Are Esha Gupta and Hardik Pandya the new couple in town?

Bollywood and cricket’s connection goes a long way back. Here, we are not referring to the biopics made on cricket or cricketers turning actors, we are talking about cricketers being in a relationship with Bollywood actresses! That’s the relation we are talking about! The most recent example can be of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli or Hazel Keech and Yuvraj Singh or even Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh. And, looks like there’s a hot new pair of an actress and cricketer joining this gang, and it’s none other than Esha Gupta and our latest cricketing sensation Hardik Pandya!

According to a report in DNA, Esha and Hardik are madly in love with each other and are going pretty strong. A source was quoted by the daily as, “Esha is head over heels in love with Hardik. The cricketer does little things for her which make her happy.”

The source revealed why the couple is not going public about their relation, “Esha and Hardik want to avoid the public glare. So, they stay away from the paparazzi as well. They live close to each other. Instead of going out, they prefer staying indoors and spending quality time with each other.”

Before this, Hardik’s alleged relation with Elli Avram had become the talk of the town but it didn’t seem to bother Esha. “Everyone was talking about them (Elli and Hardik). Esha doesn’t want unnecessary media glare. Hardik, too, feels that keeping a low profile would be the best way to take their relationship forward,” the source informed.

Ain’t you glad you looking at me ? @rahuljhangiani

Reportedly, Esha and Hardik met at a party and bonded right from the beginning. It started as a mere exchange of numbers and eventually progressed into a relationship. Esha has always maintained that she is single. But, do you think it will change now or will we get the cliche ‘we are just good friends’ response to it?

Also, will we see Esha cheering for Hardik from the stand like the others wives/girlfriends of the cricketers? That, only time or maybe Esha and Hardik will tell.
