According to confirmed reports from NDTV, Badshah is married. The Indian rapper spent the last week dodging intense public outrage over his explicit Haryanvi track “Tateeree,” which forced a massive public apology. Now he is making headlines for a completely different reason.
On March 24, 2026, photos and videos flooded social media showing Badshah tying the knot with Punjabi actress Isha Rikhi. The footage came straight from Isha’s mother. Poonam Rikhi posted clips of the pheras and the varmala exchange to her Instagram account. Badshah wore an olive-green and brown kurta with a golden turban. Isha wore a traditional red bridal salwar kameez covered in heavy gold embroidery and a chooda.
Hindustan Times and Deccan Herald picked up the story immediately. The rapper’s official team remains completely silent. There is no press release. There is no confirmed statement. We are watching a viral leak unfold in real time.
This is Badshah’s second trip down the aisle. He married Jasmine Masih in 2012. That relationship ended in a 2020 divorce. During a 2024 appearance on the Prakhar ke Pravachan podcast, the rapper admitted they tried everything to save the marriage. They split because the dynamic turned toxic for their daughter. Jessemy Grace Masih Singh was born in January 2017. The nine-year-old currently lives in London with her mother.
Rumors about Badshah and Isha started circulating in 2021. They met through mutual friends at a party. They kept things incredibly quiet for four years. Isha has her own footprint in the entertainment industry. She debuted in the 2013 Punjabi film Jatt Boys Putt Jattan De. She crossed into Bollywood in the 2018 movie Nawabzaade.
The internet is dissecting the wedding clips. Badshah moves from a lyric scandal straight into a new marriage.
