Romantic getaway before Hardik’s cricket commitments According to reports, the couple plans to spend a few days abroad before Hardik rejoins India’s national squad later next month. While the destination remains undisclosed, multiple reports claim for their short vacation in Dubai or the Maldives – both among Hardik’s favourite off-season retreats. The trip also comes at a crucial time for Hardik, who is reportedly focusing on personal growth and mental rejuvenation following a challenging year. Hardik’s comeback after personal turmoil Hardik’s new chapter with Mahieka follows his separation from model-turned-actress Natasa Stankovic in July 2024. Despite the split, the cricketer continues to co-parent their son Agastya, maintaining an amicable relationship with his ex-wife. After keeping a relatively low profile for months, Hardik’s recent public appearances – from Diwali celebrations to his airport outing – signal a positive personal resurgence. Fans online have praised his renewed energy, with comments like “Hardik 2.0 is thriving” and “perfect match” dominating social feeds.
