Hardik Pandya goes on a date with Mahieka Sharma on Diwali, calls himself 'Blessed'

Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya has once again made headlines, but this time it’s not for his performance on the field. The all-rounder is now officially dating model and actress Mahieka Sharma, with the two openly sharing glimpses of their relationship on social media.

On Wednesday, Hardik posted a series of pictures from what looked like a romantic beachside date with Mahieka. Dressed in a red shirt, the cricketer was seen surrounded by fairy lights and palm shadows, while Mahieka appeared in a soft pastel outfit beside him. The post was simply captioned “Blessed,” hinting at the contentment in his new chapter.

A few of the pictures also showed them holding hands and laughing together, confirming what fans had been speculating for weeks. Their chemistry has been a recurring sight on Instagram, with likes and comments pouring in from both fans and friends in the industry.

Mahieka Sharma, before stepping into the entertainment spotlight, earned a degree in Economics and Finance. She began her career in modelling and soon became a familiar name in fashion circles. She has walked for some of India’s biggest designers including Manish Malhotra, Anita Dongre, and Tarun Tahiliani. Her portfolio also includes collaborations with brands such as Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo. In 2024, she was honoured as “Model of the Year (New Age)” at the Indian Fashion Awards.

Known for her determination, Mahieka once made headlines when she continued to walk the ramp despite battling a severe eye infection. Her professionalism and confidence earned her respect across the industry.
