Divorce of Badshah and Isha Rikhi

Overview

Indian rapper Badshah and Punjabi actress Isha Rikhi announced their mutual separation in late August 2026, ending their marriage only five months after their private wedding in March 2026.

In a joint statement released via Instagram, the couple stated, “I and Isha Rikhi have mutually decided to part ways and move forward on our separate paths,” while requesting privacy to avoid speculation. Following the announcement, Rikhi described the experience as the “worst phase of my life” and stated she felt “cheated.”

In early September 2026, Rikhi entered the reality show Bigg Boss 20. During the premiere, she addressed her emotional state, reiterating that the marriage breakdown was the “worst phase” of her life and noting that the experience of broken trust changed her perspective on relationships. She expressed a desire to use the platform to establish her own persona beyond her personal history.

Host Salman Khan advised Rikhi to focus on her own identity rather than being defined as “Badshah’s ex-wife,” urging her to leave the past behind and avoid discussing her former husband inside the house. He further suggested she should not give credit to those who hurt her. In response to the show's environment, Rikhi noted her intention to protect her mental peace by ignoring personal attacks from other contestants, though she cautioned that her reactions would depend on whether she feels triggered.
