Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has joyfully reunited with his son, Agastya, marking their first meeting since his divorce from Natasa Stankovic. The couple, who initially tied the knot in 2020 and reaffirmed their vows in 2023, publicly announced their separation in July. Following the split, Agastya traveled to Serbia with his mother. Earlier this month, Natasa brought Agastya to Hardik’s home in Mumbai, but the cricketer was away on a holiday and missed this important opportunity to connect with his son.

In a touching video that quickly gained popularity online, Hardik was visibly elated as he embraced Agastya for the first time since the divorce. He was also seen holding his brother Krunal Pandya’s child, which added to the heartwarming nature of the moment, highlighting the profound joy he felt during their reunion.

Both Hardik and Natasa publicly addressed their decision to divorce through social media channels, and they have since pursued their own separate paths. Reports from August suggested that the couple faced challenges in their relationship, particularly regarding their differing personalities. Sources revealed that Hardik’s vibrant and confident demeanor was difficult for Natasa to adapt to. “His larger-than-life personality was overwhelming for her, and she struggled to find common ground,” a source shared with Times Now.

The insider elaborated that Natasa’s choice to end the marriage was not made lightly; it resulted from extensive reflection. “It was an emotionally taxing decision for her, developed over time rather than being made impulsively. The realization of their differences ultimately prompted her to take this step,” the source explained.

In the meantime, Hardik is not part of the Indian Test squad for the ongoing series against Bangladesh. He hasn’t participated in a Test match for over six years, making a return in the near future seem doubtful. On Sunday, India achieved a decisive 280-run victory over Bangladesh in the first Test, leading the series 1-0 ahead of the concluding match set for September 27 in Kanpur.
