Ananya Panday, Hardik Pandya's Friendship Blossoms After His Divorce From Natasa Stankovic

Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic have separated after four years of marriage. They got married on May 31, 2020, and welcomed their first child, son Agastya on July 30 of the same year. They renewed their wedding vows in the presence of close friends and family on February 14, 2023 in Udaipur in a grand celebration. However, rumours of a rough patch in their relationship started making news since early this year and it all concluded with the former couple announcing their divorce on social media on July 18.

Meanwhile, Hardik's blossoming friendship with Bollywood actress Ananya Panday is also grabbing people's attention.

Hardik and Ananya hit the follow button on Instagram

Netizens recently discovered that Ananya and Hardik have started following each other on Instagram. This came after they were spotted dancing together at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding. The Bollywood actress and the Indian all-rounder grooved together at the groom's baraat and Ananya was seen teaching some Bollywood dance steps to Hardik.

While the videos of the duo from the baraat went viral, it seems like they have put the stamp of friendship on their bond for now. It is interesting to note that Hardik has announced his separation from Natasa and Ananya has reportedly broken up with Aditya Roy Kapur a few months back. Could Ananya and Hardik's bond be more than that of friendship? Time will tell.

Hardik and Natasa announce divorce after months of speculation

In their joint post announcing divorce, Hardik and Natasa said that separation was a "tough decision" for them and they will continue to co-parent their son Agastya. A couple of days before the news of the former couple's separation became public, Natasa flew off to her home country Serbia with her son.
