IPL 2025 season is off to an electrifying start, with drama unfolding both on and off the field. Amid the intense cricketing action, one moment that caught everyone’s attention was the appearance of British singer and TV personality Jasmin Walia in the stands during the Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians match. Her presence has reignited rumours about her relationship with Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya, adding a layer of intrigue to the already thrilling tournament.
Mumbai Indians’ struggle for momentum in IPL 2025
Mumbai Indians entered IPL 2025 with high hopes but stumbled in their opening match against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings. The loss placed additional pressure on the team as they faced Gujarat Titans at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium, seeking their first win of the season. Eventually losing the game by 36 runs.
In a significant boost for MI, Hardik Pandya returned to captain the team after missing their first game due to a ban carried over from last season. Pandya’s leadership is pivotal for Mumbai Indians, especially given his experience leading Gujarat Titans to their maiden IPL title in 2022. His comeback not only strengthens MI’s lineup but also raises expectations for a turnaround in their fortunes.
Jasmin Walia’s appearance sparks buzz with her appearance
While cricket fans were focused on Pandya’s performance on the field, Jasmin stole some of the spotlight from the stands. The British singer and TV star was seen sitting beside Devisha Shetty, wife of MI’s Suryakumar Yadav. Her presence immediately fuelled speculation about her rumoured relationship with Pandya.
Jasmin has been linked to Pandya since his divorce from Serbian model Natasa Stanković last year. Reports of their relationship gained traction after fans noticed similarities in photos posted by both individuals during separate vacations in Greece. Though neither party has confirmed their relationship, their public appearances continue to spark curiosity among fans.

A new chapter for Hardik Pandya
Pandya’s personal life has been under scrutiny ever since his divorce from Natasa, with whom he shares a son, Agastya. The couple announced their separation in July 2024, citing mutual respect and a commitment to co-parenting their child as priorities. Since then, rumours about Pandya dating Jasmin have dominated social media.
Jasmin is no stranger to fame herself. Born in Essex, England, to Indian-origin parents, she rose to prominence through her appearances on British reality TV shows like The Only Way Is Essex. Her musical career took off with hits like Bom Diggy, which became a sensation in India after its inclusion in the Bollywood film Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. With her glamorous persona and successful career, Jasmin has captured attention both in India and abroad.
Pandya balancing leadership and personal life
As Pandya continues to lead Mumbai Indians this season, his ability to balance his professional responsibilities with his personal life will be closely watched. His return as captain is a strategic move by MI management aimed at rebuilding their legacy after Rohit Sharma’s departure from leadership duties.
Pandya’s journey from leading Gujarat Titans to success and now steering Mumbai Indians reflects his growth as a player and leader. While Jasmin’s presence adds intrigue to his story, it is ultimately his performance on the field that will define his legacy this season.
