He has also stepped down from his duties as the Aide-de-Camp (ADC) of President Droupadi Murmu. Notably, Rishabh has emerged from being just a civil servant to an internet sensation, thanks to his good looks. He was even dubbed the 'national crush' of India.
Rishabh's retirement allegedly came in his early thirties after 12 years of service, and his decision left everyone wondering what might have been the potential reason behind it. Citing "personal reasons" as the cause, Major Rishabh refrained from any further explanation. Amid that, here's an exploration of his current whereabouts.
Major Rishabh Singh Sambyal announced his retirement from the Indian Army through a heartfelt post on Instagram on August 21, 2026. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve the Honourable President of India, Droupadi Murmu, and to gain valuable life lessons. He shared that he had grown a lot as a person during his 12-year tenure, and meeting Madam President and his peers for one last time before calling it a day in his career seemed wonderful to him.
Following his premature retirement, Major Rishabh has been sharing glimpses of his current life. He might have bid adieu to his duties as an army person and as Droupadi Murmu's Aide-de-Camp, but his sense of responsibility remains intact. He took to Instagram to raise awareness of the ongoing tragedy in Nepal and urged everyone to lend a helping hand to survivors.
Thus, Rishabh continues to serve his role as a responsible individual who uses his social media reach for the greater good of society. Besides raising his voice for the right reasons, the former special forces official is also making time for fun and checking things off his bucket list.
Rishabh is making the most of his post-retirement phase by engaging in thrilling activities such as skydiving. He recently shared a video on Instagram enjoying his time in the sky and captioned the post as:
"Why just dream of flying when you can make it your reality?"
The post received immense love and positive responses from his well-wishers, with many, including NSG Commando Captain Raghvendra Singh Sengar, jovially stating that Red Bull should hire Rishabh Singh Sambyal because he "already has wings" - a witty reference to the brand's iconic tagline. Many others called Rishabh "Fearless and free" and "Jack of all trades." Another internet user commented, "From battlefield to free-fall, inspiring the next generation to dare."

According to reports, Major Rishabh Singh Sambyal's decision to retire early stemmed from personal and family reasons, which he reportedly shared during a Live session two weeks ago. In a clip, he was seen talking about how he keeps himself motivated. He shared that he often felt like "giving up"; however, what kept him going was telling himself he would retire "tomorrow" and not "today."
Besides Rishabh's reason for retirement, there's immense curiosity around his personal life, particularly his relationship status. Earlier social media posts claimed that Rishabh Singh Sambyal was married. However, during the same IG Live, Rishabh addressed the buzz and revealed that he is neither married nor does he have a girlfriend.
He further addressed the buzz that he might be leaving his organisation and the country, as he would be settling down abroad by marrying someone there. Rishabh dismissed such false speculation around him and said he doesn't have any plans to get married in the near future.
