Hardik Pandya set to have a grand wedding with Natasa Stankovic in Udaipur on February 14 - Reports
Star Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya is reportedly set to renew his wedding vows with wife Natasa Stankovic in Udaipur on Tuesday, February 14. The couple got hitched in a low-key ceremony back in 2020, but have now planned a grand ceremony to celebrate their love.
Hardik surprised a few fans with a series of announcements in May 2020. He got engaged to Natasa Stankovic in January, and four months later, he announced her pregnancy and their marriage via an Instagram post.
The Indian all-rounder could not organize a grand wedding because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with no restrictions in place now, fans should expect a lavish ceremony. Sources informed Hindustan Times:
“They got married in a court back then. Everything was rushed when it happened. The idea of them having a lavish wedding has been on their mind ever since. They all are very excited about it.”
