Actress-model Natasa Stankovic and Team India cricketer Hardik Pandya wished their son Agastya on his fourth birthday on Wednesday following their recent separation.

“My buba. You brought peace, love and joy into my life. My beautiful boy. You are such a blessing, so sweet and kind. Always stay this way. I won’t let this world change your kind soul. I will always be by your side…hand in hand. I love you,” wrote Natasa on Wednesday, sharing a bunch of throwback pictures with her son, who celebrated his 4th birthday on July 30.

The carousel includes pictures of Natasa and Agastya visiting a zoo together and relaxing on a couch. The final picture captures their shadows holding hands as they walk together.

Hardik also sent his son warm wishes, love and blessings on his special day. “You keep me going every single day! Happy birthday to my partner in crime, my whole heart, my Agu Love you beyond words,” he wrote alongside a video of him and Agastya spending time together.

The video shows Hardik teaching Agastya fun poses and then playing a game of Jenga with him.

Hardik and Natasa recently confirmed that they have decided to part ways.

“After 4 years of being together, Hardik and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest for the both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew a family,” read Natasa’s post on Instagram.

The 29-year-old actress also said she and Hardik would continue to co-parent Agastya.

The announcement came shortly after Natasa was seen leaving Mumbai with her son.

Hardik and Natasa got engaged on January 1, 2020. They had a low-key court wedding on May 31, 2020, amid the first phase of the pandemic-induced lockdown. Agastya was born on July 30, 2020. On February 14, 2023, they renewed their wedding vows in a ceremony in Udaipur.

However, Natasa’s absence from this year’s IPL and World Cup matches, along with her silence on Team India’s World Cup win, sparked rumours of their separation.

Meanwhile, rumours of Hardik dating actress Ananya Panday began circulating on the internet, shortly after a video of them dancing together at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding on July 12 went viral.

As per media reports, the duo also began following each other on social media after the wedding ceremony.
