Natasha Poonawala gets pulled into Hardik Pandya-Natasa Stankovic's divorce controversy!

Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya is much in the news these days. The reason: initially it was his poor performance as a cricketer and the Captain for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024, and now it is a rumour of his divorce from Serbian actress-model Natasa Stankovic. While the couple have stayed mum about their divorce rumour, both Hardik and Natasa have been spotted separately on different occasions. Recently Natasa was seen hanging out with a friend in Mumbai, while the news is that Hardik is on vacation abroad without her.

Meanwhile, amidst Hardik and Natasa's divorce rumours, another celebrity has been pulled into the controversy. And it is none other than socialite Natasha Poonawala! Surprised, right? Read on to know why Natasha Poonawala is embroiled in this controversy.

Who is Natasha Poonawala?
For the unversed, Natasha Poonawala is a fashionista and the Executive Director of the Serum Institute of India. Natasha is married to Adar Poonawala- CEO of the Serum Institute of India, and together the lovely couple has two sons named--Darius and Cyrus. However, in a surprising twist of tale, with Natasa Stankovic trending on the internet for her rumoured divorce with cricketer Hardik Pandya, many people have started looking up for her on social media. And for those who haven't noticed the slight difference in how their names are spelt have landed up on Natasha Poonawala's social media profile instead! This has created quite a comedy of errors on social media.

Many netizens have even hilariously commented on Natasha Poonawala's pictures admitting that they have landed on the wrong profile. For instance, one user wrote, "Ye to Hardik ka Nathasha nehi hai", while another user said, "Mai to Hardik pandiya ki natasha ko search kar raha tha apsara hogyi".

On the other hand, Natasha Poonawala, who has over 784,000 followers on Instagram, has stayed quiet about being confused with Natasa Stankovic.

Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic's relationship
Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic first met each other while partying at a nightclub in Mumbai in 2018, and it was love at first sight for the couple. On January 1, 2020, Hardik proposed marriage to Natasa while on a vacation in Dubai and the couple got married during the COVID-19 lockdown in May 2020. In July 2020, Hardik and Natasa welcomed their first child-- son Agastya Pandya. They seemed to be very much in love and share a cute chemistry. So much so that Hardik and Natasa even renewed their wedding vows in a grand celebration in Udaipur, Rajasthan in February 2023. But now with Natasa being absent from IPL 2024 and not seen in support of Hardik, and with her also dropping 'Pandya' from her name on social media, rumours are rife about trouble in their paradise.
