Actor and content creator Kusha Kapila has firmly denied widespread social media speculation suggesting she reconciled with stand-up comedian Samay Raina.

However, a factual verification reveals that the circulating photograph is fake and has been digitally altered using artificial intelligence (AI). ‘Woh Toh Aapke Bhi Views Hain’: Kusha Kapila Blasts Pranit More Over Himanshu Jangra’s INR 370 Biryani Video.

While Kapila acknowledged being present at a recent birthday party for singer Jasleen Royal where Raina was also a guest, she emphasised that their presence at the same venue did not signify a reconciliation.  "I was at Jasleen's birthday because she very kindly invited me, and Samay happened to be there as well. That doesn't mean anything," Kapila stated. "The video may make it look like we hang out, but we don't. We didn't even interact in that clip." She added that she will not participate in India’s Got Latent, stating clearly, "I am not friends with Samay. I will never be on Latent."

Here's the Fact Check

A close verification of the social media posts reveals that the viral image is entirely fabricated. The original photograph featured Samay Raina standing next to another individual, and AI tools were used to digitally superimpose Kapila's face onto the woman's body.  Kapila addressed the coordinated nature of these viral posts, pointing out that multiple meme accounts were using identical captions to target her, with some posts claiming she was "a woman who can change for money and fame."

Kusha Kapila's Clarification Regarding Rumours Linking Her to Samay Raina 

"Thank you @tanejmaihoon for always coming through against this hot pile of bakwas garbage that god knows who is funding. It's laughable."

The Infamous Roast of Kusha Kapila by Samay Raina

The friction between the two public figures dates back to 2024, during an episode of the Pretty Good Roast Show hosted by comedian Ashish Solanki. Raina, serving as a panellist, made highly personal jokes targeting Kapila’s personal life and her divorce from Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia.

The comments drew significant online backlash, and Kapila subsequently blocked both Raina and Solanki on social media, describing the jokes as "dehumanising."  In her recent statement, Kapila clarified that she participated in the show entirely in good faith and had no prior knowledge of the content. "There was no script shared, no contract signed, and no jokes shared beforehand. Everything was done in good faith. I had no idea what was coming my way," she shared. "The jokes made at my expense were horrible, and I stand by my stance that they should have been censored."  Kapila also revealed the long-term emotional impact of the broadcast, noting that it required professional intervention to process the public humiliation. "I blocked both Samay and Ashish. It has taken me a lot of time and therapy to undo the shame and ridicule I felt that day. I genuinely wish that roast had never happened to me."

Conclusion

Ultimately, Kapila requested that online platform managers, meme pages, and seeding agencies stop using her personal life and past trauma for digital engagement. She firmly denied ever celebrating Raina's temporary professional setbacks or legal troubles, noting that she routinely declined media requests to speak out against him.  Reiterating that she will not participate in any PR campaigns or online arguments, Kapila emphasised her desire to move forward outside of the internet's speculation. Samay Raina To Invite Kusha Kapila’s Ex-Husband Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia on ‘India’s Got Latent’ After Ugly Divorce Roast?

"I have worked as hard as anybody else to be where I am today. Incel meme pages, seeding companies need to stop disempowering me every chance they get. I will not let this be my entire life," she wrote. "You can't put a timeline to how long will I take to be okay with this… Allow me to take this hurt to my grave please. Stop it with your ridiculous seeding. Stop minimising women. Let's all move the fk on."
