Hardik Pandya likely to lose 70% property to Natasa Stankovic amid separation speculations

Indian Cricket star and Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper, Hardik Pandya's personal life seems to be in trouble after a disastrous IPL 2024 season. Recent reports suggest Pandya could lose 70% of his assets to his wife, Serbian model and actress Natasa Stankovic. 

The speculations began when Stankovic removed Pandya from her Instagram username, reverting to just "Natasa Stankovic" from "Natasa Stankovic Pandya".

Notably, the couple did not post any pictures together recently, with Pandya even failing to wish Stankovic on her birthday on March 4. Stankovic was also absent during the IPL season, not seen supporting Mumbai Indians from the stands, which used to be a usual sight in the previous seasons.

While just rumors, for now, 70% of asset loss figures originate from India's laws around alimony payments. If proved accurate, it could deal a heavy financial blow to the 30-year-old cricketer, losing a significant portion of his wealth.

Pandya proposed to the actress on a yacht in January 2020 and got hitched in an intimate wedding ceremony on May 31, 2020. They welcomed their son Agastya in July 2020 before celebrating a fairytale wedding renewal in Udaipur on Valentine's Day 2023. 

Meanwhile, Pandya returned to MI for the 17th edition of IPL after a two-year successful stint with Gujarat Titans (GT) in which the franchise won a title in 2022 and finished as runners-up in the subsequent season.  The 30-year-old, however, made the move to his former franchise Mumbai Indians, and was handed over the captaincy duties from the veteran cricketer Rohit Sharma. 

The mode did not work as MI had a dismal campaign under Pandya's leadership, winning just four matches out of their 14 clashes to finish at the bottom of the points table. With the IPL 2025 having the mega auction, the Mumbai think tank will face the challenging task of addressing numerous areas that require rectification to regain their winning momentum.
