Abusive fan yells in frustration after failure to get selfie with Hardik Pandya

SAURASHTRA: Hardik Pandya and his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma, were mobbed by fans and paparazzi, leaving a restaurant after a Christmas celebration.

After safely seating Mahieka in the car, Hardik Pandya was seen obliging fans with selfies and photographs.

One fan attempted to take a photograph with Pandya but was stopped by the mob and security. However, Hardik Pandya was observed remaining calm and not responding to the abusive fan who asked for a picture with him.

Frustrated, the fan shouted an abusive remark, “Bhaad mein jao” (go to hell), but Pandya chose to remain unbothered. Whether he didn’t hear it or chose to ignore it, he remained calm and walked away without engaging in any altercation.
