The 'Kaal' actor had teamed up with choreographer Mohena on the show, who was earlier with another evicted contestant Purab Kohli.
"Frankly, I did not expect it coming. Judges have always praised me and given me great scores so I did not think I would lose so early. In fact, I had prepared my next act, which I feel would have been my best act on the show," Kushal told PTI after his eviction.
Pitted against co-contestant Kiku Sharda this week, Kushal lost after he bagged less score than the stand-up comedian.
The 32-year-old had entered the show with other wild-card contestants RJ Malishka and 'So You Think You Can Dance' winner Tara Jean Popowich.
