Samay Raina invites Zorawar to Join India’s Got Latent as Guest
Comedian Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent continues to make waves, becoming one of the most talked-about shows in India. The latest buzz is around Zorawar Ahluwalia, ex-husband of digital creator Kusha Kapila, who is set to appear as a guest in upcoming episodes. This announcement comes in the wake of controversy surrounding Samay’s Pretty Good Roast Show Season 1, where he took aim at Kusha Kapila’s personal life during a divorce roast.
Samay Raina’s Controversial Roast of Kusha Kapila
In Pretty Good Roast Show Season 1, Samay Raina made several comments about Kusha Kapila’s divorce, sex life, and even called her a “gold digger.” These remarks sparked widespread debate online, with many questioning the ethics and boundaries of comedy. Following the roast, Kusha Kapila blocked Samay on Instagram, indicating her disapproval of the jokes made at her expense.
Kusha Kapila’s Response to the Roast
In a detailed statement shared on her YouTube community page, Kusha addressed the controversy. She explained that her delayed reaction stemmed from being “frozen” during the roast. She clarified, “Friends, a recent roast I was a part of has led a lot of my female and queer followers to question why I sat through something that could have been avoided—and with good reason.”
Kusha emphasized that neither the comics nor the guests were paid for their participation, countering claims that such roasts are motivated by financial gain. She added, “This was done in good faith and for a friend. The argument that people are being ‘paid big fat cheques to hear their insults’ is baseless.”
A Learning Experience for Kusha Kapila
Reflecting on the fallout, Kusha noted the challenges she faced as a divorced woman in the public eye. “Over the course of the last six months during negotiations, I have been told that I deserve these jokes and that as a divorced woman, I should have seen this coming,” she said.
She acknowledged the societal tendency to villainize women when they speak out and advised fellow women artists to set strict boundaries when collaborating. “This has been a huge learning for me. Silence on such topics may be seen as cowardice, but it’s often a choice for peace over endless discourse.”

Adding to the intrigue, Zorawar Ahluwalia will now appear as a guest on Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent. His participation has sparked speculation about how the show will address the history between Raina and Kusha Kapila.
