Kusha Kapila has strongly responded to fresh rumours linking her to comedian Samay Raina. The actor and content creator used Instagram Stories to deny viral claims that suggested she had asked Samay for an invitation to appear on his show, India’s Got Latent. She also called out several meme pages for spreading misleading content and asked them to stop creating false stories about her.
The latest rumours gained attention after an AI edited video began circulating online. The altered clip falsely suggested that Kusha had wanted to be a part of India’s Got Latent, a show that streams on YouTube and Netflix. Reacting to the rumours, Kusha questioned why meme pages continued to spread such content. In her Instagram post, she urged them to stop pushing false narratives and making people believe stories that were not true.
Kusha also hinted that she may eventually have to reveal the jokes made about her during the controversial roast event in 2024 if people continued to question her reaction. However, she added that doing so could create fresh legal problems, which is why she has chosen not to reveal those details publicly. She also joked that after everything that happened, she no longer feels like attending any parties.
The actor then shared what she described as the real facts behind the controversy. According to Kusha, she agreed to take part in the roast without being shown a script in advance. She said she did not sign any contract and was never informed about the jokes that would be made about her before the event. Because of this, she was completely unprepared for the comments directed at her during the show.
Kusha made it clear that she still believes many of the jokes made at her expense crossed the line. She said they were offensive and should have been removed before the show was released. While she understands that roast comedy often includes strong humour, she believes there should still be limits when jokes become deeply personal or hurtful.
Opening up about the emotional impact of the incident, Kusha revealed that the experience affected her deeply. She said it took a long time and professional therapy to overcome the embarrassment and emotional pain she felt after the roast. She also shared that she blocked both Samay Raina and comedian Ashish Solanki after the event because she needed to distance herself from the situation.
Kusha also denied rumours that she celebrated Samay Raina’s recent controversy related to India’s Got Latent. She said several media outlets had approached her for comments, but she chose not to speak against him publicly. Finally, she confirmed that she and Samay are no longer friends and stated clearly that she has no plans to appear on India’s Got Latent in the future.
