Jhanak 19th April : Anirudh Rocks ; Jhanak Shocked !
As dawn breaks, Jhanak, laden with her belongings, prepares to bid adieu to the Bose family. Appu, in a desperate plea, implores her to reconsider. Jhanak, however, is resolute in her decision to leave. Shristi and Arshi chime in, lauding Tejas as a superior choice, accusing Jhanak of squandering a golden opportunity. Provoked, Jhanak challenges them to orchestrate a wedding between Arshi and Tejas to prove their point. Shristi, seething with rage, raises her hand to strike Jhanak, only to be intercepted by Anirudhha. The room gasps in surprise as Anirudhha steps up to defend Jhanak.
Anirudhha firmly asserts that Shristi has no right to lay a hand on Jhanak. When Shristi invokes her aunt status, Anirudhha rebuffs her. Vipasha and Shristi argue that Jhanak, being Tejas’s half-wife, should complete the remaining rituals. Anirudhha counters, reminding them of his own marriage to Jhanak, and insists they accept Arshi and Jhanak’s union. Arshi is left reeling from Anirudhha’s words. Appu, overwhelmed, breaks down, pleading with Jhanak to stay.
Anirudhha, concerned about Jhanak’s destination, offers to take responsibility for her. Despite Arshi’s objections, he stands firm, refusing to let Jhanak leave. Shristi repeatedly advises Jhanak to return to Kashmir and marry Tejas. Anirudhha, however, is determined to keep Jhanak in the house. He suggests that Jhanak engage in a fashion project to earn her own living and urges her to file a complaint against Shrishti and the other conspirators.
Arshi is taken aback by Anirudhha’s threatening words. Anirudhha insists that Jhanak will stay in the house until his own marriage. Shubha requests Shristi to arrange Anirudhha’s marriage. In the end, Anirudhha prevents Jhanak from leaving. Jhanak is taken aback by Anirudhha’s heroic stance. With her luggage in tow, she retreats to her room. Appu celebrates with a dance of joy.
In the evening, a prayer offering goes awry when Jhanak’s attire catches fire. Anirudhha swiftly intervenes, extinguishing the flames.
Precap: Anirudhha will appeal to a major company to reinstate Jhanak in their project. The following morning, renowned director Adity Kapoor will visit the Bose house to meet Jhanak. Rimi will ridicule Jhanak’s status as a maid, but Jhanak will stand her ground.
