India's premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya showed great composure after being mobbed by fans with selfie requests while spending personal time with girlfriend Mahieka Sharma. A video of the moment went viral on social media, where a fan can be heard hurling abuse towards the cricketer, who calmly ignores it and walks away.
The video is reportedly from Christmas Eve and was shot outside a restaurant. It shows Hardik carefully guiding Mahieka to the car, following which the cricketer obliges to selfie requests from fans.

After a few snaps as Hardik tries to leave the scene, he tells them: "Le toh liya, aur kitna lega?" (You have already taken pictures. How many more do you want?)
As the cricketer walks towards his car, a fan approaches with a selfie demand and on being denied he says: "Bhaad mein jaa" (Go to hell).
Hardik, however, refrains from reacting to the comment and gets inside the car.
Hardik recently returned to action in the T20Is against South Africa after sustaining an injury during the Asia Cup 2025, where he missed the finals against Pakistan.
He ended as the third-highest run-getter in the T20I series, with 142 runs in three innings at an average of 71 and a strike rate of 186.84. He produced two half-centuries, both coming in winning efforts. Besides this, Hardik also took three wickets.
