Romance Or Just Friends? Ameesha Patel Breaks Silence On Hardik Pandya Dating Rumours After Viral Video

Ameesha Patel has responded to social media speculation linking her with Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya after the two were recently spotted together at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace. The actor addressed an X user who suggested that a friendly interaction between her and Hardik hinted at a possible romantic relationship.

A video of Ameesha Patel and Hardik Pandya surfaced on social media, showing the actor introducing the cricketer to some of her friends. In the clip, Ameesha can be seen placing her hand on Hardik’s shoulder as they smile during the interaction. The seemingly casual moment soon became a topic of discussion online.

Sharing the video, an X user referred to the interaction and wrote, ‘’The way Ameesha Patel put her hand on Hardik Pandya’s shoulder during the party at the hotel.

All the Reddit rumours seem to be coming true.’’

Rather than ignore the speculation, Ameesha shared a screenshot of the post on her Instagram stories and responded directly.

Her reply was dripping with sarcasm. She wrote, ‘’So true ya. My god ur correct…truly romantic way my hand was on him.’’

She then questioned why the user had interpreted the gesture romantically, adding, ‘I don’t know u, but surely u don’t have a girl, even as a friend. ’’

Ameesha ended her response with another pointed remark, saying, “It’s time you do have one before posting on such things.’’

Ameesha has previously spoken about her views on marriage and relationships. During a podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia last year, the actor revealed that she had been in a serious relationship in the past. However, she said her former partner did not support her decision to enter the film industry.

While Ameesha has not ruled out marriage, she has said that she would prefer a partner who respects and supports her professional ambitions. She added, “I am all up for marriage, as long as I find someone worthy. They say that ‘Where there is a will, there is a way,’ so the person who finds me through everything and mauke par chauka maarlege (takes advantage of the situation) will be my person. I still get all kinds of proposals from a lot of well-to-do families. People half my age want to take me out on a date, and I am open to it because a man has to be mentally mature. I have met a lot of people older than me who have the IQ of a fly.”

With Hardik Pandya’s relationship with Mahieka Sharma already public knowledge, Ameesha Patel’s witty clapback served as a timely reminder that not every friendly gesture caught on camera needs to be read as a romance plot. As the video continues to do the rounds online, it’s clear the actress isn’t losing any sleep over internet speculation — and her sharp sense of humour has, if anything, only added more fuel to her fanbase’s love for her no-nonsense attitude.
