However, contrary to rumours, the puja hosted by Hardik and Natasa was not for marking their engagement. Pt Chandrashekhar Ji, the priest who performed the rituals, shared pictures from the gathering and explained the intent behind it.

He wrote, “Mangalwar puja performed for overall well-being with friends and family @mahiekasharma @hardikpandya93. From the Agni of Havan emerges ārogya, shānti, and the radiance of prosperity. Thus do the scriptures declare: he who seeks peace and complete well-being should offer oblations into the sacred fire.”

While Hardik and Mahieka seem to be making most of the time together, it is clear that they are not engaged as of now. The new couple has been stepping out together in public since October. Hardik has also posted mushy pics with his bae on Instagram, hinting that their romance is going strong.
