Hardik Pandya He has remained in the news for both his personal life and his victories on the cricket field. The cricketer was married to model Natasa Stankovic. However, the two divorced, after which the cricketer was linked with Jasmin Walia, before making his relationship with Mahieka Sharma official. Recently, former cricketer Ashish Nehra made a funny joke about Hardik about it.
Ashish Nehra and Rushma Nehra recently appeared with Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh on the Who’s The Boss? podcast. During the interaction, the couples played a game in which Harbhajan Singh and Ashish Nehra had to match the name of a movie with a cricketer.
When given the name of the film ‘Khiladi Number One’, Ashish said, “Harbhajan was Khiladi Number One in the girls’ department before marriage.” To this, Geeta reacted by saying, “Even I know that he is not the number one Khiladi off the field.” Harbhajan then shared another instance where Ashish went crazy while partying at a club in the UK. “I looked back and Ashish was sitting on that bald guy’s shoulder and playing with his head. That guy is enjoying it too.”
When asked to name a cricketer from the film ‘Devdas’, Harbhajan said: “Hardik Pandya.” Ashish disagreed with Harbhajan’s choice and asked, “Why?” He then added, “I have heard that woh toh roz Paro changes karta hai (He changes Paro every day).”
Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic got married on May 31, 2020, during the COVID-19 isolation. They welcomed their son Agastya two months after their wedding in July 2020. The couple later renewed their wedding vows in a lavish ceremony in Udaipur, Rajasthan on February 14, 2023. However, just a year later, they announced their separation in July 2024.
After his divorce from Natasa, Hardik was seen vacationing with British singer Jasmin Walia. She was also seen traveling in the Indian cricketers’ bus with the team. However, their relationship ended after a few months of romance. Hardik and Mahieka were then rumored to be dating before the cricketer made their relationship Instagram official in October last year.
