Instagram Post Fuels Engagement Speculation
Team India cricketer Hardik Pandya has set social media abuzz with growing rumours about his potential engagement to girlfriend Mahieka Sharma. The speculation began when Pandya shared intimate photos and videos on his official Instagram account featuring both Mahieka and his son, Agastya.
In one particular clip that caught fans' attention, Mahieka Sharma was seen wearing a substantial diamond ring on her finger. This detail immediately sparked curiosity among Pandya's massive follower base, with many interpreting it as a possible engagement announcement.
Matching Outfits and Relationship Timeline
The couple appeared particularly close in the photographs, dressed in matching traditional Indian outfits that coordinated perfectly. Viewers quickly focused on the prominent ring adorning Mahieka's finger, leading to widespread assumptions that the couple might be taking their relationship to the next level.
Hardik Pandya and Mahieka Sharma went public with their relationship just a few months ago, making this recent display of affection particularly noteworthy for followers who have been tracking their romance.
Social Media Reactions and Past Patterns
Social media platforms, especially Reddit, have been flooded with discussions about Pandya's unusual behavior. One user pointed out that the cricketer has never been this public about previous relationships, noting that he maintained privacy even during his relationships with Jasmine Walia and early days with Natasa Stankovic.
Another comment suggested "Baby Agastya 2.0 on cards", while several users speculated that Mahieka might be pregnant, drawing parallels to Pandya's previous relationship timeline with Natasa Stankovic.
Background: Divorce from Natasa Stankovic
The current speculation gains context from Pandya's previous marriage to Serbian actress Natasa Stankovic. The couple married in 2020 when Stankovic was already visibly pregnant, with their son Agastya arriving shortly after the wedding.
In July 2024, Pandya and Stankovic officially announced their separation through a joint statement that read: "After four years of being together, Natasa and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best and gave it our all, but we believe this is in the best interest of both of us."
The statement emphasized that their son Agastya would remain the central focus of both their lives, with both parents committed to co-parenting him effectively.
Following his divorce, Hardik Pandya briefly dated Jasmin Walia before beginning his current relationship with Mahieka Sharma. The cricketer's increasingly public displays of affection with Mahieka have convinced many fans that this relationship represents a significant new chapter in his personal life.
