Past Dating Rumors
Before his relationship with Natasa, Hardik Pandya was linked to several women from Bollywood and the modeling industry:
- Elli AvrRam: Hardik was rumored to be dating Swedish-Greek actress Elli AvrRam around 2017–2018. She was spotted at various family functions of the Pandya family but the two reportedly broke up amicably.
- Urvashi Rautela: Briefly linked with Hardik through speculative media reports, but both parties denied any relationship.
- Other Models and Socialites: Given his high-profile lifestyle, Pandya was often spotted with models and influencers, although most associations remained unconfirmed rumors.
Family Support and Public Image
Hardik’s family, especially his brother Krunal Pandya, has been very supportive of his personal choices. The Pandya brothers share a close bond, and Hardik’s family was often seen celebrating milestones with Natasa and Agastya.
Despite personal rumors, Hardik has maintained a professional image in cricket. His leadership with Mumbai Indians (and formerly Gujarat Titans) and his national team comeback has kept his fanbase strong.
