Can't transfer from Ganache to Hardhat node through metamask

[Ujjwalvinze]

Version of Hardhat

2.17.3

What happened?

I tried to transfer some of the ganache tokens (hosted on localhost 7545) to an account of hardhat node (hosted on localhost 8545). I imported the node account in metamask and conected to ganache chain.
When I tried to send the tokens it won't let me proceed further after adding the account. The "next" button on metamask is greyed out.
I saw on terminal and saw this error multiple times.

You can't transfer tokens from one chain to another using Metamask, even if they are both development networks. You need some sort of bridge for that, which is out of scope for Hardhat.
