The social media world is buzzing after comedian Samay Raina revealed that he has been blocked by popular influencer Kusha Kapila on Instagram. This unexpected development stems from a controversial roast session where Raina made jokes about Kapila’s recent divorce from Zorawar Ahluwalia.
Raina’s jokes, which included calling Kapila a ‘gold-digger’ and making insensitive comments about her dog, went beyond the boundaries of humor for Kapila. She expressed her disappointment, calling Raina’s comments ‘dehumanizing’ and stating that she was not okay with them being broadcasted to millions of people.
The incident unfolded during the first episode of ‘Pretty Good Roast Show’ season 1, hosted by Ashish Solanki. While several comedians, including Kapila herself, participated in the roast, it was Raina’s jokes about her divorce that sparked the controversy. Kapila felt that the jokes were insensitive and went too far, especially considering their friendship.
She shared her feelings on Instagram, explaining that she had not anticipated the harsh nature of the jokes and wished she had asked for a script beforehand. She also expressed concern that the content had been aired without her consent, leading to widespread criticism and potentially damaging her image.
Following the incident, several users on Reddit took to the platform to express their opinions, some blaming the show’s organizer, Ashish Solanki, for not setting clear boundaries during the roast. Others pointed out that the incident highlighted a wider issue within the comedy scene, emphasizing the need for greater sensitivity and respect when it comes to personal matters.
This incident serves as a reminder of the impact that words can have, particularly in the digital age. It also raises questions about the boundaries of humor and the responsibility of comedians to ensure that their jokes do not cross into harmful territory. As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this controversy will shape the future of the ‘Pretty Good Roast Show’ and the way comedians approach sensitive topics in their acts.
