Kusha Kapila, who was married to Zorawar Ahluwalia, announced separation last year. Now, Kusha’s mother Rita Kapila has reacted to her daughter’s divorce how it affected her social life.
“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’ (Why are you scared? No one will ask you anything)’. 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 said while talking to a YouTuber channel Be A Parent Yaar for We Are Yuvaa.

“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?’ (Someone even mocked that aunty for creating gossip at the temple) She even apologised to me after that," Rita shared.
Also, the _Thank You For Coming_ actress revealed that her mother faced a lot more than her because she leads a normal life. “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," Kusha told Fever FM.
She continued, “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. 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.”
