In the world of entertainment and sports, relationships between celebrities often come under intense scrutiny. The latest couple to find themselves at the centre of such speculation is Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya and Serbian actor-model Natasa Stankovic. The duo, who tied the knot in 2020 and share a 3-year-old son named Agastya, are now facing renewed rumours of a split. The buzz began when Natasa remained conspicuously silent on social media following India's historic T20 World Cup victory, a significant achievement in which Hardik played a crucial role.
Natasa's social media behaviour has sparked curiosity and concern among fans. Historically, she has been very supportive of Hardik's cricketing milestones, often posting congratulatory messages and photos after his significant wins, be it in the Indian Premier League (IPL) or other major tournaments. This time, however, despite the magnitude of India's triumph, Natasa did not share any celebratory posts on her Instagram or other social media platforms.
The absence of any public acknowledgement from Natasa has led to rampant speculation online. Fans and netizens began noticing and discussing her silence, particularly on platforms like Reddit, where a user pointed out the unusual behaviour. This observation was further fueled when another user shared that Natasa had removed Hardik's last name from her Instagram handle. Such changes are often seen as indicators of personal troubles, especially in the celebrity world where public appearances and social media presence are meticulously managed.

Rumours of their separation gained more traction when it was observed that Hardik, after the T20 World Cup win, broke down in tears, an emotional reaction that fans speculated might be linked to personal issues. During a post-victory video call, he was seen speaking to someone, but fans speculated that the person on the other end was not Natasa, adding more fuel to the fire.
This is not the first time the couple has faced such rumours. Earlier in the year, Natasa was massively trolled and unfairly blamed for Hardik's underwhelming performance in the IPL 2024 season with the Mumbai Indians. At that time, social media users were quick to point fingers, attributing Hardik's on-field struggles to his off-field relationship dynamics. The couple had to endure a barrage of negative comments and speculation, which they navigated without much public commentary.

Natasa's decision not to post about the T20 World Cup win is especially striking considering her usual social media activity. She is quite active on platforms like Instagram, regularly sharing moments from her life and work. The lack of any congratulatory post for Hardik, coupled with her previous history of enthusiastic support, has left fans puzzled and worried.
Further compounding the rumours are comparisons with other celebrity couples. For instance, even Anushka Sharma, who is known for her relatively reserved social media presence, posted a story celebrating the Indian cricket team's victory, highlighting her support for her husband, Virat Kohli. This comparison has led fans to question why Natasa, who is usually more active, chose not to do the same.
While the couple has not made any public statements regarding these rumours, the social media silence and the removal of the last name from Instagram have led to widespread speculation about their relationship status. As of now, fans are left in a state of uncertainty, hoping for clarity and possibly, a happy resolution.
