Isha Rikhi is having quite a moment — for reasons both professional and deeply personal. Just as she gears up to walk into the Bigg Boss 20 house hosted by Salman Khan, the actress-model has also announced the end of her marriage to rapper Badshah, barely five months after they tied the knot. Here’s everything worth knowing about her before she steps into the spotlight.
A Career Built in Punjabi Cinema
Isha made her acting debut back in 2013 with “Jatt Boys Putt Jattan De,” opposite Sippy Gill, and steadily built a name for herself in the Punjabi film industry. She earned wider recognition with “Happy Go Lucky” and went on to star in “What the Jatt!!” alongside Gippy Grewal’s critically acclaimed “Ardaas.” Her range expanded further when she crossed over into Hindi cinema in 2018 with “Nawabzaade” — a move that broadened her audience well beyond regional cinema while she kept her personal life largely under wraps.
From Private Romance to Public Divorce
Isha and Badshah reportedly crossed paths at a mutual friend’s party in 2021, and their relationship stayed quiet and low-key for years. That changed in March 2026, when the two got married in an intimate ceremony — a detail that only became public after Isha’s mother shared wedding photos online, which Isha later confirmed herself.
But the marriage didn’t last. In September 2026, the couple announced their split in matching Instagram Stories, describing it as a mutual decision made with respect, and asking fans for privacy. Isha has since pushed back on unverified rumors swirling around the split, urging people to trust only her official statements.
