Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya is once again making headlines—this time for his personal life. His growing closeness with actress-model Mahieka Sharma has become a hot topic on social media, thanks to their frequent romantic posts. Recently, Hardik shared a series of photos featuring what he called the “Big 3” of his life—Mahieka, his son Agastya, and his pet dog. But fans also noticed something else in those photos that has set the internet buzzing: a sparkling diamond ring on Mahieka’s finger.
Engagement Rumours Gain Momentum
One particular picture has ignited the engagement speculation. In it, Hardik and Mahieka are seen praying together, and the diamond ring on Mahieka’s hand is clearly visible. Fans are curious to know whether the couple has quietly taken the next step in their relationship.
In other photos, the two appear in traditional Indian outfits, performing rituals together. In one image, Hardik is seen kissing Mahieka on the cheek.
Another picture shows the two enjoying drinks together, and once again, Mahieka's large solitaire ring is unmistakable. This has fueled even more speculation online. Despite the viral buzz, the couple has not issued any official statement yet.
How Their Relationship Began
Hardik’s new romance began after his separation from ex-wife Natasa Stankovic. Natasha and Hardik, who got married in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, renewed their wedding vows in 2023. The couple was married for four years and share a son, Agastya. They confirmed their split in July last year.
After the separation, Hardik was briefly linked to actress-singer Jasmin Walia. However, he made his relationship with Mahieka official by sharing pictures with her on his birthday during a beach vacation. Before that, on October 10, Hardik and Mahieka were spotted together at Mumbai airport—their first public appearance as a couple.
