I have found a way but it's not a lasting solution i.e only temporary ( unless given in the fstab)
We can use the "--bind" option of the mount command to mount directory onto some other directory thus providing all the data and making it accesible on the mounted one, but then it actaully won't be a hardlink coz the data deleted on the monted one will result in loss on the real directory.
