In the midst of the continuing controversy surrounding his contentious Haryanvi song Tateeree, rapper-singer Badshah seems to have embarked on a new phase in his personal life. Reports suggest that the rapper-singer has tied the knot with Punjabi actress Isha Rikhi, approximately six years following his divorce from his first wife.
Has Badshah tied the knot once more?
On Tuesday, Poonam Rikhi, the mother of Isha Rikhi, stirred up speculation about Badshah's personal life by posting a series of images on Instagram that appear to suggest the couple's marriage. The pictures show Badshah and Isha engaging in customary wedding ceremonies with their family members present.
The videos depict the couple in traditional wedding outfits exchanging garlands in front of their close family and friends, offering a personal view of the ceremony. Poonam shared the pictures with a caption saying, 'God bless you @isharikhi @badboyshah.'
In the pictures, Badshah is dressed in an olive-green kurta, complemented by a beige stole and a decorative golden turban, smiling warmly next to Isha. Meanwhile, Isha appears radiant in a bright red bridal ensemble embellished with detailed gold embroidery. She is also adorned with traditional jewelry, including a maang tikka, and has mehendi visible on her hands.
A different video shows Badshah and Isha taking the pheras. In a particular photo, Isha is depicted with sindoor on her forehead, indicating that some of the scenes might be from the post-wedding festivities instead of the actual ceremony.
Immediately after she posted on her account, the comments were inundated with congratulatory messages from fans and supporters. One person commented, “Very happy for you Isha…God bless you,” while another said, “Heartiest congratulations.” A social media user added, “Congratulationsssss aunty.” Another comment stated, “congratulations happiest married life.”
Details about the reported wedding are scarce, including the exact date the couple got married, particularly since Badshah was spotted performing in London with Nora Fatehi as recently as March 22.
