Natasa Stankovic reveals she had no idea who Hardik Pandya was, thought he was ‘alag prakaar ka aadmi’

Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic confirmed on Thursday that they are separating after over four years of marriage. They got married in 2020 and have a three-year-old son, Agastya. For the past few months, there were rumors about their relationship ending, but neither of them had confirmed it until now.

Hardik and Natasa's love story

In 2020, Hardik told CricketTimes.com that when he first met Natasa, she had no idea who he was. He shared this story with cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle. Hardik said he started talking to Natasa after she saw him wearing a hat, chain, and watch at 1 am. She thought he looked like a different kind of person. They got to know each other, started dating, and got engaged on December 31. Hardik even mentioned that his parents didn’t know about the engagement until two days before it happened. He told his brother Krunal that he had found someone he loved and wanted to be with. His family supported him fully.
