While Kusha Kapila has previously been linked with both Bassi and Upmanyu, she has denied dating Abhishek Upmanyu.
Kusha Kapila and Anubhav Singh Bassi are rumoured to have been dating since last year.
Kusha Kapila’s latest photo with Mallika Dua, Shehnaaz Gill, Karan Veer Mehra, Anubhav Singh Bassi and Abhishek Upmanyu has caught everyone’s attention. While fans speculate that a massive creative collaboration is in the works, what caught everyone’s attention was Upmanyu and Bassi’s presence in the group picture. Both comedians have been rumoured to be dating Kapila.
If a viral Reddit post from last year is believed, Bassi and Kapila went for a Goa vacation, and onlookers were shocked to see their closeness. However, it should also be noted that there is no confirmation regarding this speculation. The rumours only gained momentum as Kapila was going through a divorce.
Before these rumours, it was said that Kusha Kapila had tried to hit on Abhishek Upmanyu while he was still dating comedian Urooj Ashfaq. The rumour mill began churning when Urooj detailed in a stand-up set how a married woman in their circle was flirting with Upmanyu at a party. Many believed she was talking about Kusha Kapila. However, Kapila set the record straight when she appeared on Sakshi Shivadasani and Naina Bhan’s podcast.
Speaking about the rumour, Kapila mentioned, “That’s where all crap about me started. She is speaking about somebody who is hitting on her boyfriend. It is assumed as the gospel truth that it’s about me. It’s not about me. It happened at a time when I was not even friends with anybody.”
“The best part is that Urooj has checked with me several times. ‘Should I give an explanation?’ I said, ‘If you give an explanation, you are validating it. I don’t think we need to do that.’ But it is largely believed that I am that person… What’s really weird is that I can no longer person my friendships online. I can no longer perform any male friendship because it will be believed that I am that girl,” Kapila had said.
Rumours about Kusha Kapila’s dating life started when she and her ex-husband, Zorawar Ahluwalia, announced their divorce. Besides Upmanyu and Bassi, Kusha was also linked to Arjun Kapoor. However, Arjun Kapoor denied these speculations.
