Indian team’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been in the headlines since IPL 2024, where he faced constant booing. Despite this, Hardik played a crucial role in Team India’s T20 World Cup victory, excelling as both a batter and a bowler, and is now receiving strong support from his fans. However, rumours of his divorce from wife Natasha Stankovic, which is not yet finalized, continue to circulate.

Since Hardik’s return to India after the T20 World Cup win, Natasha has not posted anything about her husband, nor have any new pictures of them together surfaced, fuelling speculation that the couple has separated. Additionally, there are rumours on social media about Hardik dating a Russian model.
