Mahieka Sharma Shields Hardik Pandya’s Son From Paparazzi After MI’s Opening Win

The viral clip has renewed questions about paparazzi conduct around children.

Overview

  • The video, filmed Sunday after Mumbai Indians beat Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede Stadium, shows Sharma asking photographers to stop using flashes and to clear a path.
  • Sharma holds Agastya’s hand, checks if he is okay, and says “No lights, no flashes” and “raasta de do” as camera bursts appear to bother the child.
  • Times of India and others also reported that Pandya gifted Sharma a Mercedes‑Benz V‑Class valued at about ₹1.7 crore, which trended online the same weekend.
  • Clips of the exit drew mixed reactions on social media, with some users praising the protective response and others calling it over the top.
  • The moment drew extra attention because Pandya and Sharma went public in October 2025, and Agastya is the son Pandya co‑parents with ex‑wife Natasa Stankovic.
