Weeks after Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya announced their separation, new details have emerged regarding the reasons behind their decision. According to a source close to the former couple, the split was primarily due to irreconcilable differences, particularly Hardik’s personality. Natasa found it increasingly difficult to cope with Hardik’s flamboyant and self-centered behavior. Despite her efforts to adjust, the ongoing discomfort ultimately led her to conclude that parting ways was the best solution.
The insider revealed that Natasa tried to match Hardik’s larger-than-life persona, but this only left her feeling uneasy. The significant contrast in their personalities created an emotional gap that Natasa couldn’t bridge, making the relationship exhausting and emotionally draining. Over time, it became clear that Hardik’s demeanor wouldn’t change, solidifying Natasa’s decision to step back.
The source described the separation as a gradual and painful realization for Natasa that they were no longer compatible.
The source stated,
He was too flamboyant for her, too full of himself. Natasa could not handle it anymore. She realised that there was a major gap between how they were as people. She tried to match it up to him but it made her feel uncomfortable. This was a never-ending process so it became tiring after a while. Natasa was not able to keep pace hence she decided to take a step back,”
She mulled over it but her decision became firm when he did not change. It was a very painful decision by Natasa but it didn’t come in one day/ one week. It was a slow but gradual wound that kept hurting her,” the insider added.
Natasa and Hardik, who got married in May 2020, renewed their vows in a grand ceremony in February 2023, honoring both Hindu and Christian traditions. However, by July 2024, they announced their separation through a joint statement, highlighting the difficulty of the decision. They emphasized that they had made every effort to make the relationship work but ultimately believed that separating was in their best interest.
In their statement, Natasa and Hardik acknowledged the joy, mutual respect, and companionship they shared during their time together. They also expressed their commitment to co-parenting their son, Agastya, ensuring that he remains the center of their lives. The couple asked for privacy and understanding during this sensitive time, focusing on their son’s well-being.
Since the separation, rumors have circulated that Hardik may be dating singer Jasmin Walia, while Natasa has reportedly moved back to her hometown in Serbia with their 4-year-old son, Agastya. Despite these challenges, both Natasa and Hardik appear to be moving forward with their lives, prioritizing their son and adjusting to their new circumstances.
