A video of Natasa Stankovic receiving help from her best friend, Alex to drape her saree has sparked controversy.
Natasa Stankovic married Hardik Pandya in 2020 and reaffirmed their marriage vows in 2023. But a year later, they called it quits. Fans were heartbroken after Natasa and Hardik's split, and some even blamed Natasa for their divorce on the internet. Social media sensed a split between Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic long before they officially announced it. Natasa, meanwhile, has been frequently spotted out with her friend, Aleksandar Alex Ilic, since the divorce. Recently, a video of Natasa and Aleksandar dressing up for a Diwali party went viral for all the wrong reasons.
In a recent viral video, Natasa Stankovic, ex-wife of cricketer, Hardik Pandya, shared a light-hearted moment with fitness trainer, Aleksandar Alex Ilic. Alex can be seen in the video jokingly assisting Natasa in draping and stitching her black saree prior to her departure for a Diwali party. This gesture, shared by Alex, demonstrated their closeness and generated a lot of online discussion. Alex posted the video, and he humorously captioned it as "I should become a draper and tailor." Natasa further posted this on her Instagram story and captioned it:
"My best friend is better than yours."

Some of Hardik's fans, however, took exception to the light-hearted exchange and promptly started making fun of Natasa. There has been conjecture over Natasa and Alex's connection for some time. Natasa hasn't acknowledged or refuted any of the persistent rumours regarding her relationship with Alex, some of which even indicate that they are relatives.
The video sparked renewed confusion among followers, with one user commenting, "Divorced for a reason," while another one wrote, "Kon bol raha tha ke ye dono bhai behen hai." His Instagram post has been filled with abusive comments, with Hardik Pandya's fans criticising both Natasa and Aleksandar for their close proximity.
Despite the rumours, Natasa and Alex have often been seen together at social events, including the recent star-studded Diwali party in Mumbai. To the event, the two dressed in matching ensembles. Natasa wore a gorgeous black saree with gold adornments, while Alex complemented her with traditional clothing.
The public has been closely monitoring Natasa's life and relationships ever since she split from Hardik Pandya. Earlier this year, the ex-couple, who were married in 2020, declared their separation, saying it was a mutual choice taken for the benefit of their son, Agastya. Even though they are no longer together, Hardik continues to play a big role in Agastya's life. Agastya lives with his mother, Natasa.
Hardik and Natasa announced together that they had decided to split up after four years of dating. They made it clear that they felt this choice was best for them both and that they had given the relationship their everything. Considering the happiness, respect, and friendship they enjoyed, as well as the family they had created together, they admitted that it was a tough decision. They said:
"After 4 years of being together, (we) 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."
