Are Hardik Pandya and Elli Avram an item now? This gossip is making quite the rounds in the circles of both cricket and Bollywood, with many touting that the rumoured couple will soon follow the Virushka way and get hitched soon. It all started when the popular cricketer and former Bigg Boss contestant met during an event year back and have been spotted together at various events. It was when Elli was seen at Hardik's brother's wedding that tongues really went wagging. Then recently Elli was seen dropping Hardik at the airport and people began to speculate that these two are soon to make their relationship official.

While we are not sure if that is going to happen soon, Hardik and Elli were again spotted at another event. This time it was for an ad photoshoot. While we don't know whether the ad will feature both the stars, or Elli was only present at the venue to give moral support to her 'good friend' Hardik. She was seen in a yellow top and a hat, while Hardik was seen shooting for the ad in black leather jacket and sitting on a bike.

Looks like the two are very much committed and want to always be there for each other. We would only be happy and rooting for this couple. Bollywood and Cricket have a relationship which goes quiet hand in hand. We have several pairs in the industry of cricket players and Bollywood stars coming together. They would join the list of cricketer-actor couples: after Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore, Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech, Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra and Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge. And of course, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma!
