  • Hardik Pandya faces cheating rumours after viral Instagram post
  • Rumours stem from misinterpretation of social media activity
  • Pandya's relationship with Mahieka Sharma not confirmed.

Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya has once again become the subject of social media discussions after a viral Instagram post sparked speculations about his personal life.

The rumours claim that Pandya may have cheated on his former wife Natasa Stankovic, with model and now current girlfriend Mahieka Sharma, but reports suggest the claims are largely based on a misunderstanding of social media activity rather than confirmed facts.

The controversy reportedly began when a celebratory Instagram post by sports nutritionist Nicole Linhares Kedia went viral following India’s recent T20 World Cup Win. In the lengthy caption, she spoke about meeting Pandya two years ago and praised the support system around him, including Mahieka Sharma.

Some users misinterpreted the lines and assumed that Hardik Pandya had been secretly dating Maheika Sharma for two years while still married to Stankovic.

Many users began to question the timeline of Hardik's past relationships after the screenshots of the post started getting shared online,

It then led to speculations that Hardik may have cheated on his then wife Natasa.

However, a closer reading of the original caption clarified that the statement referred to Kedia's meeting with Hardik Pandya professionally two years ago and not Maheika Sharma.

Hardik and Natasha got married in 2020 during the lockdown and the former couple have a four year old son Agastya.

Hardik and Natasa announced their separation in July 2024 via Instagram posts after months of speculations.

Since then, they have kept their personal lives private and continue to co-parent their son Agastya. He had recently gifted a luxury car to his son too.

Meanwhile, Mahieka Sharma has been seen supporting Hardik during h his recent cricket tournaments. However, there has been no official confirmation from Hardik Pandya or Maheika Sharma regarding when their alleged relationship began.

Earlier, Hardik was linked with UK-based singer Jasmin Walia after his divorce from Natasa. The speculation about their romance started when both shared posts from the same place, which included a vacation in Greece.
