Natasa Stankovic - the Serbian actress and dancer - has recently sparked rumours of a possible separation from her cricketer husband, Hardik Pandya, through a cryptic Instagram story.
Despite the couple's public silence, Stankovic's recent post has fuelled speculation about their marital status.
In her Instagram story, Natasa shared a thought-provoking message, saying, "Just a gentle reminder from me to you again, God did not remove the Red Sea, He simply parted it. Which means, he won’t remove a problem from your life, he will simply make a way through it."
This message has been interpreted by many as a subtle confirmation of ongoing issues in her marriage with Pandya.
The couple, who married on May 31, 2020, and reaffirmed their vows in February 2023 with both Hindu and Christian ceremonies, have been the subject of divorce rumours since May this year. The speculation began when fans noticed that Natasa had dropped 'Pandya' from her Instagram handle.
The rumours gained further traction when Natasa did not attend any of the IPL 2024 matches, nor did she post about India’s T20 World Cup victory, in which Hardik played a significant role.
Adding to the intrigue, Natasa has been visibly absent from Hardik's social media posts. She recently shared pictures and videos on her Instagram, highlighting moments with her son, Agastya. In one post, Natasa was seen taking a selfie inside a car, flaunting her abs at a gym, and visiting a museum with her son. The caption read, “living in gratitude,” indicating a focus on her personal well-being and family life amidst the ongoing turmoil.
A recent report by Bombay Times suggested that the couple has been facing marital issues for the past six months. "Tension has been brewing in their marriage for the past six months.
The couple is likely to head for a separation. However, the stories around the alimony percentage are speculative and exaggerated. Also, news about this being a PR campaign is untrue," a source told the Bombay Times.
Despite the growing rumours, Natasa’s recent actions have added layers to the narrative. She liked a post from Hardik’s brother, Krunal Pandya, congratulating Hardik on Instagram, which has left fans puzzled about the true state of her relationship with Hardik.
