Comedian Samay Raina’s roast of actor Kusha Kapila, following her divorce from Zorawar Ahluwalia, has sparked significant controversy. Kusha described the jokes as “dehumanising,” highlighting the sensitivity surrounding the topic. The fallout appears to have affected their relationship, as Samay recently disclosed that Kusha has blocked him on Instagram, signaling ongoing tensions between them.
In a recent Instagram Story, Samay sought suggestions for panellists for his new show, “India’s Got Latent.” One follower proposed Kusha’s name, to which Samay humorously responded, “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.” This comment quickly circulated on Reddit, where users engaged in playful banter about the situation.

One commenter noted, “Samay always says something about Kusha which he should never say lollll,” while another speculated that the fallout was largely due to fellow comedian Ashish, suggesting that the public drama could have been avoided if Ashish had chosen his words more carefully.
About the Incident
During the roast, Kusha’s marriage and subsequent divorce became prime targets for Samay’s jokes. Kusha had participated in the “Pretty Good Roast Show S1,” where comedians took turns roasting each other. In his segment, Samay made pointed remarks about Kusha’s past with Zorawar, whom she married in 2017 before their separation in June 2023. Samay started his roast by calling Kusha a “gold-digger” and continued with jabs about her divorce, including references to the pet dog they shared.
The incident has raised questions about the boundaries of comedy, especially when personal matters are involved. Kusha’s reaction and decision to block Samay suggest that the jokes may have crossed a line for her, emphasizing the impact of public discourse on private lives. As this controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the two comedians can find common ground in the future.
