She captioned the post with a white heart emoji and added the song ‘Ordinary Girl’, subtly hinting at embracing simplicity amid the noise around her personal life.
Hardik Pandya makes his relationship Mahieka Sharma insta officialOn October 10, Hardik Pandya took to Instagram to share an Instagram Story featuring a photo of himself with Mahieka at a beach. The duo looked relaxed and happy as they enjoyed a peaceful seaside moment together. Hardik, dressed in an oversized jacket paired with shorts and slippers, had his hand placed casually on Mahieka’s shoulder. He even tagged her Instagram handle.
In another post, the cricketer shared a monochrome picture of the couple posing together. He added a blue evil-eye emoji to the post, a subtle symbol of protection and good luck. The post confirmed what fans had been speculating for weeks.
Fans shower Natasa with love and supportAfter Hardik’s posts, fans turned their attention to Natasa’s account, filling her comments with admiration and reassurance. One user wrote, “You know you are 1000% more good and elegant than his new one, you better know. Be the same, dear. We love you ❤️.” Another commented, “The most beautiful girl ❤️.”

When Natasa revealed how she handles life’s challengesWhile Natasa is receiving immense support on social media now, she wasn’t always treated with such kindness. When news of her separation from Hardik first broke, she faced heavy trolling online, with many unfairly blaming her for the breakup.
Speaking to Bombay Times earlier this year, Natasa reflected on how setbacks have shaped her perspective. “Life doesn’t always go as planned, but how you respond to challenges define your growth. You can’t look at setbacks as failures, but an experience that redirects you towards something better. Don’t try to prove anyone wrong, because it is only going to cost you your peace. It’s not worth it. Just forgive and move on.”
