Cricketer Hardik Pandya is reportedly in a new relationship with model and actor Mahieka Sharma, following his recent split from singer Jasmin Walia. The rumors have circulated on social media, sparking curiosity among fans about his latest romantic interest. While neither Pandya nor Sharma has confirmed the relationship, social media sleuths have pointed to clues, including shared photos and mutual follows. This follows Pandya's highly publicized separation from his wife, Natasa Stankovic, earlier this year.
Mahieka Sharma is a 24-year-old model and actor from Delhi. She is a rising star in the fashion industry and has a solid educational background. She scored a perfect 10 CGPA on her 10th-grade exams and holds a degree in economics and finance. Despite her parents' hopes for her to become a doctor or engineer, Mahieka was set on a career in front of the camera.
She began her career in local pageants in Gujarat and Delhi, building her social media presence and eventually becoming a top model. In 2024, she was named Model of the Year (New Age) at the Indian Fashion Awards and was featured by Elle magazine as Model of the Season. She has walked the ramp for leading designers like Manish Malhotra, Anita Dongre, and Tarun Tahiliani. Her acting credits include small roles in projects like Omung Kumar's Narendra Modi (2019) and a music video for rapper Raga.
The rumors about a connection between Mahieka and Hardik began after a Reddit post went viral. Fans noticed a faint male figure in the background of one of her selfies and pointed out that she had also posted a photo showing jersey number 33, which is associated with Hardik. It was also noted that both of them follow each other on Instagram, with Mahieka liking many of Hardik's cricket-related reels. However, a few social media users suggested that the two could simply be friends.
This speculation comes after Hardik's rumored split with British singer and TV personality Jasmin Walia. The two were often seen together, and Walia even cheered for him at matches, including the India vs Pakistan clash at the 2025 Champions Trophy. However, reports later suggested the couple had parted ways after a few months. Prior to that, Hardik and his ex-wife Natasa Stankovic, who married in 2020, announced their mutual separation in a joint statement earlier last year, stating that their son, Agastya, will always remain their first priority.
