Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar actress Ayesha Jhulka, who recently entered Celebrity MasterChef India as a wildcard contestant, has now been evicted from the cooking show just 10 days after her entry, which marked her first major television role. Usha Nadkarni, Dipikar Kakar, Ayesha and Faisu were in danger zone and faced the black apron challenge.
Usha was saved from elimination, while Faisu, Dipika, and Ayesha faced another challenge. However, Ayesha was ultimately eliminated after failing the final challenge of the week by presenting undercooked chicken to the judges—Farah Khan, Ranveer Brar, and Vikas Khanna—leaving them disappointed.

For the challenge, Dipika had to cook with fish, Ayesha with chicken, and Faisu with mutton. To raise the stakes of the danger zone task, chefs Vikas Khanna and Ranveer Brar instructed them to incorporate a special ingredient into their dishes.
Dipika prepared fish with Bengali sauce, which impressed the judges. Meanwhile, Ayesha struggled with her chicken, as it remained undercooked despite the chefs advising her to make slits for even cooking. However, the judges appreciated her mustard sauce. Faisu, on the other hand, presented his Rogan Josh mutton.
After tasting all the dishes, Dipika was declared safe, leaving Faisu and Ayesha in the danger zone. Ultimately, the 52-year-old actress was eliminated, and Faisu was saved.
Earlier this week, during the Blind-Wall Challenge, Ayesha's dish was criticised by the judges. Despite delivering a great dish in the Team Challenge on Thursday, she was in the danger zone as her team received fewer votes than the opposing team.
Chandan Prabhakar and Abhijeet Sawant were recently evicted from Celebrity MasterChef India.
