Hardik Pandya's wife Natasa Stankovic reacted to the divorce rumours recently on Instagram. With much noise regarding their alleged separation, the model-turned-actor shared her thoughts in a video, where she asked people to'be less judgmental and more empathetic'. There has been a lot written and said about Hardik-Natasa's relationship in the recent past with the latter being absent from stands during IPL 2024, where Hardik led Mumbai Indians (MI), and photos of the couple also disappearing from her social media profiles. Further, she was nowhere to be seen in Hardik's celebrations, with his family,post his return from India's triumphant T20 World Cup campaign.Finally, she has broken her silence and addressed the rumours indirectly.
On her Instagram story, Natasa shared a video where she addressed the divorce rumours indirectly and said, "I am sitting here and having my coffee, just had a random thought as people, how quick are we in judging."
She further mentioned, "If we see someone who is acting out of their character, we don’t slow down, we don’t observe, and we have no empathy. We straight jump into judging. "We don’t know what has happened, what is behind the whole thing, the whole act, the whole situation. So, let’s be less judgmental, observe more, have more empathy, and be patient with people,” Natasa added.
The couple tied the knot in mid-2020, however, their relationship has allegedly encountered troubled times.
Hardik, on the other hand, has remained mum regarding all the noise on his relationship with his wife. The all-rounder was part of Rohit Sharma-led India's 2024 T20 WC-winning campaign, which was held last monthin West Indies and the USA. The 30-year-old played a crucial role in India's victory, returning with 144 runs and 11 scalps overall. In the final, where India beat South Africa by 7 runs in Barbados, the star all-rounder claimed a match-winning 3 for 20 to take his side to their second T20 WC triumph after 17 years.
