Recently, Kusha Kapila and her mom, Rita got candid about the former's divorce and the impact it had on their family. Rita confessed that she tried to avoid people so no one would question her.
Kusha Kapila thought she would be starting her forever journey when she tied the knot with Zorawar Ahluwalia in 2017. Sadly, though, the popular content creator's dreams were shattered when their marriage came to an end a mere six years later, in June 2023. Ever since then, Kusha has fielded harsh criticism and unfounded rumours surrounding her split from her ex-husband. Despite neither party publicly addressing the reasons behind their divorce, Kusha was tagged a 'gold-digger' and 'cheater' by keyboard warriors. Recently, Kush and her mother, Rita Kapila opened up about the impact the former's divorce had on their family.
Kusha Kapila recently appeared on We Are Yuvaa's Youtube channel for their popular show, Be A Parent Yaar. The show is known for pairing celebrities or influencers with one of their parents for fun-filled episodes that often include heart-to-heart conversations as well. So, Kusha had her mommy dearest, Rita Kapila alongside her as they talked about all things family.
The mom-daughter duo also addressed the difficult topic of Kusha's divorce and how it affected the whole family. Kusha was seen getting misty-eyed as she talked about how her challenges in the past two years had made her 'very strong.' Her mother, Rita immediately caught on to Kusha's emotional state and decided to move on to the next question. Rita shared her heartfelt thoughts with her daughter, saying:
"It was tough, but it's okay. Vohi baat hai, ‘Kuch toh log kahenge, unka kaam hai kehna.’ After a while, everyone forgot about it. Now, no one says anything, everyone appreciates the work. There are no negative rumours now, it's only about how much you are growing and doing good work."
Kusha Kapila further revealed that she was afraid of how her divorce would impact her mother's social life. Well, Rita Kapila confessed that in the early days following Kusha's divorce, she would go to the temple earlier to avoid being hounded by questions about what happened. However, it was Kusha's father who helped her mother snap out of these fears. In Rita's words:
"When this incident happened and when I used to visit the temple, I started going a bit earlier than usual, so that no one spots me or asks anything. Then, your father once said, 'Tu kyu darrti hai? Koi kuch nahi poochega terse.' However, one aunty asked something related to this at the temple one day. I was a little shaky during my way home and started crying."
Rita continued about how her husband and Kusha's doting father had helped her understand that everyone faces ups and downs in life. According to her, he had even called up their relatives and warned them not to bring up the matter. In Rita's words:
"Your dad sat and explained to me that it is not a big deal, it is life. 'Ups and downs will keep coming, you don't need to feel so much'. He called all my relatives and told them that no one should bother me about this. Then, no one asked me anything ever again. Unn aunty ko bhi kisi ne jaake boldiya, ‘Aap mandir mai yeh sab baatein karne jaate ho?’ She even apologised to me after that."
For the unversed, Kusha Kapila and Zorawar Ahluwalia had dated for a few years before tying the knot in 2017. They called it quits last year, in 2023, and the news became public in a rather controversial manner. The couple was forced to announce their split after a news publication threatened to leak the story unless they accepted or denied the truth in two days.
