Aurangabad, Bihar – Ishan Kishan’s grandfather, Anurag Pandey, has confirmed reports of a romantic relationship between the Indian cricketer and model Aditi Hundia, ending speculation that has circulated for years. The confirmation came during an interview with the ANI news agency on February 14, 2026.
“We are ready to accept whoever Ishan Kishan wants to marry. Aditi is his girlfriend…She is a model…One should accept what makes children happy,” Pandey stated.
Kishan, currently a key member of the Indian squad competing in the 2026 T20 World Cup, recently regained his position on the national team after a period of approximately two years. His return was marked by strong performances in domestic cricket, earning him a spot in the T20 World Cup roster despite being previously dropped from the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) annual contract.
Kishan has demonstrated his value to the team with notable performances in the ongoing tournament, including half-centuries against Namibia and Pakistan. His 77 runs off 41 balls against Pakistan proved crucial in India’s victory.
Reports suggest that Kishan and Hundia have been dating for six years, with Hundia reportedly accompanying Kishan on India’s tour of the West Indies. Their connection first gained public attention during the 2019 Indian Premier League (IPL) final, where Hundia was seen in the stands supporting Kishan while he played for the Mumbai Indians. Since then, she has been frequently referred to as a “mystery girl” in Indian media.
Aditi Hundia is a Jaipur-based model who was a finalist in the 2017 Femina Miss India competition. She also held the title of ‘Miss Rajasthan’ in 2017 and was a finalist in the 2018 Miss India competition, also winning the ‘Miss Supranational India’ crown.
