Hardik Pandya shares shawl with GF Mahieka Sharma, poses with fans at Siddhivinayak temple (reactions)

Team India is all set to battle it out against England tonight in the ongoing T20 match. This happens to be a crucial match, as it is the India vs England semi-final. Fans are waiting with bated breath for the clash and rooting for India’s win.

Well, hard work and practice never go in vain, but seeking blessings from God before any crucial match is important. On Thursday morning, Team India visited Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesh. Hardik Pandya, who is traveling with his girlfriend for all the matches, also took her to Siddhivinayak.

Several photos and videos of Hardik and his girlfriend, Mahieka, at the temple have gone viral. One clip shows both of them sharing a shawl.

In the clip, after seeking blessings, the couple greets the Panditji. The couple also shared a shawl as they stood together during the rituals. Following their prayers, Hardik was seen taking off the shawl, while Mahieka was seen putting the piece of cloth back on his shoulders. Hardik and Mahieka then posed for photos with some devotees at the temple.

This irked netizens, as many aren’t even allowed to wait for darshan, while Hardik was busy clicking photos inside the temple premises. Many even mentioned that Hardik is trying to be like Virat Kohli.

Take a look:

Interestingly, the couple’s public appearance coincidentally came as Hardik’s ex-wife, Natasa Stankovic, celebrated her 34th birthday. Sharing photos from her quiet bash, she wrote, “Hey little girl… we are doing well. As long as we stand firm on the Rock. Thank you Jesus for bringing us this far, and I know we have just started.”

Last year, Hardik and Mahieka confirmed their relationship. Hardik celebrated his girlfriend’s 25th birthday in style and made it extremely special.

India vs England, which will be played from 7 pm today.
