Kusha Kapila denied social media posts linking her to comedian Samay Raina, calling them "fake and seeded" and accusing creators of using AI to alter her image. On July 12, she shared screenshots on Instagram Stories, alleging one photo had been digitally manipulated to put her face on another woman's body.
The viral posts claimed Kapila had met Raina and asked to appear on his show India's Got Latent, and that she had spent time with him despite previously calling his jokes about her "insensitive." One post labeled her "a woman who can change for money and fame."
Kapila wrote: "Fake and seeded. My face is AI altered. Why would anyone spend any money doing this is beyond me? The way incel internet will stoop down to minimise me is laughable at this point."
In another Story, she said she would address each claim individually. "Let's fact check this one by one because I don't have the time and patience to make a plan to dismantle this. We will do this calmly and with reason. This is not an e-lafda but just how incel internet will go to the pits to minimise women."
She acknowledged blocking Raina after he made jokes about her during The Pretty Good Roast Show in 2024. Those jokes included comments about her divorce from Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia, which she described as "dehumanising." She also blocked host Ashish Solanki.
Kapila clarified that she and Raina are not friends now. She said she has never appeared on India's Got Latent and does not "hang out" with him.
Rainal later acknowledged the fallout in a Reddit AMA, saying they were no longer close but he still cared about her. By early 2025, the two appeared to have eased tensions. Raina gave Kapila a friendly mention on his show, and they were reportedly seen together at social events.
Kapila's latest statement rejects those reconciliations as a basis for the viral claim. She said the posts are fabricated and part of a pattern of online harassment aimed at women who speak out.
