Isha Rikhi has finally spoken about the kind of betrayal that can completely change the way you look at a relationship. Inside the Bigg Boss 20 house, the actor got candid with Kanika Mann about a past relationship where she says she eventually realised she had been “played”.
Isha did not take Badshah’s name during the conversation. But considering her recent separation from the rapper, her comments have inevitably got people connecting the dots.
Isha Rikhi: ‘When It Ended, I Got To Know, Yahan Toh Kat Gaya’
While talking to Kanika about trust, Isha explained that she is not someone who immediately believes what other people say about the person she is with. She needs to see things for herself.
She said: “If someone else comes and tells me that Kanika is like this, I won’t believe them until I see it for myself. I am the same in a relationship as well. If someone comes and tells me something, then I say, give me proof or else don’t bother me. But when it ended, I got to know, yahan toh kat gaya.”
That one line pretty much summed up what she felt after the relationship ended that she had trusted someone completely, only to later realise that things were not as they seemed.
Isha then opened up about the situation becoming toxic for her, especially when she felt she was being treated as a “best friend” while there were clearly other people occupying the same space.
‘All Of Them’: Isha On Emotional And Physical Cheating
Kanika went a little deeper and asked Isha whether she had experienced physical or emotional cheating.
Isha’s answer was simple: “All of them.”
She then explained what made the situation so difficult for her. “Woh jo beech mein latakna hota hai na, uss situation mein mere liye phasna bahut toxic ho jaata hai. It was like I am saying you are my best friend and giving you all best friends feels. I am showing you off as my best friend, but later you get to know that I was never your best friend.”
She continued:“All of these things I am doing in private circle kyunki teri aur bhi bahut best friends hain.”
Isha was clearly talking about feeling like she had been given a special place in someone’s life, only to discover later that she wasn’t as special as she had believed.
And when Kanika asked whether there were more “best friends”, Isha didn’t hold back.
“Yes, but woh ek-do din chill karne waali thi. Lekin tujhe best friend banana hi nahi tha, tu bas game khel rahi thi mere saath.”
She went on to describe the relationship as something that was being maintained for convenience.“Just for convenience, because I am so soft and good that you want me in your life and you won’t get this from anyone else. You want to stay with me but also want your freedom.”
Isha also said she eventually realised that she had been shown a completely different picture of the relationship.“You will only chill with me with certain people and after that I get to know that you were showing me a different picture which never existed.”
What Happened Between Isha Rikhi And Badshah?
Isha and Badshah had always kept their relationship fairly private. The two reportedly dated for several years before their intimate wedding became public in 2026.
Isha later confirmed the marriage herself during an Instagram Ask Me Anything session, but even after that, the couple largely stayed away from discussing their personal life publicly.
That changed in September when the two announced that they had decided to separate.
In their joint statement, Isha and Badshah said they had “mutually decided to part ways and move forward on our separate paths.” They also asked people to respect their privacy and requested that there be no further speculation about their relationship.
Isha Hasn’t Named Badshah — But Fans Are Connecting The Dots
Isha did not mention Badshah by name while speaking to Kanika.
Her comments were about a past relationship and the betrayal she says she experienced. However, given that the conversation comes soon after her separation from Badshah, viewers have naturally started wondering whether she was referring to their relationship.
For someone who had largely kept her personal life away from the spotlight, Isha’s decision to speak so openly inside the Bigg Boss 20 house has certainly caught attention.
