Hardik Pandya's 'flamboyant' personality led to split with Natasa: Report
What's the story
Cricketer Hardik Pandya and his wife, Natasa Stankovic, who married in May 2020 and renewed their vows in February 2023, confirmed their separation in July this year. The reason behind their split has now been attributed to Pandya's "flamboyant" personality, per a source quoted by Times Now. An insider allegedly close to the couple revealed that Stankovic found it challenging to cope with Pandya's nature, which eventually led to their decision to part ways.

The source stated, "He was too flamboyant for her, too full of himself. Natasa could not handle it anymore." "She realized that there was a major gap between how they were as people. She tried to match it up to him but it made her feel uncomfortable." "This was a never-ending process so it became tiring after a while. Natasa was not able to keep pace hence she decided to take a step back."
Gradual decision
Stankovic's decision was gradual, not impulsive
The insider revealed that Stankovic's decision to separate was not impulsive but a gradual one. "She mulled over it but her decision became firm when he did not change. It was a very painful decision by Natasa but it didn't come in one day/one week. It was a slow but gradual wound that kept hurting her," the source added. The couple share a son Agastya, born in 2020.
