About Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic
Natasa and Hardik married on May 31, 2020, and welcomed their first child, a son named Agastya, on July 30 of the same year. In May 2024, a Reddit post gained attention by suggesting that the Serbian model and actress, who quit Bollywood after marrying the cricketer, had split from her husband. The Reddit user speculated, "This is just a speculation. But both of them aren't posting each other on stories (Instagram Stories). Earlier, Natasa used to have Natasa Stankovic Pandya on her Instagram, but now she completely removed his name."
The post further noted, "Her birthday was on 4th March, and there was no post from Hardik on that day; she also removed all recent posts of her and Hardik except the one where Agastya was with them. Also, she isn't seen in stands this IPL or post stories regarding the team. While Krunal and Pankhuri still comment on her posts, something is definitely off between both of them.”
Earlier this year, Natasa faced trolling over Hardik's performance in IPL 2024. Trolls flooded the comments sections of Natasa's Instagram posts with insults and derogatory remarks following Mumbai Indians' poor start in IPL 2024.
