Not only this, but Natasa who used to travel along with Hardik and remain present in the stadium to support him remained absent during the IPL 2024. Natasa Stankovic did not even post a single post about Hardik Pandya after Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024. Fans were convinced that all is not well between Hardik & Natasa when the Serbian actress did not attend the lavish Ambani wedding. On the other hand, Hardik's brother Krunal attended the wedding along with his wife Pankhuri.
