Ashish Nehra’s ‘Devdas’ Joke on Hardik Pandya’s Love Life Sparks Laughter on Podcast

Hardik Pandya’s love life keeps drawing as much attention as match scores, and it surfaced again during a recent podcast. Ashish Nehra joked about Hardik Pandya’s relationships while chatting with Harbhajan Singh and others, linking the cricketer to a famous film character and hinting at frequent partner changes.

The comments came on the podcast Who's The Boss?, where Ashish Nehra and Harbhajan Singh joined with Rushma Nehra and Geeta Basra. The couples played a game that asked them to match Bollywood film titles with cricketers. When the film 'Devdas’ appeared, Harbhajan immediately said, "Hardik Pandya."

Ashish Nehra pushed back on Harbhajan’s pick and questioned, "Why?" Ashish Nehra then delivered the line that sparked headlines, saying, "I have heard woh toh roz Paro change karta hai (He changes Paro everyday)." The light comment still pointed at Hardik Pandya’s highly discussed dating history and public breakups.

Earlier in the same podcast game, the film title 'Khiladi Number One’ led to teasing aimed at Harbhajan Singh. Ashish Nehra said, "Harbhajan was Khiladi Number One in the department of girls before marriage." Geeta Basra quickly replied, "This even I know that he is not Khiladi Number One off the field."

Harbhajan Singh also shared a wild club memory from the UK involving Ashish Nehra. Harbhajan said, "I looked back and Ashish was sitting on that bald guy's shoulder and playing on his head. That guy is also enjoying." The story kept the tone playful while the group continued linking films with cricketers.

Hardik Pandya’s personal journey has often stayed in headlines. Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic married on 31 May 2020, during the Covid-19 lockdown. Their son Agastya was born in July 2020. The pair renewed vows in Udaipur, Rajasthan, on 14 February 2023, but confirmed separation in July 2024.

After the divorce from Natasa Stankovic, Hardik Pandya was linked with British singer Jasmin Walia. Hardik Pandya and Jasmin Walia were seen holidaying together, and Jasmin Walia even travelled on the Indian cricketers’ team bus.
