Indian star all-rounder and Mumbai Indians (MI) captain, Hardik Pandya, finds himself amidst swirling divorce rumours following a disappointing IPL 2024 season. Over the past week, various speculations have emerged, hinting at a possible separation between Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic.
Recent reports suggest that Hardik Pandya could potentially lose 70% of his assets to his wife, Serbian model and actress Natasa Stankovic, following rumors of their divorce. Although there’s no official confirmation, speculation about their separation intensified when Natasa removed “Pandya” from her Instagram username, reverting to “Natasa Stankovic.”
The couple’s recent lack of public interactions has fueled these rumors. Notably, Pandya did not publicly wish Stankovic a happy birthday on March 4, and she was conspicuously absent from the stands during the recent IPL season, where she usually supported the Mumbai Indians.
The figure of 70% asset loss is being discussed based on India’s alimony laws. If accurate, this could significantly impact the 30-year-old cricketer’s wealth.
Pandya’s year has been fraught with difficulties. He faced public backlash after replacing Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians’ skipper and endured criticism throughout the IPL 2024 season. Adding to his woes, his step-brother Vaibhav Pandya was arrested for allegedly defrauding him, with reports suggesting Hardik was nearing bankruptcy. Now, rumors of his divorce add to his troubles.

Hardik and Natasa married in May 2020 and welcomed their son, Agastya, on July 30 of the same year. They renewed their vows in 2023. A viral Reddit post claimed the couple has separated, pointing out that they no longer post pictures of each other on social media, and Natasa has removed their photos together.
It is believed that their possible separation may be linked to online harassment directed at Natasa and their son. This cyberbullying could have played a role in their alleged breakup.
Meanwhile, Pandya returned to the Mumbai Indians for the IPL’s 17th edition after a successful two-year stint with the Gujarat Titans. Unfortunately, his return to Mumbai Indians was disappointing, with the team winning only four of their 14 matches and finishing at the bottom of the points table under his captaincy.
