Samay Raina-Kusha Kapila Pretty Good Roast Show Controversy The fallout between Kusha and Samay dates back to December 2024, when Samay graced as a panelist on Pretty Good Roast Show, hosted by stand-up comedian Ashish Solanki.
What started as wordplay on Kusha’s name, “Kusha Ka Peela," escalated fast. Samay went on to call her a “gold digger" and made a joke about her pet dog that referenced Kusha Kapila’s divorce from Zorawar Ahluwalia The jokes drew massive backlash once the episode aired publicly. Kusha said she hadn’t seen a script beforehand and called joining the roast a “rookie mistake" since she had trusted the comedians involved as friends. She described the experience as “shockingly unkind" and “dehumanising" at the time.

She confirmed she and Samay “were friends," and that there was “no script shared, no contract signed, and no jokes shared beforehand" during the infamous roast. Everything, she said, was done in good faith, and she “had no idea what was coming." Kusha also stood by her stance that the jokes made at her expense were “horrible".
She wrote, “The jokes made at my expense were horrible, and I stand by my stance that they should have been censored. I blocked both Samay and Ashish.
