The Indian cricket team made history by defeating New Zealand in the final of the T20 World Cup 2026, becoming the first nation to win the tournament three times. As the team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, celebrated their victory at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the entire nation joined in the festivities.

The stadium echoed with patriotic songs like 'Vande Mataram' and 'Chak De India', as players celebrated with the national flag draped over their shoulders, bringing joy to fans. However, amidst the celebrations, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya found himself in hot water for his actions with his new girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma.

As family members congratulated the players on the field, Pandya was seen embracing and kissing Mahieka, which initially seemed acceptable. However, things escalated when he laid down on the stage and invited Mahieka to join him, a moment that quickly went viral on social media. Many fans expressed their disapproval, feeling that his behavior was inappropriate given his status as a role model.

While celebrating a significant victory like the T20 World Cup is certainly not wrong, it's crucial for athletes to maintain decorum, especially when they are public figures. Although it's common for players to celebrate with loved ones, the display of affection should not cross into what some fans perceive as indecency.

Hardik Pandya's personal life is his own, but when representing the Indian team, he must remember that he is under the watchful eyes of fans of all ages. While young fans may appreciate his romantic gestures, they could send the wrong message to children and older adults. As a star player who has led India to numerous victories, he should consider the implications of his actions.

All the scenes were adorable but Hardik Pandya doing PDA with GF were ewww
