Actor and influencer Kusha Kapila has addressed rumours of a reunion with comedian Samay Raina after a selfie of the two went viral online. Responding to the ongoing speculation, Kusha clarified that the image is “AI-altered”. She said the photo circulating on social media had been altered using artificial intelligence and dismissed claims that she had patched up with Samay.
The rumours surfaced nearly two years after Kusha and Samay’s public fallout in 2024. As the edited selfie went viral, Kusha took to Instagram Stories to clarify that the image was AI-generated and false.
Kusha Kapila says selfie with Samay Raina AI-altered
On Sunday, Kusha took to her Instagram to share the viral post featuring the selfie and labelled it “Fake and seeded”. She also clarified that the image had been manipulated using AI. While referring to the viral selfie, which was clicked by Samay Raina, Kusha wrote, “My face is AI altered.”
In the picture, Samay Raina is seen standing beside a woman in a red top whose face had been edited to resemble Maamla Legal Hai actress Kusha. Take a look below:
Kusha also accused coordinated troll accounts on X (formerly Twitter) of using the altered image to push a false narrative. According to Kusha, the posts claimed she was trying to get back into Samay’s good books after the comedian witnessed a resurgence in popularity this year.
She wrote, “Why would anyone spend any money doing this is beyond me. The way incel internet will stoop down to minimise me is laughable at this point,” adding laughing with tears emojis.
Sharing more screenshots of similar posts, Kusha said they all appeared to follow the same pattern. “Same script across the board,” she wrote. She added, “This is not an e-lafda but just how incel internet will get to the pits to minimise women. All this is happening because I take a stand and still will, lol.”
In another IG Story, she described the trolling campaign as a “hot pile of bakwas garbage that god knows who is funding”.
