Hardik Pandya, the renowned Indian cricketer, broke down in tears after India’s historic T20 World Cup win. Amid the celebrations, fans noticed him engaged in a video call. However, speculations arose that he wasn’t speaking with his wife, Natasa Stankovic, which fueled ongoing divorce rumors.
Natasa Stankovic’s Social Media Silence
Following the T20 World Cup triumph, eagle-eyed fans observed that Natasa Stankovic, the Serbian actor-model and Hardik Pandya’s wife, did not post any congratulatory messages on her social media accounts. This sparked further speculation on Reddit about their relationship status. One user highlighted Natasa’s usual activity on social media, questioning why she remained silent during such a significant moment for Hardik and the Indian cricket team.
Reddit Discussions on Possible Separation
A Redditor speculated that Hardik and Natasa might have separated, citing her absence of posts about the World Cup victory and her husband’s key role in the win. The post compared her silence to Anushka Sharma’s active congratulatory messages for her husband, Virat Kohli, despite her relatively lower social media presence. This absence led fans to wonder about the state of Hardik and Natasa’s marriage.
While some fans speculated about a potential separation, others defended Natasa. One commenter suggested that she might have chosen to celebrate the victory privately with her family. Another pointed out that continuous online discussions about her could have pressured her to stay away from public congratulations to avoid further scrutiny and negative comments, especially after the backlash she faced earlier this year during Hardik’s underwhelming IPL performance.
History of the Rumors
The separation rumors began earlier when a Redditor noted that Natasa had removed “Pandya” from her Instagram handle and had not been seen cheering for Hardik during IPL matches. This, combined with her recent social media silence, has added fuel to the speculations.
Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya tied the knot in 2020 and are parents to a three-year-old son, Agastya Pandya. Despite their seemingly happy family life, Natasa has faced criticism and trolling, particularly when Hardik’s performance on the field did not meet expectations. This ongoing scrutiny may have influenced her decision to remain silent during the World Cup celebrations.
