His fearless style on the pitch is back, and so is the spotlight.But off the field, it’s Hardik’s new relationship that’s quietly becoming the bigger story.Since his separation from Natasa Stankovik, the cricketer has found himself linked to more than one name. There was earlier buzz around UK-based singer Jasmin Walia after the two were spotted together during IPL 2025. Now, all signs point to model and yoga instructor Mahieka Sharma.The two kept things low-key for months, but fans were quick to connect the dots. A glimpse of Hardik in Mahieka’s mirror selfie, identical bathrobes during overseas trips, and overlapping travel posts were enough to spark speculation.And then came the jersey clue.

Making it official
By late 2025, the guessing game finally ended. After multiple airport sightings and beach holiday pictures, Hardik and Mahieka quietly confirmed their relationship. They welcomed 2026 with cosy Instagram moments - from cuddled selfies to family calls and even snapshots with their pets.No dramatic announcement, just soft launches done right.
Who is Mahieka Sharma?
Mahieka Sharma, in her early twenties, is a model and certified yoga instructor. She has appeared in music videos, done a few small film projects, and walked the ramp for designers like Manish Malhotra and Tarun Tahiliani. Fitness, fashion and wellness seem to be her world - and she fits neatly into Hardik’s new, calmer chapter.
Airport PDA before the New Zealand series
On January 17, ahead of India’s first T20I against New Zealand, Hardik was spotted at Mumbai airport with Mahieka by his side. Dressed in a relaxed all-black look, he kept it casual, while she waited with him till the very end. The two shared a few sweet, unguarded moments before he headed in - subtle, warm, and very real.For someone who once thrived in chaos, Hardik Pandya now seems to be enjoying a phase that’s quieter, steadier - and very much in sync with Mahieka Sharma.
