'You're my best gift this year': Mahieka Sharma reacts to Hardik Pandya's heartfelt birthday post

As Mahieka Sharma celebrated her 25th birthday, her boyfriend, cricketer Hardik Pandya, made the day extra special with a heartfelt post on Instagram. The all-rounder shared an unseen video of the couple, capturing candid moments of laughter, hugs, and hand-holding as they enjoyed an outdoor setting lit up with fireworks. The clip ended with the pair releasing a floating lantern. Hardik captioned the video, “Happy birthday, my princess .”



He added a touching note: “Thank you for coming into this world 25 years ago. You are the most amazing person I know. I love you .” Mahieka responded sweetly, writing, “You’re my best gift this year .”




The couple has been seen together on multiple occasions. Earlier this year, they attended the United in Triumph event in Mumbai, holding hands and smiling for the cameras while twinning in black outfits. Hardik had confirmed their relationship in October 2025, just weeks after dating rumours surfaced. They have also been spotted at Mumbai airport and shared vacations together.

Hardik was previously married to actor Natasha Stankovic. The pair tied the knot in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic and welcomed their son Agastya on July 30, 2020. Their separation was confirmed in July 2025 after months of speculation.

In a joint statement, they said: “After four years together, Natasha and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest of both of us. This was a tough decision to make, given the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we shared as we built a family together.”
