"I want people to know who I am as Isha Rikhi and not by someone else's name. People know my existence but don't know who I am, what I am and how I am, and I want them to know every shade of Isha through this show."

A few days back, both Isha and Badshah confirmed their split. They are parting ways after five months of their marriage. For the uninitiated, the duo got married in March 2026 in an intimate ceremony. After a month-long speculation around their marriage falling apart, Isha took to her Instagram Stories to announce their separation. She wrote:

This decision has been made with mutual respect, and we request everyone to kindly respect our privacy during this time. This will be our only statement on the matter. We sincerely request that there be no further speculation or assumptions regarding our relationship."
