Kusha Kapila opened up about her life after she and Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia announced their divorce. The Thank You For Coming actress revealed she shut herself from any opinions coming her way. However, her mother had to tackle a lot of public opinions. She said her mother had her own circles and there were bound to be conversations around her divorce in those spaces.
The social media content creator-turned-actress opened up about her life after her separation while talking about how the society is unkind to women during their difficult times. Speaking with Fever FM, Kusha said, “Unkinder to women, that society is anyway so I think that is something my mother had to go through. I completely shut myself to opinions or anything. I didn’t have the bandwidth for it. So I am sure my mother can speak very clearly about it.
“She had to speak to relatives and speak to society. She has her own life — she goes to the temple or to the park, she has her own social communities where she had to face opinions and that is how the world works. This is the reality, this is the truth of where we live in and the times we live in. As much progress is happening and we hope for it to happen, somethings pretty much remain the same,” she added.
Kusha explained that she has realised she has no control over internet’s reactions to topics and subjects. “The other aspect of it is that, you can’t pick and choose what is going to happen to you online, especially if you have opened up your world and life to a lot of people. You can alter how you share your life now, going forward, realising the consequences of sharing your private life with people but I don’t think you get to pick and choose. It is unkind, it is unfair, that is there, assumptions will be made, people will speak on behalf of you and then you are like, ‘What do I give explanation for? These are a range of topics.'” the actress explained.
“So at some point, you have to pull back. You should realise that people around you should know your truth. The people you truly care for, the people who will be standing with you during your good times, your celebrations, your wins and losses, and hopefully down the line, who will be around your death bed, those are the people you care about,” she concluded.
Earlier this year, Kusha said she was terrified the day she was going to announce her divorce. She said she had got a call from a media publication who threatened to make the news of her divorce public. This forced her to go public with her split. At the time, her father and her ex-husband Zorawar stood by her side to help ride the tide.
Kusha Kapila and Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia dated for a few years before they got married in 2017. The parted ways last year.
