Mumbai: Team India allrounder Hardik Pandya, who stepped out with girlfriend Mahieka Sharma on Monday night, seems to be offended with the paparazzi’s unthoughtful behaviour towards his ladylove.
Calling out paps, Hardik shared a hard-hitting note on his Insta stories. “I understand that living in the public eye comes with attention and scrutiny, it’s part of the life I’ve chosen. But today something happened that crossed a line. Mahieka was simply walking down a staircase at a Bandra restaurant when paparazzi decided to capture her from an angle that no woman deserves to be photographed from. A private moment was turned into cheap sensationalism.”
He added, “This isn’t about headlines or who clicked what, its about basic respect. Women deserve dignity. Everyone deserves boundaries. To the media brothers who work hard every day; I respect your hustle, and I always cooperate. But I’m requesting you all, please be a little more mindful. Not everything needs to be captured. Not every angle needs to be taken. Let’s keep some humanity in this game. Thank you.”
On her dinner date with Hardik, Mahieka wore a classic little black dress and looked chic.
As she greeted paparazzi camped outside the restaurant, some shutterbugs captured an oops moment that Mahieka suffered while walking down the stairs.
Soon, the video went viral on social media platforms, leaving Hardik upset.
Before dating Mahieka, Hardik was married to Nataša Stanković. Though the couple fell out of love and parted ways, they continue to co-parent their son Agastya Pandya.
