Isha Rikhi’s ‘Red Flag’ Remark Puts Badshah Split Back in Spotlight

Mumbai Desk : Isha Rikhi’s candid remarks on Bigg Boss 20 have brought her much-discussed separation from rapper Badshah back into the spotlight. Her seemingly casual comment about having “seen a very good red flag” in her life, followed by questions about cheating and “playboy types,” has sparked speculation among viewers about whether she was indirectly referring to her former husband.

The conversation began when Gullu was described as a red flag by the women in the house. Responding to the remark, he said, “Have you seen such a good red flag?” Isha was quick to respond, “Red flag bahut accha dekha hai maine aapni life mein (I have seen a very good red flag in my life).”

Isha subsequently tried to clarify that she was not talking about her personal life. However, her fellow housemates teased her about the remark, and she was seen blushing.

The discussion soon turned towards infidelity and moving on. Isha asked the boys in the house, “Jo log cheat karte hain, unke liye toh move on ki koi game hi nahi hoti naa? You think people who cheat feel guilty? Especially the playboy types?”

Gullu replied, “Depends on who they have cheated. If that person was important, then no matter how that man shows that he isn’t bothered, he definitely sits at night and thinks this I did wrong and somehow just thing gets sorted.”

The clip quickly drew reactions online, with several viewers assuming that Isha’s comments were aimed at Badshah. One user asked, “Did she call Badshah a playboy?” Another commented, “Seems like she’s waiting for his call someday.” A fan also questioned, “Did Badshah really cheat her?”

Isha had earlier described how the relationship affected her

At the Bigg Boss 20 premiere, Isha had spoken about her separation from Badshah and described how deeply she had invested in the relationship.

She said, “I fell in love. I thought, ‘This is it. This is what I’ve been looking for.’ He wasn’t just a green flag; he was a whole green forest. I wanted to get married and settle down, so I tried really hard. But some experiences change you. When your trust is broken, you reach a stage where you start questioning yourself and wondering, ‘Where did I go wrong?’ Whatever I went through, it broke me. I don’t want to talk about it. I didn’t even realise when I became a side character in my own story.”

Badshah and Isha had kept their relationship away from the public eye before their marriage became known in 2026. Wedding pictures surfaced online in March after Isha’s mother shared glimpses of the private ceremony. Isha later confirmed their marriage during an Instagram AMA, where she referred to Badshah as her “pati dev”.

The marriage, however, was short-lived. The couple later announced their separation in a joint social media statement and asked people to respect their privacy as they moved forward separately.

Badshah wrote, “Isha Rikhi and I have mutually decided to part ways and move forward on our separate paths. This decision has been made with mutual respect, and we request everyone to kindly respect our privacy during this time.”

Isha’s latest Bigg Boss 20 remarks have now reignited curiosity about the circumstances surrounding the former couple’s separation. While viewers have drawn their own conclusions from her comments, Isha did not explicitly name Badshah during the conversation, leaving the speculation unconfirmed.
