In an interview with ETimes, Ayesha said, "I was pretty put off with the incident. More than anything it hurt me because I had not even begun, and I was thrown out of films. It was quite a controversy, it made it to the headlines, that Ayesha Jhulka was replaced, that hurt me a lot." Ayesha further added that her family and close friends gave her the required support. 

Ayesha further revealed that after she signed Kurbaan, the crew of the Salman Khan-starrer helped her, "Everyone came to my rescue, and the biggest rescue was the team of Kurbaan. They said to wait till our film came out and everyone told me to not feel bad. With their support, I came out of it pretty fast and my journey began when Kurbaan was released. It was a box office hit and everyone was talking about me."

Ayesha went on to star in biggest hits including Khiladi and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. Kurbaan's success helped Ayesha in grabbing Aamir Khan-starrer. "For Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Mansoor (Khan) saw a song from Kurbaan and finalised me for his film. He went to the editing room, saw one clip of the song, and said she’s the girl. That’s what he told Nasir ji (Hussain, producer), not to me directly because he was always a shy guy," Ayesha said. 

In her three decades career, Ayesha worked in Hindi, Bengali, Kannada and Telugu films. After a hiatus, Jhulka made her OTT debut with Hush Hush and has even appeared in Happy Family: Conditions Apply.
