Additional photos and videos revealed more of the Hot Wheels-themed decorations. Agastya was seen holding a racing flag while his Serbian friends sang happy birthday as he cut his customized cake. Natasa also shared a picture of a well-laid grazing table. Hardik’s brother, cricketer Krunal Pandya, left a supportive white heart emoji in the comments.
Despite the joyful celebration, Natasa faced criticism online. Some commenters felt Hardik’s absence was notable and suggested the celebration should have included him. However, many defended Natasa, pointing out that Hardik was in Sri Lanka for a match on Agastya’s birthday and highlighting that she was doing her best as a mother. Supportive comments urged critics to be more understanding and less judgmental.
Earlier that day, Natasa shared a heartfelt note dedicated to Agastya on Instagram, expressing her love and commitment to him. Natasa wrote a long, loving note: “My buba, you brought peace, love, and joy into my life. My beautiful boy, you are such a blessing, so sweet and kind… always stay this way. I won’t let this world change your kind soul. I will always be by your side… hand in hand. I love you, Mama.”

The couple recently confirmed their separation. Hardik announced on Instagram that he and Natasa had “mutually parted ways” after four years together, stating that it was a “tough decision” made in the “best interest” of both parties. The pair, who married in 2020, emphasized that they had tried their best to make it work.
