Reason revealed for the divorce of Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic

It is believed that Natasa Stankovic was not able to keep up with Hardik Pandya's flamboyant personality. The cricketer was "too full of himself" at times which did not go down well for their relationship.

According to the report in Times Now, Natasa Stankovic tried to adjust to Hardik Pandya's personality but became tired after making repeated efforts.

In the end, she became uncomfortable after making conscious efforts and both of them decided that the separation was the best way.

"He was too flamboyant for her, too full of himself. Natasa could not handle it anymore. She realized 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," a source was quoted as saying by Times Now.

The source also claimed that it was not an easy decision for Natasa Stankovic and wasn't taken rapidly.

"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 source added.

Where is Natasa Stankovic now?

Currently, Natasa Stankovic and her son Hardik Pandya, Agastya, are living in Serbia. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya himself is at his home resting before the T20I series against Bangladesh, which will be played after the two-match Test series.
