Badshah and Isha Rikhi announce they have mutually decided to part ways, and soon after, Isha Rikhi’s Instagram posts described as expressing “fear” and the idea that “silence was never acceptance, it was survival” disappear from her profile.

Times of India and NDTV report that the posts were removed after the separation announcement and that the couple also unfollows each other on Instagram. Both outlets state that Badshah and Isha Rikhi ask for privacy and request that people avoid speculation. The difference in coverage is mainly timing and emphasis: Times of India adds that unfollowing and post-removal happen alongside the separation confirmation, while NDTV focuses specifically on the disappearance of the “fear/silence” post(s) following the announcement written by Badshah.

Across outlets, the common thread is that the separation is described as mutual, the couple seeks space from public discussion, and Isha Rikhi’s earlier cryptic posts are no longer visible.
