Photos of cricketer Hardik Pandya and model Maheka Sharma are going viral on social media, and a new wave of speculation has begun: are the two engaged? The buzz started after fans noticed a sparkling ring on Maheka’s finger in the latest pictures. In one photo circulating online, Maheka is seen offering Hardik a drink, and the diamond ring on her left hand instantly grabbed attention.

Social media is filled with claims that Hardik and Maheka have secretly gotten engaged, but there is no official confirmation yet. Neither Hardik nor Maheka has issued any statement. Maheka, a professional model, has been linked to Hardik ever since his divorce from Natasha Stankovic. The two were first spotted together at the Mumbai airport, followed by an international trip just before Hardik’s birthday. Maheka has also been seen with Hardik during Diwali celebrations and in several family photos, further fuelling the rumours.

Hardik’s past relationship
Hardik Pandya married actor Natasha Stankovic in 2020, but the couple divorced in July last year. They share a son, Agastya.

As for cricket, Hardik may be included in the upcoming T20 series against South Africa, although reports suggest he could be rested for the ODI leg of the tour.
