Virat Kohli is surprised after Pandya announces engagement

With all-rounder Hardik Pandya breaking the news of his engagement with Serbian actress Natasa Stankovic in an Instagram post on Wednesday, skipper and colleague Virat Kohli has expressed surprise.  Going by Kohli’s Instagram congratulations, he was not aware of Pandya’s love life.  

Meanwhile, the Internet is agog with jokes about the Pandya-Stankovic union.  “Hardik Pandya got engaged to ‘DJ Waley Babu’ fame Natasa Stankovic. When Hardik proposed, she initially said no. She later said yes when Hardik told her that he will play her song,” says one Sagar.  

Making it about colour:

Then there are those who are unfortunately making it about colour.  Since Pandya’s girlfriend is fair-skinned, racist jokes have been cracked.  “People are applauding Hardik Pandya for getting a girl whose complexion is much lighter than his more than they applauded him for his professional achievements,” says a Twitter user.
