Before his marriage to Natasa Stankovic and recent rumors involving Mahieka Sharma, Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya was frequently in the spotlight for his high-profile associations with several Bollywood divas and models.

Here is a look at the famous names Hardik Pandya was linked to in the past:

Lisha Sharma

Lisha Sharma, a prominent model from Kolkata, was one of the first people Hardik was publicly linked with back in 2016. The duo sparked dating rumors after several pictures of them together - including a holiday in Hong Kong - went viral on social media. While Lisha once referred to him as her "boo" in a post, Hardik eventually took to Twitter on Valentine’s Day in 2017 to clarify that he was single and focusing solely on his game.

Elli AvrRam

Perhaps his most talked-about rumored relationship was with Swedish-Greek actress Elli AvrRam. The two were frequently spotted together at public events, airport terminals, and even private family functions. Elli was a guest at Hardik’s brother Krunal Pandya’s wedding in 2017, further fueling speculation. Although they never officially confirmed their status, their frequent outings made them a favorite target for the paparazzi before they reportedly parted ways in 2018.

Esha Gupta

Following his rumored breakup with Elli, reports emerged that Hardik had grown close to Jannat 2 actress Esha Gupta. In recent interviews, Esha clarified that while they were "talking" for a few months and met a couple of times, it never progressed into a formal dating relationship. She described it as a brief phase of getting to know each other that "fizzled out" due to compatibility issues and poor timing.

Urvashi Rautela

In 2018, rumors surfaced that Hardik was dating former Miss Universe India, Urvashi Rautela. The two were seen together at a party, leading to various tabloid stories. However, Urvashi was quick to shut down the rumors, sharing an Instagram story requesting the media to stop uploading "ridiculous videos" as she had a family to answer to and such reports created unnecessary problems for her.

Parineeti Chopra (The Twitter Flirtation)

While never an official "relationship," Hardik and Parineeti Chopra once sent the internet into a frenzy with a playful Twitter exchange. It started when Parineeti posted a picture of a bicycle with a cryptic caption about a "perfect trip with the most amazing partner," to which Hardik replied, "Can I guess? I think this is a second Bollywood & Cricket link :p." Parineeti’s witty comeback kept fans guessing, though it turned out to be a clever marketing gimmick for a brand.
