Instead, she wants to use the experience to focus on herself, understand her own journey and work through a period of personal healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a conversation following her entry into the show, Isha also joked that if a male contestant attempted to create a love angle with her, she would simply tie a rakhi to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Isha Rikhi Has Closed the Door on a Bigg Boss Romance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reality shows such as&nbsp;<em>Bigg Boss<\/em>&nbsp;often become a setting for unexpected friendships and romantic connections. Isha, however, appears determined not to let her journey be defined by a relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf something like this happens, then I will tie rakhi to the boy. I am not at all interested in the love angle. Those doors are closed for me now,\u201d Isha said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She explained that her immediate priority is personal growth rather than finding a partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to work on myself first. I want to work on my healing. I want to heal everything first,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Isha stressed that her experiences have not made her lose faith in love itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018I Do Believe in Love\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite ruling out a romantic equation inside the house, Isha said she continues to believe in love and meaningful relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She spoke about the importance of friendships, family bonds and romantic relationships, describing love as something pure that not everyone necessarily understands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Isha, difficult experiences can sometimes make people bitter, but she does not want to allow those experiences to change her fundamental belief in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her comments suggest that her decision to avoid romance on&nbsp;<em>Bigg Boss 20<\/em>&nbsp;is less about rejecting relationships altogether and more about giving herself time and emotional space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/hunterfly.in\/style\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Isha-Rikhi-01-1024x585.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3585\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Isha Rikhi and Badshah Confirmed Their Separation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isha&#8217;s comments come shortly after she and Badshah confirmed that they had decided to part ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On August 31, Isha shared a statement announcing that the two had mutually chosen to move forward separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement emphasised mutual respect and requested privacy, while also asking people not to engage in further speculation about their relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement followed weeks of public interest surrounding reports of trouble in their personal lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Isha Had Earlier Spoken About a Difficult Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the separation was formally confirmed, Isha had addressed her personal situation in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, she wrote about remaining silent because she felt afraid of the influence, power and resources she associated with her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She described her silence as a form of survival rather than acceptance and said she was choosing courage over fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isha also indicated that she was not ready to share every detail of what she had experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That context makes her decision to speak about healing particularly significant, although she has maintained a boundary around how much of her private life she is prepared to discuss publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Did Isha Rikhi Enter Bigg Boss 20?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isha has said that one of her primary reasons for joining&nbsp;<em>Bigg Boss 20<\/em>&nbsp;is to allow audiences to see more of her personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to&nbsp;<em>SCREEN<\/em>, she explained that she had traditionally been a very private person and believed viewers knew relatively little about her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to break that barrier. People know very little about me. I was a very private person. Now I want people to know me and the shades I have; hence, I chose Bigg Boss,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Isha, the reality show represents an opportunity to move beyond the limited public perception audiences may have formed through her acting career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZ6wGe7Cvti\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
