Indian cricketer, Hardik Pandya’s ex-wife, Natasa Stankovic, is emerging stronger than ever. The model and actress is turning her heartbreak into healing, one moment at a time. Months after the high-profile divorce from the cricketer that grabbed all headlines, Natasa has dropped a short yet powerful message on self-love, and the internet can’t stop gushing about her glow-up.
Natasa Stankovic creates a stir online with a bold note
On June 1, 2025, Natasa Stankovic marked a bold start to the new month. Taking to her Instagram handle, the 32-year-old posted a mirror selfie where she flaunted her toned physique. Dressed in gymwear and her tresses kept open, Natasa’s face glowed even without a trace of makeup on her face. But it was her deeply personal note with the photo that struck a chord with thousands. Natasa’s note read:
“This version of me didn’t come from luck. She came from showing up, again and again – even when it was hard, even when no one noticed. And if you’re doing the same? I see you. Keep going.”
Natasa’s heartfelt note struck a chord, with fans pouring in messages like “You are inspiring,” “Slaying forever, My Sunshine,” and “Keep shining, Queen.” One popular comment on her IG post read, “You know you are inspiring”. Another user wrote, “You are doing amazing, please keep going.”
Natasa Stankovic expresses gratitude for the tough times
For those who may not know, 2024 was a rollercoaster year for Natasa. After a highly publicised split from Hardik Pandya, with whom she shares a five-year-old son, Agastya, Natasa chose to rebuild her life in Mumbai, and let’s just say, she has done it all with undeniable grace. Earlier this year, in an interview with ETimes, the model-actress opened up on her emotional times, sharing that despite the challenges, she is grateful for everything. Natasa said:
“Last year was quite challenging, and I am grateful for it. As we grow wiser while going through challenges, I just love it. I had many experiences ( good and bad), so I believe that we mature with experiences, not age. As I look to the year ahead, I am definitely open to new experiences, opportunities and maybe love. I am not averse to it (falling in love).”
After all the heartbreak, Natasa Stankovic refuses to let her past define her. The former Bigg Boss 8 contestant is keeping her heart open to what’s next. She confirmed that she is definitely open to new experiences, opportunities, and maybe love. In her words:
“Life doesn’t always go as planned, but how you respond to challenges defines your growth. You can’t view setbacks as failures but as experiences that redirect you towards something better. Don’t try to prove anyone wrong because it will only cost you peace. It’s not worth it. Just forgive and move on.”
Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic’s love story
Hardik and Natasa first met at a Mumbai nightclub in 2018, and love soon blossomed between the two. In 2020, they got engaged on a yacht and later announced they were expecting their first child. After a legal wedding and intimate ceremony, they welcomed their son, Agastya. Natasa stood by Hardik through ups and downs, and in 2023, they had a grand wedding. However, in 2024, they confirmed their separation but remain on friendly terms as they continue to co-parent Agastya. The reason behind their divorce remains under wraps.
