Kusha Kapila opened up about facing body-shaming and taunts by relatives while growing up. Recently, the content creator-turned-actress opened up about her mother's way to deal with it.
Kusha Kapila is the 'sassy diva', who is famous for her witty videos on South Delhi girls and aunties. She knows the art of acting, and she has been blessed with gorgeous looks. The content creator-turned-actress first time opened up about being fat-shamed by her relatives and how her mother decided to avoid it with a solution. While the actress laughed remembering those times, netizens came in support of her.
Recently, in an interview with The Lallantop, Kusha revealed that she and her sister had issues with their weight. She added that when they hit puberty, they gained weight, and even her mother, in her mid-30s, gained weight, and they would collectively get fat-shamed. She recalled being called "Moti maa, moti betiya..." Kusha further added that her elder sister faced the taunts, and her mother became particular that she didn't go through the same. She added to handle the situation, her mother started weekly measuring her and her sister's weight. She was quoted as saying:
"Ek saath sab logo ne aa kar humko bolte the, fat-shamed krna hai. Moti beti hai toh, moti maa moti beti. My mother was very particular I should not face this, toh unka usko handle karne ka tareek alag tha jaise I don't think tab aisa vogue culture thuri tha fat-shaming nai kar skte. Toh mujhe yaad hai Sunday ke Sunday humara weight check karte the vo ki bada ya nai, because log bahut bolte the."

As soon as the video was uploaded, netizens flooded the comments section. One user wrote, "It's really sad and I can relate." Another commented, "It’s not just a Punjabi thing but a nationwide problem where somebody who is dark, short, tall or Fat or slim are shamed or made fun of. In reality, everyone wants to push others to be ideal specimens."
Kusha Kapila's sudden weight loss ever since moving to Mumbai left many shocked. While Kusha credited it to her healthy diet and workout, many think that she has used Ozempic. Once, Kusha gave a befitting reply to a fan, who tried to take at the actress' sudden weight loss. She wrote:
@sonalsacc acha so it's totally assumption. Cool. So without shame and full honesty, it's not ozempic. It's consistent workout and clean eating. Hope that answers your question.
