Team India’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is known for his flamboyant style both on and off the field. But long before his marriage to actress Natasha Stankovic, Hardik had two major Bollywood crushes—and he wasn't shy about admitting it.

During a fiery rapid-fire round on Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’, Hardik revealed he would love to take Kareena Kapoor Khan on a date. Known for her grace and glam, Kareena has always been a fan favorite—and clearly, Hardik wasn’t immune either.

Marriage Material? Not Kareena, But Parineeti!

Interestingly, when Karan asked who he would want to marry, Hardik Pandya named Parineeti Chopra, not Kareena. Though nothing ever came of it, this confession made headlines, giving fans a glimpse into the cricketer’s Bollywood fascinations.

From Secret Wedding to Divorce

Hardik later got engaged to Natasha Stankovic in January 2020, just before the world went into lockdown. The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony during the pandemic and welcomed their son Agastya the same year. They later celebrated their union with both Hindu and Christian rituals after the pandemic.

However, their love story came to an end in 2024, as the couple officially got divorced, and Hardik returned to the single life.
