Hardik Pandya’s Bold Temple Look Sparks Buzz

Indian all‑rounder Hardik Pandya recently visited the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala with girlfriend Mahieka Sharma.

His appearance drew attention as he sported a completely shaved head, dressed in traditional white attire.

Shaving the head is a common act of devotion at Tirumala, and Pandya’s gesture sparked curiosity among fans online.

The temple visit comes at a time when Pandya is recovering from injuries that sidelined him during the 2026 IPL season.

He has been dealing with back stiffness and a thigh injury, which forced him to miss India’s series against Afghanistan, England, and Zimbabwe.

Pandya last played while captaining Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, where the team failed to qualify for the playoffs.

With no official timeline announced by the BCCI, fans eagerly await his return to India’s white‑ball cricket setup.
