Speculation surrounding Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya’s romantic life has intensified after British singer and reality TV star Jasmin Walia was seen sending flying kisses toward him during India’s crucial match against Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The match, which took place in Dubai on Sunday, witnessed several exciting moments on the field, but the off-field drama caught the attention of fans and media alike.
Jasmin, who was dressed in an elegant white outfit paired with stylish dark sunglasses, was seated near Meha Patel, the wife of Indian cricketer Axar Patel. As the cameras panned across the spectators, social media users quickly noticed Jasmin blowing kisses and waving in the direction of Hardik. These moments, captured in videos and photographs, instantly went viral on various social media platforms, sparking fresh rumors about the duo’s alleged relationship.
This is not the first time Hardik and Jasmin have been linked together. The rumors first began circulating in August 2024 when the two posted pictures from the same location—Mykonos, Greece. Although they never appeared together in any of the images they shared, eagle-eyed fans speculated that they were vacationing as a couple. This fueled widespread gossip about a possible romantic involvement between the Indian cricketer and the British singer.
Jasmin Walia, originally gaining recognition through the British reality television show The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), later transitioned into the music industry, where she found considerable success. Her musical career took off in April 2016 when she collaborated with Zack Knight on the song Dum Dee Dee Dum, which was released under the T-Series music label. This song gained significant popularity, particularly among South Asian audiences.
Later that same year, she launched her independent track Girl Like Me on her YouTube channel, further solidifying her presence in the music industry. In December 2016, she expanded her artistic repertoire by performing in the theatrical production of Aladdin at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, where she shared the stage with actress Michelle Collins.
Jasmin’s breakthrough moment in the Indian entertainment industry came when she lent her voice to the chart-topping Bollywood song Bom Diggy from the 2018 hit film Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. This song, which became an instant party anthem, significantly boosted her fame in both India and the UK. She continued to make strides in her music career, and in July 2020, she achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first British Indian female singer to be featured on the prestigious Times Square Billboard in New York City for her single Want Some.
Meanwhile, on the cricket field, Hardik Pandya had a memorable match against Pakistan. The all-rounder reached a significant milestone, securing his 200th international wicket. His performance on Sunday was crucial for India, as he bowled eight overs and managed to dismiss Pakistani skipper Babar Azam and middle-order batter Saud Shakeel. His outstanding contribution played a pivotal role in India’s victory, as the team comfortably defeated Pakistan by six wickets.
Hardik’s personal life has also been a topic of interest over the past year. He was previously married to Serbian actress-model Natasa Stankovic, with whom he shares a son, Agastya. However, their relationship came to an end in July 2024 when the couple publicly announced their decision to separate after four years of marriage.
In a heartfelt joint statement shared on Instagram, Hardik and Natasa expressed that they had mutually decided to part ways, emphasizing that they had put in their best efforts to make the relationship work. They assured their followers that their son, Agastya, would remain the top priority in their lives and that they would continue to co-parent him with love and care.
Natasa and Hardik had initially tied the knot in an intimate court wedding on May 31, 2020, during the Covid-19 lockdown. Just two months later, on July 30, 2020, they welcomed their son into the world. To celebrate their love, the couple renewed their wedding vows in a grand ceremony in Udaipur on February 14, 2023. However, despite their efforts to sustain their marriage, they ultimately decided to go their separate ways.
With Jasmin Walia now being linked to Hardik Pandya, fans and media continue to speculate about the nature of their relationship. While neither Hardik nor Jasmin has publicly addressed the rumors, their recent appearances and social media activity have only added to the intrigue. Whether this is just friendly camaraderie or the beginning of a new romance remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—both Hardik and Jasmin are making headlines for more than just their professional achievements.
