Badshah And Isha Rikhi Confirm Divorce
In their joint statement, Badshah and Isha Rikhi requested people respect their privacy, stating that the decision was mutual. "I and Isha Rikhi have mutually decided to part ways and move forward on our separate paths. This decision has been made with mutual respect, and we request everyone to kindly respect our privacy during this time (sic)."
Additionally, the duo clarified they do not want the issue to become the focus of any more rumours. "This will be our only statement on the matter. We sincerely request that there be no further speculation or assumptions regarding our relationship."
The couple kept their relationship under wraps and their wedding was no exception. The latter's mother, Poonam Rikhi, shared photos from Badshah and Isha's intimate ceremony on Instagram in March 2026, which led to the official confirmation of their marriage.
According to reports, the pair had been dating for about four years before deciding to tie the knot.
In June 2026, Isha Rikhi herself confirmed the marriage during an Instagram Ask Me Anything session. The two avoided the spotlight and decided to avoid publicly discussing their private life together.

However, rumours were circulating about trouble in paradise in July. Isha Rikhi posted a carousel of photos and videos of herself and Badshah on July 26. The caption read, "Every storm is a lesson. Every prayer is hope," along with the emojis of folded hands and grief.
Hinting at struggle in the relationship, she further added, "There are battles that leave no visible scars. For a long time, I remained silent because I was afraid. I felt overwhelmed by the influence, power, and resources I believed my husband had, and I convinced myself that staying quiet was the safest thing to do. Silence was never acceptance. It was survival."
Isha concluded her note, saying, "Today, I'm choosing courage over fear. I may not be ready to tell the whole story, but I'm finally ready to stop pretending that everything was okay."
