“Yeah, for some time we were talking. I don’t think we were dating, but yeah, we were talking for a couple of months. We were at that ‘maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t’ stage. It ended before we even reached the dating stage. So it wasn’t dating-dating. We met once or twice, that’s it. So yeah, as I said, it was a couple of months and then it ended," Esha shared.

When asked if a relationship was ever a real possibility, Esha shared, "Maybe it could have happened. There was no drama or bitterness. It just wasn’t meant to be." Interestingly, while things didn't move ahead with Esha, Hardik began dating his now ex-wife Natasa Stankovic sometime in 2018. 

The two got engaged in 2020 and separated in 2024. After his divorce, Hardik is rumoured to be in a relationship with singer and social media influencer Jasmin Walia.
