Speculations about their separation began when Natasa dropped the ‘Pandya’ surname from her Instagram and deleted their photographs together. Her absence during the IPL and T20 World Cup further fueled the rumors.
Recently, Hardik shared cute photos of him and his son celebrating the T20 World Cup win together. Their home was decorated with balloons to welcome the champion. Fans noticed Natasa was missing from the celebration and asked Hardik about her absence in the comments.
Recently, Hardik attended the grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant alone. Meanwhile, Natasa appeared at the airport with Agastya and posted a picture from her home in Serbia on Instagram, captioned “homesweethome.”
Fans have expressed their sadness over the news, as they admired the couple’s relationship and cherished the family moments shared on social media.
