Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya delighted fans by sharing a previously unseen romantic photograph to wish his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma, on her birthday, even as he balances the demands of India’s campaign in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
The intimate image, uploaded to his Instagram Stories, captures the couple in a close embrace while standing in an infinity pool, with the vast blue ocean stretching behind them—likely from a relaxing holiday in Sri Lanka. Pandya’s simple yet affectionate caption read: “Happy Birthday my princess.”
The post followed India’s recent T20 World Cup match against the Netherlands, highlighting Pandya’s ability to blend his high-profile cricketing responsibilities with personal milestones. The couple has maintained an openly affectionate presence on social media since confirming their relationship in late 2025—more than a year after Pandya’s divorce from Natasa Stankovic was finalized in July 2024.
Mahieka Sharma promptly reshared the tribute on her own Instagram Stories, adding a diamond emoji alongside an evil eye symbol for protection. She also offered followers a peek into her celebrations, posting a photograph of herself in a sleek black outfit posing in front of a heart-shaped birthday cake.
Fans quickly filled comment sections with congratulations for Mahieka and admiration for the couple’s evident chemistry. Their frequent shared glimpses—from vacations to everyday moments—have kept public interest high throughout the past year.

This warm birthday dedication underscores the steady evolution of their relationship into a more visible and cherished part of Pandya’s life amid his continuing commitments to the Indian team.
