Punjabi actress Isha Rikhi, recently separated from rapper Badshah after five months of marriage, has joined Bigg Boss 20. Ahead of the show's premiere, a promo featuring a blurred female contestant sparked speculation that it was Isha, which she neither confirmed nor denied. On the show, Isha spoke emotionally about heartbreak and trust issues without naming Badshah. Host Salman Khan encouraged her to move on, emphasizing privacy and resilience. Both Isha and Badshah requested respect for their privacy following their mutual separation announcement.
