Indian all‑rounder Hardik Pandya — who boasts more than 44 million followers on Instagram — has shared a personal photo series that strips away the match‑day intensity and shows a calmer side of his life. The latest upload presents a candid, unguarded portrait of the cricketer away from the stadium lights.

The set opens with a shirtless snap of Hardik on a phone call, setting a casual tone. Another playful clip shows him washing a luxury car alongside model Mahieka Sharma, who plants a kiss on him while helping. The couple’s chemistry has drawn attention since they confirmed their relationship last month on the cricketer’s 32nd birthday.

One poignant frame captures Hardik’s phone wallpaper: a tender image of his son Agastya Pandya from his earlier marriage to Nataša Stanković. The small but meaningful detail underlines the close bond he shares with his child.

The carousel continues with everyday pleasures — enjoying gol gappas and street food, a spin in his Lamborghini, glimpses of his pets, and a serene beach moment with Mahieka as they take in the sea breeze. These scenes sketch out a relaxed routine beyond professional sport.

Among the clips is a shot of the pair undergoing cryotherapy, a recovery practice favoured by athletes for muscle and performance maintenance.

This post follows the couple’s recent public confirmation and signals a new chapter in Hardik’s personal life. With the upload, he reinforces his image not only as a dynamic cricketer but also as a devoted father, partner and pet owner.
