Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya and his wife Natasa Stankovic have been in the news over the last few days due to rumours about their separation after four years of marriage.
The speculations about the couple's separation sparked on Thursday after a Reddit post went viral on social media, wherein the user claimed that Natasa Stankovic removed the 'Pandya' surname from her Instagram and deleted all her pictures with Indian all-rounder. The Reddit user further claimed that Natasa didn't attend any of the Mumbai Indians' matches in IPL 2024.
Nonetheless, upon checking Natasa's Instagram account, the Serbian actress has not yet deleted any of her pictures with her husband Hardik Pandya. She was also in attendance for few Mumbai Indians matches but might have kept low profile due to backlash received by Hardik Pandya from the fans after replacing Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians captain.
Natasa Stankovic's Instagram post amid divorce rumours
Another rumour that has been making rounds is that Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic are headed for divorce. Speculations suggest that Pandya may have to transfer 70% of his wealth as part of their divorce settlement.
Amid the speculations of the divorce, Natasa Stankovic took to her Instagram story and shared a picture of road signs chart, with the caption, "Someone is about to get on the streets."
The picture from Natasa's Instagram story went viral on social media, claiming that she indirectly confirmed her divorce from Hardik Pandya by settling a huge percentage of his wealth as part of their divorce settlement, sparking widespread speculations and public discussion.
The Truth behind the viral pic and Reddit post
Natasa Stankovic's viral Instagram story has nothing to do with Hardik Pandya or even their separation rumours. She shared the picture of chart of road signs, indicating her preparation for her driving license test in Mumbai.
The caption 'someone is about to get on the streets' likely suggests that Natasa is about to start driving soon once she obtains her driving license. The picture she posted also has 'Driving School' clearly written on the top of the traffic signs' chart.
Despite the speculations rife about the couple's separation, neither Hardik Pandya nor Natasa Stankovic have commented anything on the matter.
And why would they even clarify as the separation rumours are clearly baseless. A Reddit user's viral post which sparked this controversy claimed that Natasa removed 'Pandya' from her surname and deleted all pictures with her husband.
Which is not true as neither Natasa nor Pandya have deleted any pictures from their social media, especially Instagram. Nor does anyone remember if Natasa ever had Pandya as her surname on her social media.
