'Bhai or boyfriend?' Video of Natasa Stankovic's friend with her son at fashion show triggers speculation

Has Hardik Pandya's ex-wife, Natasa Stankovic, finally found love again? A video of her son, Agastya, attending a fashion show in Mumbai went viral. The video, which captured Natasa walking the ramp while her three-year-old son sat in the front row alongside model and fitness coach Aleksandar Alex, sparked mixed reactions on social media. Aleksandar was seen warmly interacting with Agastya during the event, even kissing him on the head at one point, a gesture that led many to assume he shares a close bond with the child.

The video went viral on Instagram, gathering almost 90K likes. Netizens speculated on their relationship. Some internet users suggested that Natasa and Aleksandar might be romantically involved, pointing to their comfort and warmth in public appearances. Others, however, dismissed the rumors, claiming that Aleksandar is actually Natasa's cousin brother and that their close bond is familial rather than romantic. Despite the ongoing discussions online, neither Natasa nor Aleksandar has addressed the rumors.

"Bhai hai yarrr natasha ka wo.." read one comment. Another, however, speculated, "Brother...seriously, guys ...BTW, he looks like his papa!"


Some netizens were also quick to question Natasa's parenting choices, particularly the decision to bring a young child to an event many deemed unsuitable for his age. One user wrote in the comments section, “Why bring kids to such events? Just because her mother is walking the ramp? The kid has no idea what’s going on.” Another commenter echoed a similar sentiment, writing, “As much as I support Natasa, a fashion show is not age-appropriate for her son.” Others, however, defended her, stating that she appears to be a caring mother who simply wanted to share a special moment with her son.

Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya’s relationship had long been in the public eye. The couple got married in May 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown, in a low-key ceremony. Their son, Agastya, was born just two months later, in July 2020. Despite a quiet beginning to their marriage, the couple later celebrated their union with a grand vow renewal ceremony in Udaipur in February 2023, which was widely covered by the media. For several years, they shared many joyful family moments on social media, often portraying the image of a happy and close-knit family.

However, over time, rumors of trouble in their marriage began to surface. Observers noted Natasa’s increasing number of public appearances without Hardik, fueling speculation about a possible rift. These rumors were finally confirmed in July 2024, when the couple released a joint statement announcing their separation. In their statement, they revealed that they had made the difficult decision to part ways after four years of marriage, emphasizing that they still share mutual respect and would continue to co-parent their son.

“After 4 years of being together, Hardik and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest for the both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew a family," the statement read.
