Cricketer Hardik Pandya arrived solo at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s sangeet ceremony amidst swirling speculations about his separation from wife Natasa Stankovic.
Hardik looked dashing in a black Indo-western outfit as he posed for photographers on the red carpet.
Joining Hardik on the red carpet was fellow cricketer Ishan Kishan, who chose an all-red shimmery ensemble for the occasion. Hardik smiled widely as photographers referred to him as “champion,” likely in recognition of Team India’s T20 World Cup victory in Barbados.
Earlier in the day, Hardik celebrated Team India’s triumph with his son Agastya, sharing a series of photos from the festivities. In his caption, Hardik wrote, “My #1! Everything I do, I do for you.”
Meanwhile, actress-model Natasa Stankovic appeared to allude to ongoing rumors surrounding her marriage with Hardik. In a video shared on her Instagram story, Natasa acknowledged being “in a certain situation.” Recently, she has faced criticism for not posting any congratulatory messages for Hardik following Team India’s T20 World Cup win.
Natasa expressed feeling “lost” in the shared video on her social media, bringing along the Bible to read an excerpt that resonated with her. She said, “I got super excited to read something that I really needed to hear today, and that’s why I brought the Bible with me in the car because I wanted to read it to you all… It says: It is the Lord who goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you; do not fear or be dismayed. Whenever we’re going through a certain situation we become discouraged, disappointed, sad and often lost, (but) god is with you. He is not surprised to what you’re going through right now because he already has a plan.”
