Walia.
Neither Hardik nor Mahieka has publicly commented on their relationship. However, between the beach photos, family portraits, and the viral airport moment, the cricketer’s subtle Instagram reveal suggests that love may have returned to his life.
