Content creator and social media influencer Kusha Kapila has been in the headlines for several days after announcing her divorce from Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia. After the announcement on social media, there were a variety of responses: some of them were problematic, others were mostly misogynistic. Many of them blamed Kusha Kapila, whose popularity has increased in the last few years, for cheating in a relationship based on rumours. Now, after weeks of annoucing her divorce from Ahluwalia, she opened up about experiencing grief in a long, emotional post on Instagram.
Weeks after announcing her separation from her estranged husband Zorawar Singh Ahluwalia, she took to social media to share a heartfelt post. The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, announced their mutual decision to part ways on June 26.
She wrote, “I genuinely do believe it has irreversibly changed the way I look, eat, talk, exist. I feel like a version of myself, quite similar but not quite the same. I hold on to my favourite songs like they will run away from me if I don’t listen to them on loop. No new songs for my old grief. Familiarity is comforting. It’s my chicken soup. New is scary, almost paralysing.”
Kusha further wrote, “There is enough and more literature available on grief but none enough to prepare you. It does have its stages, that I can tell you. Yours truly thought she had evaded most stages, maybe even, grief altogether (obviously, stage one, denial). And then it hits you, like a big bang but on a microscope slide. You watch all of it happen. After all, you are behind the lens. It’s your eye on it.”
