She gained traction in her modelling career, doing shoots for big names like Tanishq, Vivo and Uniqlo. She also walked the ramp for top Indian designers like Anita Dongre, Ritu Kumar, Manish Malhotra, Tarun Tahiliani, and Amit Aggarwal. With her confidence and dedicated attitude, she has become an industry sensation and bagged the title of the Model of the Year (New Age) at the Indian Fashion Awards held in the year 2024.

How Hardik Pandya and Mahieka Sharma’s relationship became public

Speculations around Hardik Pandya and Mahieka Sharma started this year after some fans noticed hints like matching couple outfits, cryptic captions and coinciding travel pictures. These speculation grew after both were spotted together on October 10 at the Mumbai airport, both wearing black. The sighting soon went viral and made the social media buzz after a video of it, where Pandya can be seen politely asking the photographers to step back, surfaced online.

Days later, Hardik posted a series of Instagram stories with Mahieka. So it only took some seawater and love from dinner to make their relationship apparent through these photos he posted (where no formal announcement needed to be made). This was just two days before Pandya completed 32 years on October 11.

This comes after all-rounder Hardik Pandya parted ways with his ex-wife Natasa Stankovic back in July 2024. The couple, who share son Agastya, had parted ways amicably and vowed to continue co-parenting. It should be inferred from their fresh appearances and multiple posts that their relationship is now open and quite real, even though neither Hardik nor Mahieka has ever publicly acknowledged the status of their relationship.
