'Powerful alone, unstoppable together'; Hardik Pandya's unique gift to girlfriend on Valentine's Day

MUMBAI: Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya gave a unique gift to his bride-to-be, Mahieka Sharma, on Valentine's Day. Hardik expressed his love by getting the first letter of Mahieka's name tattooed on his body. The tattoo features two leopards running, which the cricketer used as a strong metaphor. The tattoo artist called the representation of a leopard powerful alone and unstoppable together.

Sunny Bhanushali, founder of Aliens Tattoo, the company that did the tattoo work for Hardik, said that though the idea was there, the team discovered the concept of leopards during the process. The tattoo was done by Tushar Marane, the head artist of the company. The tattoo was inked on the neck region, which is subtle when hidden but strong when exposed.

Hardik had confirmed his relationship with Mahieka Sharma in October 2025.
