Relationships between Indian cricketers and Bollywood stars are nothing new. From the late Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore to Virat Kohli and ♈Anushka Sharma, there have been a number of such instances over the years. However, recently, a few series of tweets between all-rounder Hardik Pandya and Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra made fans guessing if the two are actually heading in the same direction.
It all started with the Bollywood beauty posting a picture of a bicycle on her official twitter handle with a caption: “The perfect trip with the most amazing partner. Love is in the air!!!”

Hardik commented on her tweet and stated: “Can I guess? I think this is a second Bollywood & Cricket link. Great click by the way.”

Naturally, it took Twitteratis by storm and got further fuelled by Parineeti’s reply to Hardik’s tweet where she stated: “Hahaha. Maybe. Maybe not. All I can say is that the clue is in the pic itself!!!”
Hahaha. Maybe. Maybe not. All I can say is that the clue is in the pic itself𝄹!!!

And this cute banter led to the rumours of them dating.✨
However, later Parineeti took to Twitter to clear the air and revealed that the ‘partner’ in question was her Xiaomi phone.
For all those who are curious about the on going rumours. Here's the real story behind my new partner 😋😉

“Wow guys! I couldn’t imagine that a beautiful photo and a simple caption could actually demand a video. I guess the picture was that amazing but now, to clarify, again, my perfect partner is my new phone,” she said in the video uploaded on her Twitter handle.
