Most people who come out of Bigg Boss want to stay famous. That’s usually how it goes: brand deals, constant social media posts, endorsements—the whole routine of chasing the next headline.
But Ayesha Khan took a different path. After Bigg Boss 17, she didn’t just aim for the spotlight—she actually went and started a food truck with her brother. It’s not a glam, influencer-style side project either. From the looks of it, it’s a real, feet-on-the-ground operation.
The timeline’s interesting, too. She set up the food truck before her role in Dhurandhar, so this wasn’t a backup plan after getting trolled.
It’s been part of her story all along. Lately, people have gone after her for talking about shooting a Dhurandhar song while she was on her period. Trolls went wild, and Ayesha called out how things just spiraled into a “national joke.” She also pointed out how little people seem to understand these issues. While everyone obsessed over that comment online, her jump into business didn’t get nearly as much attention.
She’s breaking the usual Bigg Boss pattern
Most people chase clout after the show. Ayesha decided to actually build something real—something that’d matter whether or not she kept trending online.
That’s no small thing. Running a food truck in Mumbai isn’t just a photo op. You have to pick the right spot. You’ve got to deal with customers, keep things running smoothly, and sort out the everyday messes that come with running a food business. You can’t just post your way to success here—you have to show up and make it work.
Why start a food truck at all?
On a practical level, it’s about stability. The entertainment world is notoriously unpredictable. Work comes and goes, things are up in the air half the time, and it’s hard to plan for the future.
By starting this business, Ayesha set herself up with a steady income, more control, and something to lean on outside of acting gigs. Instead of just hoping for brand deals or new scripts, she owns something outright. The results are up to her.
What’s the truck all about?
Ayesha and her brother run “Bhaap Re Bhaap,” a food truck parked in Versova. The big idea is pretty straightforward: healthy, steamed food—no oil. The menu ranges from peri peri chicken and drumsticks to salads, all aimed at people who want something lighter than typical street food but still want the convenience and taste.
This isn’t just another food cart, either. It’s tapping into the crowd of folks in Mumbai who care about eating better but don’t always have the time.
She started all this before Dhurandhar even happened, which says a lot about where her head’s at—it wasn’t Plan B after a movie. She built her business while growing her media profile, instead of waiting for the next break.
Can reality stars actually build a life after the show?
For a lot of ex-contestants, the answer is usually more brand partnerships, paid Instagram posts, and event appearances. It’s all about staying seen. But Ayesha’s food truck shows there’s another way—one that isn’t all about likes or trending hashtags.
Why does her story feel different?
Honestly, it cuts through the recycled “entrepreneur” stories we hear all the time. She’s actually doing the work. She’s gone from chasing short-term buzz to building a long-term gig. From being online to showing up in the real world.
If you look at the big picture, her journey isn’t just a straight line from TV to films. It’s about using that visibility as a launchpad, not the destination. From reality TV on Bigg Boss 17, to feeding people healthy food in Mumbai, to balancing it all with film—Ayesha Khan is putting together a career that just feels more real.
