Isha Rikhi is all set to join Bigg Boss 20 as a participant, and before entering the house, she finally opens up about her break-up with rapper Badshah. Earlier, both of them had announced about their break-up after their relationship was in rumors for quite some time. Rumors started making headlines in March when Isha’s mom, Poonam Rikhi, posted some photos of what seemed like an intimate marriage ceremony on Instagram.

In a chat with media, Isha said she decided not to talk about her relationship. She felt that something so personal should not turn into public talk. Her goal, she explained, was to look out for the person she loved and for what they shared. She also said it was not easy for her. There were days when she kept doubting herself.

Another topic that was mentioned by Isha related to the photographs taken at the marriage, which her mother posted on social media. According to her, she had been fighting with her mother on many occasions regarding the same issue since she had never intended to put up those photographs herself. Isha was afraid and confused since she felt that her mother and Badshah had been telling her different stories regarding what was going on.

Isha also addressed what followed once the wedding photos went up online. She said she and Badshah talked more than once, but the story he gave her did not match what she learned later. After that, she kept second-guessing her own judgment. She wondered how she missed the signs before. Later, she described that period as the hardest time of her life.
