Love is in the air, and it seems to have taken over the life of Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya, who was previously married to actor-model Natasa Stankovic. The cricketer made his new relationship with model Mahieka Sharma Instagram official as he shared some pictures with her from their vacation. The duo's older posts on social media suggested that they might be dating and it looks like the duo are ready to confirm their relationship The first picture he posted has the two of them chilling on a beach, with Hardik’s arm over Mahieka’s shoulder. The second picture has them dressed up for a night out. Hardik is seen wearing an oversized shirt with jeans, while Mahieka was rocking a black dress.

Hardik was previously rumoured to be dating actor Esha Gupta. During an earlier interview, Esha clarified that even though she was talking to Hardik, they were not dating. Gupta told Siddharth Kannan that, “I don’t think we were dating, but we were talking for a couple of months. We were at that ‘maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t’ stage. It ended before we even reached the dating stage. So it wasn’t dating-dating. We met once or twice; that’s it.” Mahieka herself is a force to be reckoned with. After getting a degree in economics and finance, she became a model and has already won prestigious awards such as the IFA Model of the Year and the Elle Model of the Season. Hardik also posted pictures with his son, Agastya, and a screenshot of him video-calling his mother and grandmother. The cake and the setting of the room suggest that Hardik’s 32nd birthday bash wasn’t a full-blown rager but an intimate celebration.
