Indian rapper and singer Badshah and Punjabi actress Isha Rikhi have reportedly ended their marriage after just five months. The couple confirmed their separation on Monday night through statements shared on their Instagram Stories, according to media reports. Badshah and Rikhi married in a private ceremony in March.
In his statement, Badshah said they mutually decided to end their relationship. He stressed that the decision came with respect for each other.
The rapper also asked fans and media outlets to respect their privacy. He said the statement would be his only comment on the separation.
Badshah further urged people to avoid speculation about their personal lives. The couple had largely kept their marriage away from public attention.
Social Media Post Sparked Separation Rumours
Speculation about trouble in the relationship had already surfaced in July. Around that time, Rikhi shared a video featuring pictures and moments with Badshah.
Her caption read, “Every storm is a lesson, every prayer is a hope.” She also added broken-heart and folded-hands emojis to the post.
The message quickly attracted attention from social media users. Many followers interpreted it as a possible sign that the couple was facing difficulties.
However, neither Badshah nor Rikhi publicly addressed the rumours at the time. Their joint statement has now brought clarity to the speculation surrounding their relationship.
The reported separation comes only months after their private wedding. The couple had maintained a relatively low profile throughout their marriage.
Badshah was previously married to Jasmine Masih. Their divorce was finalized in 2020. The former couple share a daughter, born in January 2017.
