"Observe more, have more empathy": Natasa Stankovic amid Hardik Pandya divorce rumors

Actress Natasa Stankovic addressed the public on Wednesday with a video message on Instagram, calling for people to be "less judgemental" amid ongoing rumors about her divorce from cricketer Hardik Pandya. In the video, she reflected on the quickness with which people judge others without understanding their situations. She stated, "If we see someone who is acting out of their character, we don’t slow down, we don’t observe, and we have no empathy. We straight jump into judging." Natasa's silence over Team India and Hardik's recent T20 World Cup win has sparked significant criticism, fueling speculations about their marriage.

Despite her indirect approach in addressing the rumors, Natasa emphasized the importance of empathy and patience. "We don’t know what has happened, what is behind the whole thing, the whole act, the whole situation," she continued, urging people to "observe more, have more empathy and be patient with people." Speculations about the couple's relationship troubles began after Natasa archived her wedding photos on social media following the IPL 2024, which some reports later dismissed as a PR stunt. Nonetheless, the rumors persisted, with fans noting her absence in celebratory posts by Hardik featuring their son Agastya.
