Samay Raina and Kusha Kapila made headlines after the comedian’s aggressive roast of the actor on Ashish Solanki’s show caused a stir. The comedian now acknowledged Kusha in the members-only edition of his show India’s Got Latent, months after the contentious roast.

Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani, and The Rebel Kid, also known as Apoorva Makhija, were on a panel in the most recent episode.

While announcing Apoorva’s introduction, Samay mockingly said, “Prajakta Koli from Meesho.” Apoorva retaliated, “Prajakta Koli will never abuse you to your face.” Samay then said, “Yes, but Kusha Kapila would,” while adding, “Love you, Kusha yaar,” as a footnote.

In an episode of the comedy series Pretty Good Roast Show Season 1, Kusha participated in a roasting session alongside other comedians. However, the evening took an ugly turn when Samay cracked jokes targeting Kusha’s marriage and divorce from Zorawar.

The comedian termed Kusha a “gold-digger” and added, “Kusha has a female dog, who stays with her half the time, and during the other half, remains happy. Just give the dog to Zorawar. Let him have at least one b**ch in his life,” he stated in Hindi.

Thereafter, Kusha replied on social media, “Jokes weren’t shared beforehand (as is 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 with it being played for millions of people, since some jokes straight-up dehumanized me. It was shockingly unkind.” Post that, she blocked Samay online.
