Hardik Pandya comes from a humble background. Born to Himanshu and Nalini in Baroda, Hardik has a sibling, Krunal, who is also a professional cricketer. He also shares a great bond with his sister-in-law, Pankhuri, who married Krunal in 2017 and is blessed with two sons, Kavir and Vayu.

Hardik married his girlfriend and Serbian model, Natasa Stankovic, in an intimate ceremony in 2020. After a few months, they were blessed with Agastya. But in 2024, things went pretty south for the couple. There were rumours of divorce all over social media. The couple had reportedly been living separately after personal differences pushed them apart.

Natasa deleted their wedding pictures from her social media handles and didn’t turn up during the IPL 2024 season to support her husband, who faced much criticism. Her silence after Pandya’s T20 World Cup victory only added fuel to the rumours.

At last, putting rest to the rumours, Natasa and Hardik made a joint statement on July 18, 2024, confirming their separation on Instagram. They confirmed parting ways with mutual consent and vowed to co-parent Agastya with love, care and respect. It officially marked the end of their four-year marriage.
