After much speculation and back-and-forth discussions, model Natasa Stankovic has decided to move out of Mumbai following her divorce with Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya. The former couple has formally announced their separation, bringing an end to months of conjecture surrounding their relationship.
Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya confirmed their decision to part ways through a heartfelt social media post. Addressing her followers, Natasa wrote, “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 both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we enjoyed together as we grew a family.”
She 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.”
The Serbian model was seen departing from Mumbai on Wednesday. She took to her Instagram stories to post a picture of an unnamed street and captioned it, “Home sweet home.” This gesture confirmed that she has moved out of the Pandya household and left the country.
The rumors of their impending divorce started swirling during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season when Hardik didn’t post any birthday wishes for Natasa on social media. These speculations gained further traction when reports emerged that Natasa had deleted their wedding pictures from her social media accounts. The photos, however, reappeared later, contributing to the ongoing mystery.
Adding fuel to the fire, during India’s victorious campaign in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, everyone congratulated Hardik and the Indian cricket team, except for Natasa, which only intensified the rumors. Hardik also appeared solo at the grand Ambani wedding, which many observers took as another sign of trouble.

In spite of the personal challenges, Hardik has continued to make headlines with his cricketing career. His appointment as the captain of the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 drew significant criticism due to the team’s performance. However, he managed to redeem himself with an exemplary performance for India in the T20 World Cup. Addressing the criticism, Hardik said, “I believe in grace. A lot was said by people who don’t even know me one percent as a person. People have spoken, no issues, but I have always believed in life that you never respond with words; circumstances can respond. Even difficult times, they don’t last forever. It is important to be graceful, whether you win or lose.”
As the couple moves forward in their separate lives, they have committed to co-parenting their son Agastya. This separation marks the end of a chapter filled with joy, mutual respect, and companionship, but also begins a new one where their main focus is the well-being of their child.
The Indian public, though often invasive in the private lives of celebrities, largely perceives this separation with empathy and respect for the couple’s request for privacy. The mutual decision showcases their maturity and dedication towards providing a stable and nurturing environment for their son Agastya.
While Hardik remains focused on his cricketing commitments and continues to win accolades for India, Natasa’s move back to her home country signifies a fresh start. Her social media posts indicate a sense of relief and a new beginning as she embarks on this next chapter of her life.
In conclusion, the end of the Stankovic-Pandya marriage has captivated the public eye, but also highlighted the importance of mutual respect and co-parenting in modern relationships. As both individuals navigate their future paths, the hope remains that they will find happiness and fulfillment in their new journeys while maintaining a strong, supportive relationship for the sake of their son.
