‘Fake and Funded': Kusha Kapila Slams AI-Edited Photo, Samay Raina Patch-Up Rumours –

Actor and content creator Kusha Kapila has vehemently denied coordinated internet rumours that she has reconciled with comedian Samay Raina. Speculation started after a selfie of the two surfaced on social media, with trolls claiming they had buried the hatchet. Kusha took to her Instagram Stories and called out the image as totally fake, where her face had been cut and pasted onto the body of someone else with artificial intelligence. “I don’t know why anyone would spend money doing this,” she wrote, calling out toxic online spaces for attempting to erode her personal boundaries.

Public Roast: The Lasting Power of a Roast Session

Kusha clarified and said that she has no friendship with Samay and how much it affected her emotionally when they were in the public eye. The problem began when they showed up on a roast show and she was the target of cruel, unscripted jokes about her divorce that she found deeply dehumanising. Kusha said that she blocked both Samay and the host of the show right after the incident and that it took a lot of therapy to undo the deep shame and ridicule she felt. The two recently attended singer Jasleen Royal’s birthday party. Kusha clarified that they are not hanging out or interacting just because they are in the same room.

Along with the fake image, coordinated troll pages were spreading a narrative that Kusha was doing his best to get back into Samay’s good books to get a place in his massively successful show, India’s Got Latent Season 2, streaming on Netflix and YouTube. Kusha flatly rejected these claims, stating unequivocally, "I am not friends with Samay. I will never be on Latent." Frustrated by the relentless digital harassment, she asked the internet to stop inventing false PR campaigns at her expense. "Allow me to take this hurt to my grave, please," she wrote in a vulnerable closing note, pleading with social media users to finally respect her healing process and move on.
