Natasa restores wedding images with Hardik; divorce news just PR stunt?

The news that Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya and his wife Nataša Stanković are getting divorced has been a hot topic on social media for the past few days. Topics ranged from their encounter at a night club, pre-marital pregnancy and subsequent birth of the baby. Social media had judged that Serbian model Nataša got close to Hardik, got married and had his baby seeing his wealth alone.

The move by the model who removed the words Pandya from her Instagram handle name Nataša Stankovic Pandya was behind the news that Hardik and his wife are breaking up. It was also rumoured that Nataša will have to be paid 70 percent of Hardik's property during the divorce. Along with that, pictures and reports surfaced that Nataša was dating her ex-boyfriend. Neither Hardik nor Nataša had officially responded to any of these reports.

Hardik and Nataša don't post pictures together and Hardik didn't even wish her on her birthday on social media. The fact that Nataša did not come to the stadium even once to watch the IPL matches of Hardik's Mumbai Indians was described as a proof of the separation of the two. However, Nataša Stanković has re-posted the wedding pictures now, dispelling all the rumours. With this, the news about the separation of the marriage is ending.

However, netizens are now alleging that the reports of divorce were a PR stunt to restore Hardik's image. They also give a clear reason for this. The change of captaincy from Rohit Sharma to Hardik was in every way a setback for Hardik and Mumbai Indians. The fans blamed Hardik for removing Rohit from the captaincy.

Whenever Mumbai Indians came to play an IPL match at the Wankhede Stadium, the home ground of Mumbai Indians, and Hardik's native Gujarat, Hardik was received by the crowd with chants of Rohit, Rohit. Hardik had to face so much booing and hate from the Indian cricket fans that no other Indian player had faced. Fan fury doubled as Mumbai Indians finished in the 10th position.

With this, before the end of the IPL season, there were reports that Hardik is not having a good time not only on the field but also in his personal life. However, it is now being alleged that all this was just to gain the sympathy of the majority of cricket fans who support Rohit Sharma. Hardik, who is also the team's vice-captain for India's T20 World Cup, is currently in America with the team.
