Cricketer Hardik Pandya once again found himself at the center of attention, not for his game but for his rumored relationship. The star all-rounder was recently spotted at the Mumbai airport with model Mahieka Sharma, and their appearance together has fueled fresh dating speculation.
The Moment That Sparked Buzz
Early on Friday, October 10, Hardik and Mahieka were seen walking through the Mumbai airport dressed in relaxed, coordinated outfits. Eyewitnesses said Hardik appeared protective, asking photographers to “bhai log side mein ho jao” as Mahieka walked ahead. The two avoided posing for pictures, keeping their distance from the cameras while making a quick exit.
This is the first time the rumoured pair has been publicly seen together, following weeks of social media whispers about their connection. Their quiet demeanor and comfortable chemistry have only intensified online chatter, with fans convinced that something is brewing between them.
Who Is Mahieka Sharma?
Mahieka Sharma, 24, is a model and actress who has quickly built a name for herself in the Indian fashion circuit. Originally from Delhi, she completed her schooling at Navy Children School and graduated from Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University in Gujarat. She also holds a degree in psychology from Maryland, USA.
Her portfolio includes major ad campaigns for brands like Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo. Mahieka has also walked for some of India’s top designers including Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi, Tarun Tahiliani, and Anita Dongre. With over 50,000 followers on Instagram, her feed blends travel diaries, behind-the-scenes shots from shoots, and glimpses into her personal style.

Hardik’s Relationship Timeline
Speculations around Hardik and Mahieka began in September 2025 when fans noticed him in the background of one of her Instagram posts. The two started following each other soon after, giving gossip pages more reason to speculate.
This comes after Hardik’s divorce from wife and actress Natasa Stankovic in 2024. The couple, who tied the knot in 2020 and share a son named Agastya, announced their split through a joint statement calling it a mutual and respectful decision.
