What is the Profession of Hardik Pandya's Father?

Hardik and Krunal Pandya's father, Himanshu Pandya, ran a meager car finance business in Surat which he closed down and moved to Vadodara when Hardik Pandya was just five.

What role did Himanshu Pandya play in shaping Hardik and Krunal Pandya's future?

When junior Pandya was only a 5-year-old boy, his father wrapped up his existing business in Surat and moved to Vadodara. This move was to help his boys with more conventional cricket training facilities. Hardik Pandya's father, Himanshu Pandya enrolled his two boys into Kiran More's cricket academy in Vadodara. Financially vulnerable, the Pandya family resided in a rented apartment in Gowra, with the siblings using a second-hand car to travel to the cricket ground. Even though their fight didn’t stop there, great things had begun shaping up for both the siblings since then.

The larger-than-life Pandya brothers currently live with their respective partners (Hardik also has a son, Agastya with wife Natasa), their mother and dogs in a cozy family home in Vadodara, Gujarat. The four-bedroom penthouse spread across 6000 sq ft is reportedly priced at INR 3.6 crores and was purchased by the duo many years back. They purchased all the four flats on the top floor and hired Anuradha Aggarwal, Creative Director of Olives Cre, to style the house of their dreams.
