It was my mother who asked me to propose the idea of marriage to Akshaya. She told me, Now you are at home for some time to think about your marriage.’ She even said, ‘This is the right time to get married, otherwise you will get busy with your other projects. But for the love of my mother, I talked to Akshaya and told her that my mother wants us to get married. She told me she is ready but needs to discuss it with her family. Then, I went to talk to her mother. After around six months, the marriage date was finalised. So this is how we both decided to get married.”

In 2021, he appeared in the television show Tuzya Mazya Sansarala Ani Kay Hava in which he played the role of Siddharth Deshmukh. In an interview, Hardeek talked about his role in the television show and said,
There is definitely a bit of pressure. The audience still knows me as Rana and calls me by the same name. So I am trying to be known as Siddharth as well. For that, I am paying a lot of attention to the body language, looks and speaking of the role. Rana was very emotional whereas Siddharth is very practical so I give my 100 percent while playing the opposite. I am sure the audience will love Siddharth as much as Rana.”
