Hardik Pandya has rarely shied away from sharing pieces of his life with his fans but in recent months, he has done so with a softer touch. Since confirming his relationship with model Mahieka Sharma, his posts have carried a sense of warmth and calm, almost as if he’s allowing people to see him begin anew after a difficult phase in his personal life. Whether he’s travelling, training, or simply spending time at home, these glimpses feel like small windows into a man rediscovering balance.
It was in this familiar spirit that Hardik Pandya took to Instagram on Tuesday evening, sharing a set of pictures and videos that captured simple, happy moments with Mahieka Sharma. One of the clips showed the two dressed in traditional outfits, standing close and smiling, with Hardik planting a gentle kiss on her cheek. Another moment showed them performing what appeared to be a festive ritual, hinting that the videos were taken during their Diwali celebrations.
A photo that stood out showed Hardik lifting Mahieka in his arms as she clicked a mirror selfie, the kind of playful moment that made the post instantly adored by fans.

Mahieka, who comes from a strong academic background in Economics and Finance, has built an impressive career in modelling and acting. She has appeared in music videos, independent films, and major campaigns for brands like Tanishq, Vivo and Uniqlo. She has also walked the ramp for celebrated designers across the country and earned the “Model of the Year (New Age)” award at the Indian Fashion Awards in 2024.
Her reputation for professionalism has grown steadily. Even when she suffered a severe eye infection before a major show in 2024, she chose not to withdraw. Instead, she walked the ramp confidently, winning praise for her dedication.
Hardik Pandya’s journey to this point has seen its share of emotional turns. He was earlier married to Natasa Stankovic, with whom he tied the knot in 2020 and reaffirmed his vows in 2023 before the couple confirmed their separation in July 2024. Now through his recent posts, he seems to be embracing a gentler, more hopeful chapter, one that he does not mind sharing with the world.
