Who is Mahieka Sharma, the model rumoured to be dating Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya?

After four years of marital bliss, Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic announced their separation in 2023 on social media. However, the couple didn’t reveal the reason behind taking this extreme step.

Now, the reason has been revealed and is quite shocking as it suggests that since Hardik was full of himself, Natasa couldn’t handle it.

“He was too flamboyant for her, too full of himself. Natasa could not handle it anymore. She realised that there was a major gap between how they were as people. She tried to match it up to him but it made her feel uncomfortable. This was a never-ending process so it became tiring after a while. Natasa was not able to keep pace hence she decided to take a step back,” a source said to Times Now.
