Hardik Pandya is making headlines again, but this time it's not due to his performance in the 2026 Indian Premier League season with the Mumbai Indians. Instead, the focus is on his personal life.
The Mumbai Indians had a disappointing season, failing to reach the playoffs, and Pandya faced backlash regarding his performance. The situation escalated when he was spotted with his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma, during matches, despite the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regulations prohibiting partners from entering restricted areas.
Compounding the situation, Pandya missed the last two matches, citing health concerns. His absence coincided with the couple sharing affectionate posts on Instagram, leading to speculation about his priorities.
Recent reports from an Instagram account named 'Mamarazzi' suggest that Hardik and Mahieka are planning to tie the knot on May 22, 2026, in Udaipur. The event is expected to be an intimate gathering with only close friends and family in attendance. However, neither Pandya nor Sharma has confirmed these claims officially.
There are also rumors circulating on social media about potential leaks from the dressing room, although no credible evidence has been presented to support these claims. Meanwhile, Pandya's son, Agastya, from his previous marriage, has been seen accompanying Mahieka at Mumbai Indians games.
Previously, Hardik was married to Natasa Stankovic. They had a court wedding on May 31, 2020, followed by a lavish traditional ceremony in Udaipur on February 14, 2023. The couple shares a son, Agastya, but announced their separation in July 2024 after nearly four years of marriage.
Since then, Pandya's relationship with Mahieka Sharma has been a frequent topic of discussion in both media and online platforms.
