Badshah breaks silence over divorce and marriage issues, says '...but I loved her with all my heart'

PTC Web Desk: Popular singer-rapper Badshah, who divorced Jasmine Masih in 2020 after an eight-year marriage, has finally broken silence over challenges that led to their separation and his views on modern marriage. The couple, who share a daughter named Jessamy Grace Masih Singh, found themselves at a crossroads that ultimately led to their decision to part ways.

Badshah, known for hit songs like 'Kar Gayi Chull', 'Saturday Saturday', and 'Genda Phool', discussed the complexities of his marriage to Jasmine Masih, which began after they met online and later connected at a friend's party in Chandigarh.


"I loved her with all my heart. We met on Facebook and dated for about 1.5 years before getting married," he said while recounting how even his parents had concerns about the cross-cultural aspects of their union, given that Jasmine was raised in London.

Despite their efforts, the cultural differences proved challenging. "She could not adjust to the culture, and it got really messy," Badshah admitted. He said both he and Jasmine made every attempt to make their marriage work, but ultimately, it was not meant to be.

The couple’s decision to divorce was driven by their desire to provide a healthier environment for their daughter. "We separated because it was not healthy for our child," Badshah said. He expressed that although he doesn't see Jessamy as often as he would like since she resides in London, he remains committed to her well-being.

Badshah says his daughter, who practices Christianity like her mother, enjoys his music, particularly the song 'Paani Paani', but is a bigger fan of South Korean group Blackpink. 

Badshah also shared his evolving views on marriage and its relevance in today’s society. He expressed skepticism about the institution, stating, "Marriage is a flawed concept in today's day and age. Some modifications need to be done." According to Badshah, there is significant pressure associated with marriage, and individuals should enter it with a mature perspective and thorough consideration.

He suggested that the ideal age for marriage is around 40. "You should get married once you are extremely sure, or else the marriage suffers and the institution of marriage is maligned," he said.
