Internet buzzing over Natasa Stankovic's lack of reaction to Pandya's T20 victory
As India lifted the T20 World Cup trophy in Melbourne on Sunday, celebrations erupted across the nation. Many notable figures took to social media to praise the men in blue for their remarkable accomplishment. However, one person's lack of acknowledgment online has triggered fresh speculation regarding her relationship status.
Natasa Stankovic, wife of Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya, was noticeably absent from social media in the aftermath of the victory. While many partners ofplayers publicly conveyed their congratulations and pride, Stankovic remained unusually quiet. This has promoted fresh questions from curious online observers over whether all is well between the couple privately.
Pandya played a pivotal supportive role in India's road to glory. From important cameos with the bat to tight spells with the ball, his flexibility was invaluable to the team's balance. Thus, his redemption on the big stage after a challenging IPL held additional significance. Seeing him break down in tears after the win highlighted the personal journey.
However, unlike others such as Anushka Sharma who showered praise on husband Virat Kohli, Stankovic did not make even an indirect reference. This has fueled rumors that were circulating in recent months alleging the pair were experiencing turbulence in their marriage. Stankovic had briefly removed Pandya's last name from her social profiles, adding mystery at the time.
While it's impossible to understand dynamics of their private relationship based on online behavior alone, Stankovic's atypical social media silence post such a major career milestone for Pandya does invite fresh speculation. The couple married in 2020 and have a young son, leaving fans hopeful they will withstand any troubles. Only time will tell if this was merely an unusual one-off, or signs of deeper issues requiring resolution.
