Indian cricket star Hardik Pandya and actress Natasa Stankovic announced their separation in July, ending their four-year relationship.
While the couple has kept the reasons for their split private, a recent report suggests that differences in their personalities played a significant role in the decision to part ways.
According to the report, Natasa struggled to keep up with Hardik's flamboyant personality.
The source claimed that Natasa initially tried to adapt to Hardik's way of life but eventually found the effort overwhelming and exhausting. The continuous attempt to match Hardik's energy reportedly made Natasa feel uncomfortable and led to her decision to step back.
"He was too flamboyant for her, too full of himself. Natasa could not handle it anymore," the source was quoted as saying by Times Now. "She realized that there was a significant gap between their personalities. She tried to keep pace with him, but it became a never-ending process that wore her out. It was a slow, gradual realization that ultimately led her to make the tough decision to end the relationship."
The report also indicated that Natasa had carefully considered her decision over time, but the lack of change in Hardik's behavior solidified her resolve to end the marriage. The insider described Natasa's choice as a painful but necessary step for her well-being.
Since the separation, Natasa has relocated to her hometown in Serbia with their son, Agastya, while Hardik remains in India. There are rumors that Hardik is now dating singer Jasmin Walia, though neither party has confirmed the relationship.
In a joint statement released on July 18, Hardik and Natasa shared the news of their separation, emphasizing that it was a mutual decision made in the best interest of both parties. They expressed their commitment to co-parenting their son, Agastya, and requested privacy during this difficult time.
"After four years together, Hardik and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best and gave it our all, but we believe this is the best decision for both of us," the statement read. "We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the center of both our lives. We will co-parent to ensure his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding as we navigate this difficult and sensitive time."
