Isha Rikhi

Isha Rikhi is an Indian actress and model from Chandigarh who built most of her acting career in Punjabi cinema before expanding into Hindi films. She began professionally through modelling and moved into screen acting with Punjabi projects, developing a body of work that included films such as Jatt Boys Putt Jattan De, Happy Go Lucky and Ardaas.

Her career later crossed into Hindi cinema through Nawabzaade, while she continued to be identified primarily with Punjabi entertainment. In 2026, her personal life drew intense public attention because of her marriage to and subsequent separation from rapper Badshah. Isha publicly pushed back against being reduced to somebody else’s identity and said around her Bigg Boss entry that she wanted audiences to know her as herself.

That context is relevant to Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 because Isha entered the house immediately after a period in which personal headlines were overshadowing her acting work. During the premiere she spoke emotionally about moving forward, and her participation was framed as a chance to show more of her own personality. She also made it clear that she was not entering the programme in search of a manufactured romantic storyline.

Isha is a confirmed original Week 1 contestant. Her Bigg Boss profile should therefore separate verified career facts from speculation around personal relationships and should update nominations, tasks and status only as the season progresses.
