Hardik Pandya has shared a picture of girlfriend Mahieka Sharma and him on his Instagram story. The all-rounder recently featured in India's squad in their title-winning Asia Cup 2025 campaign in the UAE, as the Men in Blue lifted their record-extending ninth event in the continental competition.

On Friday, October 10, he was spotted with Mahieka at Mumbai airport. The two were spotted entering the terminal after leaving the cricketer's car. Hardik confirmed the relationship rumours by posting a story on his official Instagram handle.

Although the location of where Hardik and Mahieka is unknown for the time being, it is being understood that the duo are off to an island or a beach location. Interestingly, Hardik will be 32 on October 11, and the two could be very well assumed to have gone on a holiday to celebrate the birthday of the Choryasi-born cricketer.

24-year-old Mahieka is an Indian fashion model. She has a multitude of accolades under her belt according to her Instagram bio. She has been recognised with IFA Model of the Year, GQ Best Dressed, Elle Model of the Season and India's Next Supermodel.

Mahieka is reported to have studied economics and finance during her undergraduation. She has also been linked with brands such as Tanishq and Uniqlo. The emerging star in the world of fashion has walked the ramp for designers such as Anita Dongre, Manish Malhotra and Tarun Tahiliani.

As far as Hardik is concerned, he is currently recovering from a quadriceps injury. This was the same reason he was not able to feature for India in the finale of the recently-concluded Asia Cup, where they beat Pakistan in a riveting last-over thriller.
