Samay Raina: "Kusha Kapila Has Blocked Me..."

Comedian Samay Raina's roast of fashion influencer Kusha Kapila's divorce from Zorawar Ahluwalia sparked controversy, with Kusha labeling the jokes "dehumanizing". Now, Samay has made a shocking confession about Kusha Kapila blocking him on social media.

Samay: "I Am Blocked..."

Samay Raina asked his Instagram followers for panelist recommendations for his new show, India's Got Latent. There was one fan who suggested Kusha's name. Samay took note of it, and shared, "Hahahaha to be honest, that would be an epic episode for sure. Can't tag her because I'm blocked but hopefully someday in the future."

"He Deserved It..."

Reddit users seem to be in support of Kusha Kapila. A user wrote, "Samay always says something about Kusha which he should never say lollll" Another commented, "He deserved it. His part had to be censored on a show that Ashish boasted never uses censorship. So one can imagine the waahyaad things he must've said about/to Kusha that day."

Kusha Kapila's Statement:

Earlier, addressing the issue, Kusha penned a long note and said, "It was done in good faith and for a friend. Nobody has been paid (neither comics nor guests) for it so the argument that people are being paid big fat cheques to hear their insults is baseless. I had no idea what was in store for me. Maybe I should have asked for a script and known better but since friends were involved I didn't. Rookie mistake."

"Really Raspy Jokes..."

She added, "While I endured some of the really raspy jokes in front of a live audience and technicians, I absolutely was not okay for it to play for millions of people since some jokes straight up dehumanized me. It was shockingly unkind..."

For unversed, Kusha participated in Aashish Solanki's Pretty Good Roast Show on YouTube, in which stand-up comedians like Samay Raina cracked extremely below-the-belt jokes about her.
