Hardik Pandya unveils new tattoo of girlfriend Mahieka Sharma’s initial on Valentine’s Day

Hardik Pandya, a member of Team India, got his fiancée Mahieka Sharma's initial tattooed on the back of his neck as a unique Valentine's Day (February 14) present. At two in the morning, the all-around player and his partner went to a well-known tattoo parlor.

Mahieka and Hardik were in Delhi for India's T20 World Cup 2026 match against Namibia, which just ended. The Men in Blue won the match by an incredible 93 runs, which was their most run total in T20 World Cup history.

Throughout the match, Hardik excelled with the bat and the ball. He blasted four sixes and as many fours during a pivotal 52-run knock off 28 balls. With final numbers of 4-0-21-2, the pacer also took two wickets with the ball.

The initial 'M' was inked with two leopards in Hardik's new ink. A video of the entire procedure was shared on Aliens Tattoo Studio's official Instagram account.

"You guessed it right. It was Hardik Pandya. He walked in at 2 AM with a gift for Mahieka. Not flowers. Not a post. Not a promise that fades. Just one quiet idea. An “M” on the nape. But the design didn’t stop at a letter. It became two leopards, running as one force. One bold. One made of linework. And inside that movement, her initial lives. A love story, kept where it belongs. On skin. Not in captions,” caption of the post read.
