Isha Rikhi apologises to fans after her Bigg Boss 20 eviction

Actor and model Isha Rikhi has broken her silence after leaving Bigg Boss 20. Rikhi, the ex-wife of Punjabi rapper and singer Badshah, was evicted in the most recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode after about three weeks in the house. On Wednesday she reportedly shared her first Instagram post since her exit.

In the note, she called her time inside three weeks packed with emotions, challenges, laughter and tears. She thanked everyone who backed her, and even those who did not, saying she valued every opinion and message. She also admitted the stretch had been hard, with "emotional breakdowns" and moments when she struggled to express herself.

Rikhi went on to apologise to any fans who felt she had let them down. She said she is still processing the experience and treating it as a learning. She added that she felt the love of her supporters even when she could not show much of it herself.

Reports say that during her stay she spoke mostly about her personal life and made indirect references to her split from Badshah. Without naming him, she talked about infidelity in a relationship and about becoming a side character in her own story. She became friends with Kanika Mann and Gullu, also known as Kushal Tanwar. Her exit reportedly came after Kanika chose not to save her, which pushed her into an eviction face-off with Yung DSA that she lost.

The couple confirmed their marriage in June 2026 after months of speculation. They announced their separation in August, roughly five months after the reported wedding. Badshah reportedly posted a reel thanking fans shortly after her eviction.

Born in Chandigarh, Rikhi started out in modelling and made her acting debut in the 2013 Punjabi film Jatt Boys Putt Jattan De. Her Punjabi credits include Ardaas, Happy Go Lucky and Do Dooni Panj, and she made her Bollywood debut with Nawabzaade in 2018.
