'Home Sweet Home': Natasa Stankovic shares pictures from Serbia following separation from Hardik Pandya

After many months of rumours about trouble in Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya and model-actress Natasa Stankovic's marriage, the duo announced on July 18 that they have mutually parted ways. Both Hardik and Natasa took to their social media accounts to share the news with their followers. While much is written about Hardik Pandya and his life, not much is known about Natasa's personal life and family.So read on to know about it here.

Natasa Stankovic's family and personal life
Natasa was born on March 4, 1992, in Požarevac, Republic of Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia to Goran Stanković (her father) and Radmila Stanković (her mother). Natasa also has a younger brother named Nenad Stanković who is a professional photographer in Toronto, as per reports. While not much is known about Natasa's family, she often posts about them on social media. And it seems, she is quite close to her parents-- Goran and Radmila Stanković.


It is noted that Hardik and Natasa first met at a Mumbai nightclub in 2018 and soon started dating. Roughly two years later, Hardik proposed to Natasa and in May 2020 they got married in an intimate wedding. In July 2020, the former couple welcomed their son Agastya. But, interestingly, it was only two years after their wedding when Hardik Pandya finally met Natasa's parents for the first time in person! This was shared by both Hardik and Natasa on social media back then. The reason: Hardik and Natasa got married during the COVID-19 pandemic, and so the duo could travel and meet Natasa's family only post-pandemic back then.
In 2023, Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic even renewed their wedding vows in a grand celebration in Udaipur. It was attended by both their families and close friends, who couldn't initially during the pandemic. However, just a few months later, things soured between them and speculations of troubles in their married started doing the rounds. Natasa, who earlier attended cricket matches to support Hardik, was absent throughout IPL 2024 and T20 World Cup 2024; she even dropped Pandya as her surname from her social media profile. Meanwhile, Hardik's poor performance in IPL this year was linked to issues in his personal life. Now, months later Hardik and Natasa decided to mutually divorce and move on in life.

After the news of their divorce was announced, the cricketer's fans took to social media to troll Natasa. While some wished Hardik good luck, others blamed Natasa for the split. "Pandya deserves better," one user wrote on Natasa's earlier social media post, while another said, "She left Hardik Pandya in his bad times." While both Hardik and Natasa have cited the reason for their divorce, it is unfair to only blame the woman in their case.
