The Serbian model revealed that she went out with a few of her friends, one of whom was an acquaintance of Hardik as well. She further reminisced the moment the cricketer walked into the club wearing a hat and some blingy outfit. Sharing how she was mesmerised with his persona, Natasa said:
"I went out with a few of my friends and there was also a friend of mine who apparently was also HP’s friend. Then he walks in a hat, some kind of a shawl and blingy-blingy everywhere. In so many years in India, I had not seen such a person, such a persona. I was like, ‘What is this?’ ‘Who is this?’"
Further in the confessional, Natasa added that as she was about to approach the cricketer for a handshake, as she was meeting him for the very first time. However, Hardik went straight for a hug. She shared that the cricketer has always been very friendly. For the unversed, the couple met at a nightclub, and it was love at first sight for the cricketer. Natasa added:
"You know when you’re meeting someone for the first time, I was going for the hand, and he came for a hug. Don’t know the name, nothing, he was just very friendly, that’s how we met for the first time."

On July 18, 2024, they put an end to all the rumours and confirmed that they had decided to part ways. Revealing that this was a tough decision for both of them, they shared that their son, Agastya, whom they welcomed in 2020, would remain at the centre of both their lives, and they would co-parent him.
