Kusha Kapila is a well-known name in the entertainment fraternity. She started her journey as an entertainment writer but gradually moved her way up as a social media influencer and now is an actress. She has been a part of movies like Thank You For Coming, Sukhee, and more. She will next be seen in the film, Life Hill Gayi. A few months back, the diva was a part of a roast show, Pretty Good Roast Show With Ashish Solanki, where several comedians made derogatory jokes about her, and now Kusha has finally spoken in detail about it.
Kusha Kapila recently took to her YouTube community space and shared that the roast was an unpaid collaboration done in good faith for entertainment purposes. The jokes weren't shared beforehand, and everything was a surprise to her. However, she wasn't expecting the kind of mean comments and nasty digs that came her way. In her words:

"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."

Kusha also emphasised how some normalised the below-the-belt roast on her, but some people were very empathetic towards her. She is glad that a few people liked the roast, which is why she did not leave the roast midway, even though she was very disheartened. Kusha further added:
"I am glad y'all enjoy the roast. That's why even I was seated there - to enjoy it and have the best time and I did to the best of my capacity until it went too far. We all have our boundaries and all of those boundaries are valid and should be respected. I may have sat for the roast but I don't stand for everything that has come out of it. I take pride in the fact that I didn't stage a walkout and after what was thrown at me, I found the gumption to still perform."
Samay Raina took a dig at Kusha Kapila's personal life and divorce. He said that the former lives in a broken home. He also took a dig at Kusha's divorce and even called her a gold digger. Samay asked Kusha to send Maya (her pet dog) to Zorawar so that the furry pet could live together blissfully. He also made some nasty comments about Kusha's sex life, which the show censored as they were very derogatory.

Although Kusha was seemingly pretending to enjoy the roast session in the video, the actress now opened up about the episode and strongly reacted against it. Recently, she hosted an AMA session on her Instagram handle and was asked by a social media user how she handled the brutal roast of Samay. To which Kusha said:
"Not my first time on the rodeo. In the large scheme of things, nothing matters. Probably when I have processed all of it, will speak about it on a level-headed podcast (lol do we have any) or maybe never. We will see. This profile continues to be a safe space for my female and queer followers."
