Cricket
oi-Madhuri Adnal
Indian
all-rounder
Hardik
Pandya
has
been
in
focus
in
Mumbai
over
the
past
few
days
for
two
very
different
public
moments,
one
involving
a
viral
fan
interaction
and
another
marking
a
prominent
social
appearance
with
girlfriend
Mahieka
Sharma.
A
video
circulating
widely
on
social
media
shows
Pandya
leaving
a
restaurant
in
Mumbai
on
Christmas
Eve
after
a
dinner
outing
with
Sharma.
Several
fans
had
gathered
outside
the
venue
and
security
personnel
were
seen
managing
the
crowd
as
people
requested
selfies.
Pandya
stopped
for
photographs
with
some
admirers
before
proceeding
towards
his
car.
As
he
was
about
to
leave,
an
upset
fan
shouted
an
abusive
remark
after
being
unable
to
take
a
selfie.
Indian
cricketer
Hardik
Pandya
was
recently
seen
in
Mumbai,
where
he
interacted
with
fans
and
attended
the
‘United
in
Triumph’
celebration
organized
by
the
Reliance
Foundation
with
his
girlfriend
Mahieka
Sharma,
also
introducing
her
to
Amitabh
Bachchan.
Pandya
did
not
react
to
the
comment
and
continued
walking
towards
the
vehicle
without
engaging
with
the
fan.
The
incident
prompted
discussion
online,
with
many
users
pointing
out
the
restraint
shown
by
the
cricketer
in
a
situation
that
could
have
easily
escalated.
The
clip
quickly
drew
attention,
highlighting
the
constant
public
exposure
faced
by
high-profile
athletes.
