About Rishabh Tandon

Rishabh, best known for his tracks Yeh Ashiqui and Ishq Fakeerana, was living in Mumbai with his wife, actor-model Olesya Nedobegova Tandon. His final Instagram post, shared just 11 days ago, showed the couple celebrating Karwa Chauth together. The singer had also celebrated his 35th birthday earlier this month, on October 10.

Before his marriage, Rishabh often found himself in the spotlight due to speculations about his personal life — particularly his rumoured relationship with actor Sara Khan. Years ago, a picture of Sara wearing sindoor had gone viral online, though she later dismissed the rumours.

About Rishabh and Olesya

Rishabh eventually tied the knot with Olesya, who hails from Russia. In an earlier interview with The Times of India, the singer shared that Olesya had been the line producer for his digital series shot in Uzbekistan. He recalled that their first real encounter happened unexpectedly — though they didn’t speak much then, fate brought them together again on the day he was leaving the country.
