Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic tied the knot in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic but announced their separation in July last year after months of rumours.
In a joint statement, Hardik shared,
“After four years together, Natasa and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best and gave it our all, but believe this is in the best interest of both of us. This was a tough decision, given the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we shared as we built a family together.”
