Nataša Stanković: Age, Boyfriend, First Husband, Divorce, Career, Movies, Reality Shows, Net Worth and More

Nataša Stankovic is a Serbian actress, model and trained dancer that has worked in the field of Bollywood films, music videos, brand endorsements and reality television. She became the centre of one of the most talked about personal stories in Indian cricket – the marriage to and subsequent separation with Hardik Pandya. By each of those chapters, she had created a career and a public identity that was never less than, in some way or other, partially her own, even when the limelight was that of someone else.

In 2012, Nataša Stanković came to Mumbai with a 17-year-old background in dance training, and no known connections to Bollywood. Less than a year on, she received her first film credit. In the third one, she was in the Bigg Boss house.

She is a mother of a son. Also, as of 2026, a woman who is rewriting her own book on the post-marriage chapter, on her own terms. This is her entire biography – where she was born, what she erected in India, how her own life has been lived, and who she is now.

Nataša Stanković Age

Nataša Stankovic was born on March 4, 1992, Požarevac, Serbia. As of 2026, she is 34 years old. She has a Pisces zodiac sign. She was raised to a middle-class family of Serbs in Požarevac – a city of central Serbia – where she developed an interest in dance at a young age. At the age of three, she had already acquired movement. By the time she became a teenager, the kind of passion she developed as a little girl had turned into a discipline.

Educational Qualification

She was enrolled in Ballet High School in Novi Sad, Serbia where she studied about 17 years in different forms of dancing. That kind of long-standing classical training is not just a biographical epiphany – it is the basis of her professional credibility as a dancer in India, where dance ability in Bollywood item numbers and reality shows is both visible and practically assessed.

This is where she got the title of Miss Sports of Serbia pageant in 2010, a moment that marked her transformation into a dance student and one with a public profile. Following the experience that she has acquired in modelling assignments in Serbia, she had made the decision to move and settle in Mumbai in 2012 to create a career in the entertainment industry in India.

Family Members

Goran Stanković and Radmila Stankovic (mother and father respectively) are the parents of Nataša. They both originate from Požarevac where the family is residing. Her brother Nenad Stanković would later immigrate to Canada, and is currently a photographer. The family has been very encouraging towards her career in India – she has been interviewed on several occasions on how her mother in particular has been a source of inspiration and grounding.

Even when Nataša is on the busiest schedule of her career in India she has continued to visit Serbia regularly to visit her family. The connections of her son Agastya to the Stankovic family have not stopped after their separation with Nataša reportedly spending some time with him in Serbia.

Nataša Stanković Boyfriend

Before Hardik Pandya dated Nataša Stanković, the actor and model had dated actor and model Aly Goni, who was his girlfriend during Nach Baliye 9 in 2019. The show ended the relationship as both confirmed the breakup without any significant disagreement among the masses. 

There are also some sources that state that a former connection was also Sam Merchant (model and businessman), although this was not officially confirmed by either party.

Nataša Stanković First Husband Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya is the only and first husband of Nataša Stanković. No proven record of any previous marriage has been found and searches on Natasa Stankovic first husband have always given the same documented answer: They got married in May 2020. The pair met at one of the night clubs in Mumbai in 2018. Their relationship has been a secret until about two years ago when the relationship became public.

In a set of photographs taken on a yacht, Hardik Pandya announced their engagement on January 1, 2020. This proposal itself had been made at a party in Dubai. The couple had a small court ceremony on May 31, 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown, which was limited to close family only.

On July 30, 2020 their son Agastya H. Pandya was born. On February 14, 2023, they revived their wedding vows in a big ceremony at the city of Udaipur, Rajasthan, attended by the family and friends and widely covered by the entertainment media.

Nataša Stanković and Hardik Pandya Divorce

Nataša Stanković and Hardik Pandya announced their parting ways together in July 2024. The announcement itself was done as a joint decision, managed with apparent discretion so as to keep the number of people spectating the announcement to a minimum. They both agreed to co-parent their son, Agastya. The divorce was among the more high-profile celebrity news stories in mid-2024 in India. In the aftermath Nataša was exposed to a somewhat high level of public scrutiny and internet criticism, which Nataša successfully navigated by remaining mostly silent on the subject in her public statements. She is located in Serbia, and she is dedicated to motherhood and being a free worker as of 2026.

Nataša Stanković Career

Modelling To Bollywood

When Nataša came to Mumbai in 2012, she began where most foreign models entering the Indian market begin; commercial endorsements. Her first advertising work was with Johnson and Johnson and was followed by advertisements with Cadbury, Philips, Tetley, J Hampstead and Durex with the last one featuring Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh. She also modeled in India Runway Week, and was featured on the cover of Just Urbane Magazine in October 2018.

In 2013, she made her Bollywood debut with Satyagraha directed by Prakash Jha. She starred in her first dance number Aiyo Ji opposite Ajay Devgn – a minor but noticeable appearance that put her in a high profile political drama. In 2014, she appeared in more films, such as Action Jackson and the Tamil movie Arima Nambi.

Her first big moment in the realms of mass media, however, was not in a film but in a music video. The 2015 hip-hop song by Badshah and Aastha Gill titled DJ Waley Babu, introduced Nataša to a much larger audience than all of her film appearances had. Her appearance in the song made her have a certain degree of cultural visibility which films with smaller theatrical releases simply could not equal. She continued with Mehbooba of Fukrey Returns (2017) which also had a wide view.

Her film roles in the mid-to-late 2010s included 7 Hours to Go (2016) where she played a cop and performed action scenes – a departure of the dancing roles she was primarily identified with – Dana Kayonu (2016), Daddy (2017), FryDay, Lupt, and a cameo in Zero (2018) alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, and Katrina Kaif. Her first digital appearance came in 2019 with The Holiday on The Zoom Studios where she plays a role named Sara alongside Adah Sharma.

Reality Shows: Bigg Boss and Nach Baliye

In 2014, Nataša entered the house as a contestant in Bigg Boss Season 8, and stayed in the house around one month before she was evicted on October 19. The series provided her with long-term exposure in primetime when her career in the movie industry had just begun. She assimilated with the environment- and the necessity to communicate in Hindi within the home- with the same kind of discipline that would have been expected of her given the training background.

In 2019, she took part in the Star Plus dance reality show, Nach Baliye 9, alongside her then-boyfriend Aly Goni. The two made it to the five top. The nature of their relationship and the dynamics of their relationship on-screen continued to draw the interest of the media and its audience throughout the season. They were then to part ways, with Aly Goni citing the difference in culture as the cause.

• It was in the Bigg Boss house, where participants must only speak Hindi in order to remain, that she learned Hindi.

Conclusion

There is nothing in the story of Nataša Stanković in India of either sudden arrival or celebrity-by-association. With a somber background in craft, she had established her career over a decade with modelling, films, music videos, and reality television, and had gone through a high-profile marriage and a high-profile split without becoming as petulant as most public figures do. At 34, having a son, and a career that she continues to work on, and a life divided between India and Serbia, she occupies a place in the consciousness of people, which she has earned, and not inherited. What she creates of 2026 and beyond will write the next chapter of a narrative that started far out of Mumbai, in a tiny Serbian town and 17 years of ballet training.
