Recently, a star-studded incident in Mumbai came into limelight on social media when cricketer Hardik Pandya introduced his model girlfriend Maheeka Sharma to Amitabh Bachchan. A video of the conversation is now going viral on the internet.

The exchange took place at a high-profile event, where Hardik greeted the legendary actor before introducing Maheeka. After this she smiled and shook hands with the veteran actor.

Reactions online reflected enthusiasm for the event. One user wrote, “Hardik Pandya is as open-hearted as ever! Introducing Mahika to megastar Amitabh Bachchan on such a grand stage shows his true character. Down to earth, honest and happy.”

Another said, “What a special moment to see Hardik Pandya introduce Mahika Sharma to Amitabh Bachchan. It showed class, respect and genuine affection all at once.”

Hardik and Mahika made a coordinated appearance at the event, choosing matching black outfits. The cricketer chose a tailored black suit, while the model wore a beautiful black dress. Their public appearance was seen as confirmation of their relationship, which had been the subject of speculation for months.

Their relationship first gained popularity through social media and being spotted at various places. In October 2025, just before Hardik’s 32nd birthday, they made their relationship official by sharing pictures and videos from a private beach vacation.

Hardik drew attention to their relationship when pictures and videos of Mahikaa outside a restaurant in Mumbai surfaced online. In a strongly worded statement, she criticized the way the photographs were taken and highlighted the need for the media to respect personal boundaries, especially for women.

Calling out the paparazzi, he said, “I understand that being 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.”

He further addressed the incident, saying, “Mahika was walking down the stairs in a restaurant in Bandra when the paparazzi decided to capture her from an angle from which no woman deserves to be photographed. A private moment was turned into cheap sensationalism. It’s not about headlines or who clicked what; it’s about basic respect. Women deserve respect. Everyone deserves boundaries. Every day. To the hard-working media brothers, I respect your enthusiasm, but I am asking you all to be a little more careful. Let’s keep some humanity in this game.

24 year old Mahika Sharma is recognized in the fashion industry and has walked for leading designers. According to her Instagram bio, she has received titles such as GQ Best Dressed and been called “India’s Next Supermodel” as well as Elle Model of the Season.
