Hardik Pandya has seen the worst side of his fans in the recently concluded IPL 2024. People didn't like him taking over the captainship of Mumbai Indians from Rohit Sharma. He faced harsh criticism online and on the cricket ground. After the team lost a few matches, people started booing Hardik Pandya during the live match, leaving him extremely uncomfortable. However, Hardik kept his calm and didn't react; rather, he shut every troller's mouth with his exemplary performance in the T20 World Cup, and he was one of the pivotal players to make India win the trophy.
After India won the World Cup 2024, Hardik's bhabhi, Pankhuri, took to her Instagram handle and posted a couple of pictures with her devar. Along with it, she penned a heart-melting note proving that bhabhis are an extension of a mother. She praised Hardik for staying calm when things were going wrong for him. And Pankhuri also made sure to give it back to people, who booed him during the live match. She wrote:
"We are so so proud of you Hp!!!! I’m running short of words when it comes to this day. So proud of the way u carried yourself through all the things that were going against you to standing the tallest & strongest amongst it. And to all the people who said things about you - well BOO to you too!"

Poore tareeke se chalu hua aur dekhiye upar wale ki kripa dekhiye, mauka bhi kaisa mila. Aakhiri over mein aisa situation aaya jo mai imagine bhi nai kr paya. Aur kya batau I am speechless."
Well, Hardik definitely proved that every person has good and bad times, but it is the attitude of gratitude that matters and can change anyone's storyline.
