Who is Isha Rikhi?

Isha Rikhi is a model and actor who has worked predominantly in the Punjabi film industry. She made a guest appearance in the Punjabi film Jatt and Juliet, which was a huge box-office success. She then made her screen debut in 2013 with the Punjabi film Jatt Boys Putt Jattan De, with Sippy Gill.

In an interview with Punjab 2000, she had shared that she was not interested in acting before entering the industry. “I was never interested in acting before, my dad has always been quite supportive and he always wanted to see me as a model. I was given a chance for acting and I am now very fascinated by this field,” she said.

Some of her other films include Happy Go Lucky, What the Jatt!! and Desi Munde. Isha made her Bollywood debut with the film Nawabzaade, alongside Raghav Juyal and Punit Pathak. Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor and Badshah had special appearances in that film.

In the last few years, Isha has established herself in the industry by starring in some of the biggest Punjabi films, such as Happy Go Lucky and Ardaas and has featured in Punjabi music videos.

They got married in 2012 and were together for several years before separating in 2022. The two have a daughter named Jessemy Grace Masih Singh, born in January 2017. In an interview with HT from 2018, Badshah had said that before the birth of his baby girl, he didn't really like kids.
