After announcing her separation from husband Zorawar Ahluwalia in June, Kusha Kapila shares a heartfelt Instagram note on grief.
It’s been over 40 days since Kusha Kapila announced separation from Zorawar Ahluwalia. The actor has been working regularly since then, including a shoot with Deepika Padukone and her show Tinder Swipe Ride on Jio Cinema. However, Kusha took to her Instagram on Sunday to pen a long note on how the grief of separation refuses to fade.
Kusha’s note on social media
The note posted by Kusha on her Instagram read, “It’s a weird thing, this grief or whatever version of it I am currently experiencing. As overcome I am by its heaviness – I guess chest days feel like this – I am also strangely dwarfed by it, to the point of feeling like an injured nail on a pinky toe. Almost like a big bang in motion, only it’s on a microscope slide.”
She added that the grief doesn’t seem as daunting as the thought of its possible permanence. “Are we exclusive? Is this a forever thing? Will we grow to like each other or will we co-exist like cordial roommates till our rent agreement expires. No renewal for me, please.”
Kusha wrote that she genuinely believes the grief has “irreversibly changed the way I look, eat, talk, exist.” She compared it to her tendency to listen to her favourite songs on loop because she feels they would run away if she doesn’t do that. She also called familiarity her “chicken soup” and anything new “scary, almost paralysing.”
She finished the note by saying, “Yours truly thought she had evaded most stages (of grief), maybe even grief altogether (obviously, stage one, denial). And then it hits you, like a big bang but on a microscopic slide. You watch all of it happen. After all, you are behind the lens. It’s your eye on it.”
Kusha captioned the note as, “let’s file this under ‘sunday evenings are the worst’.”
Reaction on Kusha’s post

It really does. Been there done that.” Masaba had also divorced film producer Madhu Mantetena in 2019. She married actor Satyadeep Mishra earlier this year.
