Mahieka is no stranger to the spotlight.
Indian cricket star Hardik Pandya and model Mahieka Sharma have seemingly confirmed their relationship after appearing together at a Diwali celebration in coordinated red outfits.
Hardik opted for a red kurta, while Mahieka dazzled in a red Bandhani salwar suit.
Their matching ensembles and visible chemistry quickly sent social media into a frenzy.
The sighting follows weeks of speculation surrounding their relationship.
Earlier this month, videos of the pair at the Mumbai airport went viral, fuelling rumours of a budding romance.
Hardik has now officially introduced Mahieka on Instagram, sharing photos from their recent holiday in the Maldives to mark his 32nd birthday on October 11.
In one post, the couple appeared affectionate and relaxed.
Hardik wore a printed shirt while Mahieka looked radiant in a white mini dress as she held his arm.
The Mumbai Indians captain captioned the post reflecting on his “blessings”, which clearly included Mahieka.
The couple’s tropical getaway marked their first public celebration together.
Before this confirmation, Hardik was rumoured to have briefly dated singer Jasmin Walia of ‘Bom Diggy Diggy’ fame following his separation from Natasa Stankovic.
Hardik and Natasa married in 2020 during the pandemic and welcomed their son Agastya the same year.
However, after months of speculation, the pair announced their separation in July 2024.
In a heartfelt statement, Hardik revealed, “After four years together, Natasa and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best and gave it our all.”
He added that they would continue co-parenting Agastya, saying, “He will remain at the centre of both our lives, and we will ensure his happiness above all.”
Since the split, fans have kept a close eye on Hardik’s personal life, and his public appearances with Mahieka have only intensified curiosity.
Mahieka, meanwhile, is no stranger to the spotlight.
The model has featured in campaigns for brands like Tanishq, Vivo, and Uniqlo and has walked for India’s leading designers.
Her collaborations include renowned names such as Anita Dongre, Ritu Kumar, Tarun Tahiliani, Manish Malhotra, and Amit Aggarwal, establishing her as a recognised figure in Indian fashion.
Recently, Mahieka held an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on Instagram, where she offered fans a glimpse into her grounded personality and family values.
When asked what keeps her centred, she replied:
“Talking to my brother, parents, or grandparents. At home, I’m simply their Chikki.”
She added, “They remind me of unconditional love and the authentic aspects of life. My parents walk with Stripey, my brother hits the gym, and my grandparents share my shoots.”
Mahieka also opened up about her experiences with anxiety and shared advice for aspiring models, highlighting her candid and relatable approach to life in the limelight.
As the couple continues to make headlines, their coordinated Diwali debut marks another public step in their blossoming relationship.
Fans remain intrigued to see what’s next for Hardik and Mahieka.
