Earlier Kusha Kapila reacted to the roast incident by sharing a note to her YouTube community read more
Actor and comedian Kusha Kapila has shared a cryptic note on her social media account after Samay Raina roasted her on her divorce from Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia and her sex life on the Pretty Good Roast Show. She wrote in her Instagram stories, “When someone’s trying to disempower you, it’s their garbage. It’s not yours to store. Let it slide off you”
Earlier the Thank You For Coming actress reacted to the incident by sharing a note to her YouTube community. “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 wrote.

“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 added.
