Ishita Raj admits having a crush on Hardik Pandya and shares that she is really fond of the cricketer.

Kartik Aaryan’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama actress Ishita Raj has said that she ‘loves’ Hardik Pandya. In a recent interview, Ishita was asked about the cricketer when she admitted having a crush on him and shared that she is really fond of Pandya. “He is a great cricket all-rounder. It is fun to watch him bat. I love him, he is really one of my favourite cricketers,” she told Filmigyan.

Interestingly, this comes at a time when Hardik is rumoured to be dating singer Jasmin Walia. Speculations regarding their dating life began last month after eagle-eyed followers noticed that the two shared photos on Instagram by the same pool, with the scenic Greek landscape in the background.

Jasmin posted a sultry picture of herself in a blue bikini, covered with a breezy blue shirt, stylishly posed by a pool with the stunning Mykonos scenery behind her. Her look was completed with a wide-brimmed straw hat and oversized sunglasses, adding to the chic vacation vibes.

On the other hand, Hardik shared a video of himself walking around the same pool, dressed in a casual yet fashionable outfit consisting of cream-colored pants, a patterned shirt, and sunglasses. The matching backgrounds in their posts sparked a wave of curiosity among fans.

Hardik Pandya was previously married to Natasa Stankovic. The two, who tied the knot in May 2020 and renewed their wedding vows according to the Hindu and Christian rituals in February 2023, confirmed their separation in July 2024. They issued a joint statement and mentioned that it was a “tough decision” for both of them and added that they will continue to co-parent their son, Agastya.

“After 4 years of being together, Hardik and I 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,” the statement read.

“We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us privacy during this difficult and sensitive time,” it added.

Natasa is now in her hometown, Serbia, with their 4-year-old son, Agastya.
