Kusha Kapila

has been in the news lately for being on

Samay Raina

‘s

roast

where the influencer turned actress was roasted for her

divorce

with

Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia

. Kusha sat through the roast which included a lot of jokes about her marriage, divorce and even her sex life.
Amidst the roast, Kusha has dropped a

cryptic note

now on her Instagram stories, which read, “When someone’s trying to disempower you, it’s their garbage.

It’s not yours to store. Let it slide off you.” She shared the post with the song ‘Move’, by Curtis Mayfield.

Kusha was also asked why she sat through such a roast. Clarifying her stand, Kusha had said on her Youtube Community notes, “Friends, a recent roast I was a part of has led a lot of my female and queer followers to question why did I sit through something that could have been completely avoided and WITH GOOD REASON. Here’s my two cents: 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.”

She further revealed that she had not seen the script of the roast before it was actually shot. “Jokes weren’t shared beforehand (as it’s done in all roast formats in the West) so 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. 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 dehumanised me. It was shockingly unkind,” she said.
Kusha also added that since that episode, she is going through her contracts and agreements very carefully and negotiating every word. She called this incident a huge learning for herself and many others as well.
