Reports of Badshah and Isha Rikhi’s Troubled Relationship Emerged on Social Media in July.
Badshah and Isha Rikhi Confirm Divorce After Weeks of Relationship Rumours
Mumbai: Rapper Badshah and Punjabi actor Isha Rikhi have officially confirmed that they are ending their marriage, bringing weeks of speculation about their relationship to a close. The couple shared a joint message on Instagram Stories on Monday night, asking fans and the media to respect their privacy as they move forward separately.
The announcement came after growing rumours in July that the couple was facing difficulties in their relationship. Neither Badshah nor Isha had directly addressed the speculation at the time, leaving fans to interpret their social media activity.
In his Instagram Story, Badshah said that he and Isha had mutually decided to part ways and continue on separate paths. He stressed that the decision was made with mutual respect and requested people not to speculate further about the reasons behind their separation.
The rapper also made it clear that the joint statement would be their only comment on the matter. His appeal for privacy reflects the personal nature of the decision, particularly as the couple’s relationship had attracted considerable public attention.
Isha Rikhi shared a similar statement with her followers, confirming that the separation was mutual.
For fans who had followed their relationship, the announcement marked a significant change. What had initially been discussed as online speculation has now become an officially confirmed chapter in both their lives.
Cryptic Social Media Posts Fuelled SpeculationRumours about trouble between Badshah and Isha began circulating widely in July. Around the same period, Isha shared a montage featuring pictures and videos of herself and Badshah.
Her caption, “Every storm is a lesson. Every prayer is hope,” accompanied by heartbreak and folded-hands emojis, quickly caught the attention of social media users. Many wondered whether the post was connected to difficulties in her marriage.
The speculation intensified after Isha’s mother, Poonam Rikhi, shared a series of social media posts referring to karma. While such posts did not directly mention Badshah or the marriage, they added to the growing discussion online.
Marriage Had Been Confirmed Earlier This YearIsha had publicly confirmed her marriage to Badshah during an Instagram Ask Me Anything session in June. Their wedding was reportedly an intimate affair, keeping the personal milestone away from a large media spotlight.
The divorce announcement has also arrived amid reports that Isha Rikhi could be considered as a contestant for Bigg Boss 20 , which is set to be hosted by Salman Khan. Her possible participation has generated additional interest around her personal and professional life.
For Isha, the coming period could therefore bring attention both to her career and to her personal journey following the separation.
Badshah's Previous MarriageThis is not Badshah’s first experience with divorce. The rapper was previously married to Jasmine Masih. The couple separated before finalising their divorce in 2020.
Badshah and Jasmine have a daughter, Jessemy Grace Masih Singh, who was born in January 2017.

For the couple, the focus now appears to be on moving ahead separately, while fans wait to see what the next chapter brings for both Badshah and Isha Rikhi.
