He had never, ever felt like this before. Or perhaps he did, when his parents told him they were proud of him, but having your own child makes you feel completely different, doesn't it?
Hardik was the happiest he'd been since the Koffee With Karan episode, because it doesn't matter how old stuff gets to him. He constantly wondered if he had been mistaken in thinking that making sex jokes and becoming a fuckboy were things that made you popular with other people. Why was he insulted, then? He didn't make the females do anything, did he?
Why did Natasa start dating him despite the fact that she already knew everything? Hardik always assumed Natasa was pitying him and sympathising with him, so when he realised she was for forever, he didn't wait since with her, even eternity looked short.
But this isn't about the past; it's about the present; it's about his son. He had already planned all of the affection he would lavish on the boy, not only spoiling him to death but also teaching him life lessons.

When Natasa found out she was pregnant, she was all over the place. Sure, she was scared at first since she didn't know what to do or how to handle a child, but the joy eventually won out.
She was worried about Hardik's reaction because they weren't even together. What if he left like all the others or told her to abort?
She tightened up again as she watched Hardik assimilate the information and the blank face he had on his face.
Hardik once again demonstrated that he was not like the rest, that he was unique. Hardik's million-dollar grin when she told him, not sure whether he wanted babies, calmed her worries to an incredible degree.
Natasa had returned from Nach Baliye, and no matter how strong her friendship with Aly was, she couldn't stand hearing rumours of them dating again. They were finally friends again, and she didn't want it to be spoiled by a few people who wanted to snoop about in her affairs.
When she initially met Hardik, she was hesitant because she didn't want to become embroiled in conflicts with such a famous person since it would jeopardise her privacy. But when she met Hardik, she was taken aback. The media's portrayal of him was not the same as the star in front of her.
When they started talking, they realised they had a lot more in common than they had realised. They began to socialise together, and one night Hardik suggested that they go out and get to know one another. "Do you mean a date?" asks Natasa with a smile. Hardik grinned before shaking his head no and saying, "Let's not put a label on it now, we'll get to that point." After all, I'd like to take things a little more slowly."
That worked well for Natasa too so she consented and halfway through 2019 they got to that point too. They were a couple, they were with each other, dating. The proposal wasn't quite out of a movie, but it was obviously from her boyfriend's heart.
"I think we've reached that moment," Hardik stated as they were dining together. To be fair, Natasa didn't understand what he was asking until he said, "Will you be my girlfriend?" There was no one bowing, no ring or rose, no sunset, nothing but them, and that was enough for them.
That night, after Natasa said yes and they got back in the car, Hardik said that he had asked the cricket team for advice on how to propose to a girl and that they were going to curse him a lot because they had bared a nervous Hardik for two hours and Hardik hadn't followed them.
