The Romantic Reel
Hardik also shared a montage of their memories set to the song Saathiya, featuring unseen clips of them laughing, hugging, and releasing a floating lantern together under a firework-filled sky.
Maheika: Hardik’s Lucky Charm?
Maheika, a 25-year-old model and fitness enthusiast, has been a constant support for Hardik during T20 World Cup 2026 tournament.
Hardik recently credited Maheika for helping him rediscover his passion for cricket, stating that she helped him “ignite the spark” that led to his resurgent form on the field.
The ‘M’ Tattoo: The celebration comes just days after Hardik revealed a new tattoo of the initial ‘M’ on his neck, a permanent tribute to Maheika that he got during Valentine’s week.
Current Status: T20 World Cup 2026
While the celebrations were a welcome distraction, Hardik remains focused on India’s World Cup campaign. After helping India top Group A, he is now preparing for the Super 8 clash against South Africa scheduled for tomorrow.
