Cricketer Hardik Pandya has officially confirmed his new relationship with model Mahieka Sharma, ending months of speculation. This revelation comes two years after his separation from Natasa Stankovic. The couple made their first public appearance together during Diwali celebrations, instantly grabbing attention with their coordinated festive attire.
The duo was seen arriving at a high-profile Diwali party on Monday, twinning in red traditional outfits. Mahieka looked stunning in a red bandhani salwar suit paired with black leggings and white slip-on sandals. She kept her look understated yet festive, radiating elegance. Hardik, meanwhile, wore a matching red kurta with black trousers and loafers, accessorising with dark sunglasses and gold jewellery — adding his signature flair. Their chemistry and twinning style quickly went viral, with fans dubbing them the “new power couple” of cricket and fashion.
Their Diwali appearance followed a recent beach vacation to celebrate Hardik’s birthday. Mahieka shared snippets from the getaway on Instagram, including a video of herself in a pink dress and a Story of Hardik with crown, cake, and hamza emojis, set to the track Daddy’s Home, further fuelling romance rumours.
Earlier, on October 10, they were spotted at Mumbai airport, sparking buzz among fans. Days later, Hardik confirmed the relationship by sharing a photo of the two enjoying a quiet moment at the beach on his Instagram Story.
Mahieka Sharma, who is seven years younger than Hardik, is a rising star in the Indian fashion scene. She has appeared on the covers of ELLE and Grazia and won the Model of the Year award at the Indian Fashion Awards. With campaigns for Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo under her belt, and collaborations with top designers like Tarun Tahiliani and Manish Malhotra, Mahieka is making waves — both in fashion and now, in the spotlight with Hardik.
