Star India all-rounder Hardik Pandya was spotted with model Mahieka Sharma. The duo was seen together on the occasion of Diwali, Monday, October 20.

Hardik wore a red kurta paired with black pants and loafers, accessorized with sunglasses, a chain necklace, and bracelets. Mahieka donned a red printed anarkali-style kurta as the duo was captured heading towards their car.

Watch the video of the moment here:

The 32-year-old is not part of Team India’s squad for the ongoing three-match ODI series against Australia due to a left quadriceps injury he sustained during the 2025 Asia Cup Super Four clash against Sri Lanka. He subsequently missed the final against Pakistan, where the Men in Blue lifted the title.

Meanwhile, Shubman Gill’s side didn’t have an ideal start to their white-ball campaign against Australia, suffering a seven-wicket loss (DLS method) in the opening ODI played on Sunday, October 19, in Perth.
