Hardik shared the story

Hardik wrote in an Instagram story, "I understand that being in the public eye requires attention and scrutiny. It's part of the life I've chosen, but something happened today that crossed all limits." He added, "Mahika was coming down the stairs at a restaurant in Bandra when the paparazzi decided to capture her from an angle no woman deserves to be photographed from. A private moment was turned into a cheap sensation."

Hardik said, "It's not about who clicked what, it's about basic respect. Women deserve respect. Everyone has a right to boundaries. The media folks work hard every day. I respect your hard work and I always cooperate. I request all of you to please be a little more careful. There's no need to capture everything. There's no need to look at every angle. Let's maintain some humanity in this game. Thank you."
