Actor and model Natasa Stankovic has responded to circulating rumours regarding her future plans and personal life, months after she and cricketer Hardik Pandya announced their separation. In a recent interview, Natasa clarified speculation about her potential return to her home country, Serbia, while reflecting on personal growth and her journey as a mother to their three-year-old son, Agastya.
Addressing rumours of a return to Serbia, Natasa dispelled the idea, stating, “There’s talk that I’m going back, but how would I? I have a child, and he goes to school here. There is no chance… that won’t happen. Agastya belongs here. The family is here at the end of the day. We [Hardik and I] are still a family. We have a child, and he will always keep us connected as a family.”
Speaking about her recent visit to Serbia, Natasa explained that she has maintained an annual tradition of returning to her home country for over a decade, and this trip was no different. She also mentioned that she and Hardik are committed to co-parenting Agastya and supporting him together.
Reflecting on her journey, Natasa opened up about how motherhood and personal challenges have shaped her: “Even with everything that’s going on, I don’t believe in bad people. Souls can get lost, one way or another. I feel that, at one point, I didn’t understand my worth; I would remain quiet in situations where I should have spoken up. But I’ve learned to love myself through being with Agastya.”
She admitted to having missed out on personal ambitions over the past five years, suggesting that working during that period might have bolstered her mental health. Nonetheless, Natasa affirmed she holds no regrets and values privacy in her relationship with Hardik moving forward.
Natasa and Hardik, who married in 2020, publicly announced their separation in July this year. In a shared Instagram post, they described the decision to end their four-year relationship as “tough” but essential as they grew individually and as a family.
