About Badshah and Isha Rikhi
Badshah married Isha Rikhi in an intimate ceremony in March 2026, after reportedly dating for around four years. The wedding was kept largely private, with pictures later surfacing on social media through Isha’s mother, Poonam Rikhi. The couple were seen dressed in traditional wedding attire and participating in customary rituals.
Rumours of their separation started doing the rounds after she shared a video with cryptic caption, “Every storm is a lesson. Every prayer is hope.” She later shared a note stating that she chose courage over fear and stopped pretending everything was okay. “There are battles that leave no visible scars. For a long time, I remained silent because I was afraid,” she wrote. Isha also claimed that she felt overwhelmed by what she believed was her husband’s “influence, power, and resources.” According to her, it was fear that convinced her to keep things to herself. She also clarified that her silence was survival and should not be mistaken for consent.
For those unfamiliar, Isha is known for her work in Punjabi cinema, including films such as Jatt Boys Putt Jattan De, Ardaas, and Happy Go Lucky, besides her Bollywood debut in Nawabzaade. The marriage marked Badshah’s second wedding after his divorce from Jasmine in 2020.
