Hardik, dressed in a casual grey tracksuit and cap, appeared calm yet cautious as he guided Mahieka through the terminal.

The model, wearing a white crop top and loose jeans, walked slightly ahead while avoiding direct eye contact with photographers. As cameras flashed from all sides, Hardik was heard saying, “Bhai log side mein ho jao,” asking the paparazzi to move aside so they could make their way to the entrance.

His protective tone and composed manner immediately caught attention, adding fuel to ongoing rumours about their relationship.

Sources at the airport revealed that the two arrived together in the same car and walked in sync until the security gate.

Neither of them paused for pictures, nor did they respond to questions about where they were headed. Despite the crowd of onlookers and photographers calling out to them, both maintained their calm, choosing not to make any statement.

This isn’t the first time Hardik has been seen keeping things discreet, but the timing of this appearance—after weeks of social media buzz linking him with Mahieka—has fans convinced that there might be truth behind the rumours.

Photos and videos from the airport have gone viral on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with fans commenting on their chemistry and speculating about their next move.

Mahieka, who has been gaining attention for her modelling assignments, seemed unfazed by the attention, walking confidently while Hardik ensured the photographers didn’t get too close. Observers noted the easy comfort between them, suggesting that they share a close bond even if they’ve chosen not to make it public yet.

As of now, neither Hardik Pandya nor Mahieka Sharma has confirmed or denied any relationship. But their airport appearance, the shared car, and Hardik’s protective gesture were enough to set the internet buzzing, making this one of the most talked-about celebrity sightings of the week.
