Overview
- A short clip shows a fan yelling “Bhaad mein jao” after failing to get a selfie as Hardik Pandya left a restaurant following a Christmas dinner with his girlfriend, Maheika Sharma.
- Pandya did not respond to the remark and walked to his car without engaging, a reaction widely lauded online.
- Reporters note he had paused for several selfies beforehand, but crowding and security prevented one fan from reaching him.
- Coverage differs on the location, with some reports citing New Delhi and at least one naming Mumbai.
- No arrests or formal complaints have been reported, and outlets contextualized the moment with Pandya’s recent standout T20I displays against South Africa, including knocks of 59* and 63 off 25.
