Natasa Stankovic has shared her first Instagram post since announcing her separation from Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya. The post, featuring heartwarming photos of Natasa and her son, Agastya, enjoying a fun-filled day at a theme park in Serbia, has garnered significant attention. Notably, Hardik Pandya himself commented with a red heart emoji, followed by an evil eye, heart eyes, and an okay hand emoji, showcasing his support.
This public display of support from Hardik comes amidst a challenging time for Natasa, who has been facing unwarranted online hate following their joint separation announcement. Despite the negative comments, a wave of supportive messages has emerged. One user wrote, “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.” Another commented, “Ma’am stay strong, my prayers are with you and your son.”
Having left Mumbai for her hometown in Serbia last week with Agastya, Natasa seems to be finding solace and strength in the company of her family and friends during this challenging period.
The heartfelt post follows shortly after Natasa and Hardik issued 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 for the 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.”
Emphasising their commitment to co-parenting, the couple added, “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 tied the knot on May 31, 2020, celebrating their marriage with both Hindu and Christian rituals. They renewed their vows in February 2023. Speculations about their separation began circulating in May this year when netizens noticed that Natasa had removed the ‘Pandya’ surname from her Instagram handle.
