On Monday, actress and social media influencer Kusha Kapila announced the breakup of her marriage to Zorawar Ahluwalia on her Instagram account. She has been trending on Twitter ever since the world learned of her separation. Many users responded to the news and sent negative remarks, however many others also defended her choice.
Kusha penned down in her latest post, “Zorawar and I have mutually decided to part ways. This hasn’t been an easy decision by any measure but we know it’s the right one at this point in our lives. The love and life we have shared together continues to mean everything for us but sadly, what we seek currently for ourselves doesn’t align. We gave it our all, until we couldn’t anymore.” She also claimed that she and Zorawar will keep raising their pet dog Maya together.
In response to the tweet, other folks on Twitter started discussing the divorce negatively. Many referred to an earlier video of Kusha and Karan Johar speaking in an interview, in which Kusha concurred with Karan when he remarked that sexual infidelity is not the same as infidelity. In response to the criticism, a user stated that they were only making light-hearted jokes during the interview. “Some people resorting to old articles and interviews, twisting them to fabricate conspiracy theories in order to judge & insult someone for their personal life choices is bewildering. ” a tweet read. “My opinion on the #KushaKapila divorce is that I have no business having an opinion on her personal life.” added another.
After the news emerged, several people posted images of Kusha and Zorawar on Twitter and left suggestive remarks about them. “Kusha Kapila is a popular fashion editor, comedian, actress, and YouTuber who recently announced her separation from her husband Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia. It’s not a laughing matter, and we should respect their privacy during this difficult time. #KushaKapila” Another averred, “I knew kusha is famous as influencer but the amount of attention her divorce is getting af is so unrealistic bc, people cant even find jobs these days, but they just need to know why zorawar is a dumb a**. How modern women are corrupt. How zorawar is not famous.#KushaKapila”
Many urged users to behave responsibly on social media and refrain from making comments on other people’s relationships. A tweet stated, “Could people just stfu about Kusha Kapila’s recent post! What do you or I know about the realities of their relationship!? How is Kusha wrong if she more famous than Zor? How is it her fault? It is a mutual decision! You’ll don’t have to be advocates here! #KushaKapila”
A user also brought attention to a tweet sent out when Ashish Vidyarthi wed for a second time, saying, “Some people are disgusting on this platform. When this 60 year old uncle got remarried after leaving wife of several years no judgemental aunties or boomers commented anything. You people just reveal your inherent hate against women by doing this.”
