Actress and model Natasa Stankovic has made her first Instagram post since announcing her separation from Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya. The post features heartwarming pictures of Natasa and their son, Agastya, enjoying a day at a theme park in Serbia. Accompanying the images, Natasa simply added a red heart emoticon.
The post quickly garnered significant attention, including a supportive comment from Hardik Pandya himself. The cricketer responded with a red heart emoji, followed by an evil eye, heart eyes, and an okay hand emoji.
Pandya’s gesture of support comes amid a barrage of online negativity following their separation announcement. Despite some harsh comments, many fans offered encouragement. One user wrote, “Literally crying after seeing his comment! Made my day,” while another urged, “Stop spreading hate about her. Even Hardik is not showing any kind of hate. It’s their personal life, it’s their personal decision to get separated. So just don’t get into it.”
Natasa and Hardik had taken to their Instagram handles to share a joint statement confirming their separation. “After 4 years of being together, Hardik and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest of both of us,” the statement read. “This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew a family.”
The couple emphasized their commitment to co-parenting, adding, “We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the center of both our lives, and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us privacy during this difficult and sensitive time.”
Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya were married on May 31, 2020, in a ceremony that included both Hindu and Christian rituals. They renewed their vows in February 2023. Speculation about their separation began in May when Natasa changed her Instagram handle, removing the ‘Pandya’ surname.
