Natasa Stankovic dismisses rumours of returning to Serbia after her separation from Hardik Pandya; says, 'We are still a family'

Amidst speculations about her returning to Serbia, Natasa firmly clarified her stance.

Actor and model Natasa Stankovic has addressed various rumours and shared insights about her life following her separation from cricketer Hardik Pandya. The couple, who announced their split a few months ago, have a three-year-old son, Agastya Pandya. In a recent interview Natasa spoke at length about her future plans, co-parenting, and her journey towards self-worth.

Amidst speculations about her returning to Serbia, Natasa firmly clarified her stance. "There's a talk in the city that I'm going back. How would I go back? I have a child. The child goes to school here. There is no chance... That won't happen. The child needs to be here. He belongs here. The family is here at the end of the day," she explained to Times of India. Natasa emphasised that despite their separation, she and Hardik remain a family because of Agastya. "We are still a family. We have a child, and the child will always make us a family at the end of the day."

Natasa also addressed her recent trip to Serbia, dispelling misconceptions about her relocation. She stated, "It's been 10 years and I go every year at the same time back in Serbia." This annual visit is a tradition for her, and it does not indicate any permanent move. She also mentioned that she and Hardik are co-parenting their son, and ensuring Agastya's well-being remains their top priority.

Natasa admitted that she missed working over the past five years, which has been a source of regret. She added that being active in her career would have been better for her mental health.

Natasa and Hardik had confirmed their separation on Instagram in July, stating that they had "mutually parted ways" after four years together. The couple described their decision as "tough" but necessary as they went on their individual paths while continuing to co-parent Agastya. They tied the knot in 2020 and have since focused on providing a stable environment for their son.
