Overview
- Video from Dec. 25 shows Pandya leaving a Mumbai restaurant after a Christmas outing with girlfriend Mahieka Sharma as a crowd gathered for photos.
- A fan blocked from getting close shouted “Bhaad mein jao” (“go to hell”), and Pandya continued to his car without responding.
- Reports note it is unclear whether he heard the remark or chose to ignore it, but there was no confrontation.
- The clip, posted on X by user Jara (@JARA_Memer) with a short video link, went viral and drew praise for Pandya’s restraint.
- Coverage places the moment in the context of recent standout T20I performances against South Africa and ongoing discussions about celebrity privacy, with one outlet noting it had not independently verified the video.
