She later posted an emotional message about staying silent, feeling overwhelmed and choosing courage over fear. The post drew support from several industry friends. Actress Wamiqa Gabbi responded with a message saying, “Truth shall prevail.”
Badshah’s Second Marriage Ends
This was Badshah’s second marriage. He was previously married to Jasmine Masih, with whom he has a daughter. The couple separated and finalised their divorce in 2020.
