Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya announced his engagement to Serbian model/actress Natasa Stankovic on New Year's day during their vacation in Dubai. Almost the entire country was taken by surprise, including his teammates who had apparently been unaware of their relationship until then. A number of celebrities were previously linked up with Hardik and he had been involved in several romantic relationships in the past, as he admitted the same on the famous Indian talk show, Koffee With Karan, which eventually landed him in trouble as well.

1. Lisha Sharma

Hardik Pandya was linked up with Kolkata-based actress Lisha Sharma after Lisha used cute nicknames to address him on social media. Not much later, Hardik put an end to those speculations with a post on Instagram that read, "Just wanted to clear Once for all, I have been single and focusing on my game since a long time! Again and again, this rumour or the picture comes out! It doesn't justify the hard work we do! I would really appreciate ending this rumour! And let's end it for all. Thank you, Love all, Hardik.."

2. Parineeti Chopra

Popular Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra was rumoured to be dating Hardik Pandya after she posted a picture of a bicycle with the caption, "The perfect trip with the most amazing partner. Love is in the air." To that, Hardik had replied, "Can I guess? I think this is a second Bollywood & Cricket link. Great click by the way." The two of them later confirmed that they were not dating.

3. Elli AvrRam

Speculations of Hardik's relationship with Elli started when the couple was often spotted accompanying each other at events and ad shoots. Even though the two of them denied the reports, rumours refused to die down as Hardik had later invited Elli to his brother Krunal Pandya's wedding. According to reports, they parted ways a few months later.

4. Esha Gupta

It was reported that Hardik and Bollywood actress Esha Gupta hit it off at a party the first time they met each other and rumours of their alleged love affair had started right then. Both of them denied the rumours later.

5. Shibani Dandekar

Model and VJ Shibani Dandekar was once rumoured to be dating Hardik after she posted a congratulatory message post one of his matches, to which he had replied 'thank you.' Shibani responded to that with the comment, 'Muahh, beast mode.' However, it was later clarified that they were just friends and that there was nothing more to it.

6. Urvashi Rautela

Following his alleged break-up with Elli AvrRam, Hardik was linked with Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela, who had met him at a party. Pictures of the two of them had gone viral on social media, after which the dating rumours began. Urvashi reportedly denied the rumours later. To Hardik's recent engagement announcement, Urvashi had commented, "Best wishes on your engagement. May your relationship always be filled with lots of love and happiness. On your engagement, I wish you both a wonderful life and an everlasting love."
