Ahmedabad: It was a momentous Sunday night at the Narendra Modi Stadium after won their third T20 World Cup, second in a row, and that too at home. All first-time feats.
Suryakumar Yadav and his boys were simply over the moon after crushing New Zealand by 96 runs in one of the most one-sided finals. From dancing in front of the camera, donning and waving the Tricolour, taking victory laps to thank the one lakh-plus spectators – the men in blue let their hair loose.
Adding colour to the celebrations were the wives and girlfriends, kids and parents who joined the celebrations on the turf.
One of the show-stealers of that night was Hardik Pandya’s girlfriend Mahieka Sharma. The 25-year-old model, who was referred to by Hardik as ‘my Mrs’ in one of the post-win interviews, was seen rushing towards the allrounder, as the couple shared an emotional embrace before she planted a kiss on his cheek.
As videos and images of the intimate moment quickly spread through social media platforms, fans loved it, calling it one of the sweetest scenes from the night.
Hours later, another video featuring the hot couple from the post-match celebrations began circulating online. This one sparked a wave of conversation, not all of which was complimentary.
In that clip, Hardik and Mahieka are seen lying side by side on the victory podium as they soak in the heady ambience around them. There is confetti scattered across the stage as teammates, officials and staff move around the ground in the background.
“What the hell is Hardik Pandya doing here? 😭 Looks like he was just left alone on the ground to get intimate with Mehieka last night 😂, said one user.
