Model and entrepreneur Aditi Hundia went viral after celebrating India’s T20 World Cup 2026 win with Ishan Kishan. Here’s her journey from beauty pageants to internet sensation
New Delhi: As India lifted the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 trophy in front of more than 1 lakh fans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, one moment during the celebrations caught almost as much attention as the trophy itself.
TV cameras captured Aditi Hundia, girlfriend of Ishan Kishan, as she walked onto the pitch, warmly hugged him, danced with the team, and shared a sweet moment with the cricketer.
Within hours, videos and photos of the couple spread rapidly across Instagram, X, and YouTube, turning the model into an overnight internet sensation.
Who Is Aditi Hundia? The Self-Made Jaipur Star
Aditi Hundia, a 29-year-old from Jaipur, first became known when she was a finalist in Femina Miss India 2017 and later won the title at Miss Diva 2018.
The daughter of a businessman, she created her own identity in the fashion industry as a model, influencer, and entrepreneur. She runs her clothing brand Label Aditi Hundia and has more than 300,000 followers on Instagram, where she posts lifestyle and fashion content.
Rather than remaining known only as a “cricketer’s girlfriend,” Aditi has built her own career, and fans are now noticing and appreciating her work as she trends online.
The 7-Year Love Story: From Rumours to Confirmation
The couple’s relationship quietly began around the 2019 season of the Indian Premier League.At the time, **fans often spotted Aditi in the stands cheering for the Mumbai Indians, and they started calling her the team’s “mystery fangirl.”
Soon after, people noticed hints on social media. Ishan Kishan frequently liked and commented on her posts — once even calling her “beautiful.” Aditi also supported him during difficult periods, including his 1.5-year struggle in T20 internationals.
The relationship became public in February 2026, when Ishan’s grandfather Anurag Pandey told Repoters:
“We accept whoever Ishan chooses. Aditi is his girlfriend. She is a model. One should accept what makes children happy.”
His supportive comment created huge excitement about a possible wedding. However, Ishan’s mother Suchitra Devi gave a more practical response. She told reporters that Ishan should focus on cricket for now and said he was “not old enough” for marriage yet — a typical family reaction that many fans found relatable.

During the final, Aditi Hundia was seen in the stands wearing a striking red dress, cheering every boundary scored by Ishan Kishan.
After the match ended, she came onto the field. Videos show her gently calling him (“Chalo na udhar”), hugging him tightly while he was wrapped in the Indian tricolour, dancing with teammates, and giving him a quick cheek kiss that TV cameras captured perfectly.
The happiness on their faces quickly won hearts across the internet.
What Lies Ahead for Ishan and Aditi?
With Ishan Kishan back in top form and India winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the main focus remains on his cricket career — exactly what his mother hopes for.
However, wedding rumours continue to grow. For now, fans are simply celebrating a young couple who have supported each other for years and are now enjoying success together.
Aditi Hundia didn’t just attend a cricket match — she became part of a historic celebration that millions will remember. From cheering in the Indian Premier League stands in 2019 to walking onto the pitch after the World Cup victory in 2026, their story has truly come a long way.
