Kusha Kapila slams comedian Kaviraj Singh for comparing influencers to s*x workers: 'R word is thrown..'

Content creator and actor Kusha Kapila has taken a strong stand against influencer Kaviraj Singh for making derogatory and deeply problematic remarks about a female influencer in one of his recent videos. In a powerful Instagram story, Kusha didn’t hold back, calling out the disturbing culture of online misogyny that continues to fester under the guise of humor and "free speech."

Sharing the video in question, Kusha wrote, “Is this disgusting? Yes. Am I shocked? No.” Her reaction echoes the sentiment of many women in digital spaces who have repeatedly called attention to the casual use of dangerous language—especially the use of the 'R' word—as punchlines or insults aimed at women.

Kusha pointed out that this is not just a lapse in judgment but a calculated move. “The comic is aware of the consequences his words are going to have. He is saying this to get that exact reaction that he's been getting,” she wrote. What’s even more disturbing, she noted, is the overwhelming support Kaviraj seems to be receiving in the form of praise and even financial donations.

“The most heartbreaking thing is the massive support he is getting... the culture that he is encouraging with his words is dangerous and pushes us back by decades,” Kusha stated, highlighting the broader implications of normalizing such toxic behavior.

She also emphasized that this isn’t a new issue. In her seven years of working in digital content, she has seen such cycles of misogyny repeat themselves over and over again. Despite the continued efforts by women creators to push back against such rhetoric, the backlash and the normalization of harmful language persist.

Kusha ended her message with a chilling but necessary reflection: “Mujhe bas yeh soch kar darr lag raha hai jo log isko paise de rahein hai, woh real life mein auraton ke saath kaise bartav karte hongey?” Her words serve as a reminder that what happens online has real-world consequences, and calling out such behavior is not just necessary—it’s urgent.
