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, noting that the experience of broken trust changed her perspective on relationships. Host Salman Khan advised Rikhi to focus on her own identity rather than being defined as “Badshah’s ex-wife.” By mid-September, Rikhi described the relationship as “very toxic,” claiming she experienced physical, emotional, and social cheating. She stated she only realized the full extent of the situation after the relationship ended, noting she felt she had been “played the whole time.” On September 25, 2026, Rikhi was evicted from Bigg Boss 20 after receiving the fewest fan votes. Following her departure, Rikhi shared a note on Instagram thanking fans for their support during a period filled with “laughter, tears, and significant challenges.” She admitted to experiencing emotional breakdowns during her three weeks in the house and stated she is treating the experience as a “learning opportunity to better understand herself.” She also issued an apology to fans she may have disappointed, stating, “I know I might have disappointed some of you, and if I have, I sincerely apologize.” In early October 2026, Rikhi addressed controversies following her eviction, specifically responding to comments made by Mahi Vij regarding a “trauma” statement.
