Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel has rejected rumours of a romantic relationship with Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya. She responded sarcastically after a social media user linked the two celebrities.
The rumours started after Ameesha Patel and Pandya were seen together at a private gathering in Mumbai. The event reportedly took place at the Taj Mahal Palace. A video from the gathering later circulated widely on social media.
In the video, Patel can be seen introducing Pandya to some of her friends. The brief interaction quickly attracted attention online. Some social media users began speculating about a possible relationship between the actress and the cricketer.
One user claimed that Patel placing her hand on Pandya’s shoulder was a sign of romance. The person suggested that the gesture supported existing rumours about the two.
Patel did not ignore the comment. She shared a screenshot of the social media post on her Instagram Story. The actress then responded with a sarcastic remark about the interpretation of the gesture.
She suggested that putting a hand on someone’s shoulder was being treated as a romantic act. Patel also said she did not know the person who made the comment.
The actress further questioned why the user viewed a normal interaction between friends as evidence of a relationship. Her response appeared to make it clear that she rejected the speculation.
The incident has once again highlighted how quickly celebrity interactions can fuel relationship rumours online. A simple appearance or friendly gesture can often lead to speculation on social media.
Meanwhile, Indian media reports have linked Hardik Pandya with model Mahieka Sharma. Reports state that Pandya made his relationship with Sharma public on social media in 2025.
Pandya was previously married to actress Natasa Stankovic. Their marriage ended in divorce. The former couple also share a son.
For now, Ameesha Patel has firmly dismissed the claims connecting her romantically with Pandya. Her sarcastic response has also drawn attention from social media users.
