The leap also marked the exit of the show's lead actors, Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja, as a new chapter unfolded with fresh faces stepping in. Actors Arjit Taneja, Twinkle Arora, and Riya Sharma took over the narrative, bringing new energy and characters to the forefront.
In the lead-up to the leap, the storyline focused on a heartbreaking track. As seen in recent episodes, Jhanak's health deteriorated after she was poisoned by someone from the village.
She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors informed Parashar that her condition was critical and life-threatening.
Amid the crisis, Aniruddh's sister, Mimi—now working as a government officer—arrived in Parashar's village for an official inspection. Unaware of Jhanak's presence there, Mimi continued with her duties. Parashar encouraged Jhanak to meet Mimi, but Jhanak, feeling rejected and alienated by the villagers, refused to reveal herself.
However, fate intervened and brought the two women face to face. Jhanak was left stunned upon seeing Mimi, unsure of how to react. The encounter raised several questions—would Mimi recognize Jhanak? Would she discover her pregnancy? And would she play a role in changing the course of events?
As the episodes progressed, it was shown that Mimi, upon learning about Jhanak's critical condition, informed Aniruddha that Jhanak was no more.

The news shattered Aniruddha, especially since he had been unaware of her whereabouts for a long time. The emotional weight of this moment—combined with the mystery around Jhanak's poisoning and her pregnancy—formed the crux of the story's final chapter before the generational leap.
With Mimi now holding a pivotal role in uncovering the truth and conveying the tragic news to Aniruddha, the show delivered a rollercoaster of emotions. Heart-wrenching decisions, emotional confrontations, and intense drama built up to the transition, setting the stage for the new narrative and the next generation of characters.
As Jhanak entered its post-leap era, fans were left reeling from the emotional high of the final pre-leap episodes, eager to see how the story would unfold from here.

Women play a vital role in environment management: Kajal Pisal
Actress Kajal Pisal, who plays Tanuja, in the TV show Jhanak talks about role of women, in managing environment management on World Environment Day celebrated annually on June 5. The day encourages awareness and action for the protection of the environment. Says Kajal, "Every woman plays a vital role in environment management by managing household waste, promoting sustainable practices, and influencing family and community behaviour. They are key to reducing waste, conserving resources, and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility within their households." She adds, "They are directly involved in managing household waste, including sorting, recycling, and composting. Proper waste segregation, separating organic waste from recyclables, and composting food scraps are crucial steps in reducing waste sent to landfills." According to her, "Wasting food isn't just a humanitarian or social issue - it's also an environmental one." She says, "The food cycle doesn't just end at our trash can. Food waste that ends up in landfills and rots produces a large amount of methane – a more powerful greenhouse gas than even CO2. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade gold CFDs with a trusted broker | Open an account today IC Markets Learn More Undo The food wasted in landfills is responsible for roughly 8 percent of global emissions. Additionally, when we throw away food, we're also wasting the time, resources, and energy that went into creating the food initially. I feel every small step from home brings a huge change. I feel its our duty to address such issues. We need to educate more and more people about the same so that we can protect our environment." Kajal has previously worked in shows such as Saath Saathiya, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Sasural Simar Ka 2 among others.

Jhanak: Aniruddh breaks silence; chooses Jhanak over Arshi
The latest episode of Jhanak presented an emotionally intense storyline that was packed with confrontations, heartbreak, and a life-changing choice from Aniruddh that rocked the entire household. Broken Bonds and Harsh Decisions Aniruddh went back home to an angry Arshi, asking him why he was being quiet. But he bluntly informed her that she didn't matter to him anymore. When Arshi announced she couldn't live like this any longer, Aniruddh assented without any hesitation. Choton later reported to Aniruddh about the mayhem created by Arshi—how she abused Anjana and Bablu, and even confined Moon to a room, prompting Bablu to think of quitting the house in shame. Angered by Arshi's actions, Aniruddh firmly demanded an apology. Arshi, refusing to acknowledge her mistake, questioned what she had done wrong. Aniruddh, frustrated, insisted she apologize. Bablu gently told Aniruddh that they didn't need an apology, while Anjana sadly stated they should leave the house. But Aniruddh stopped them, saying they deserved to stay more than Arshi, who clearly lacked any understanding of family values. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Tensions rose even higher when Arshi accused Aniruddh of being on the side of Jhanak. Without any hesitation, Aniruddh shocked everyone by stating that he needed a divorce. He openly admitted that he was planning to wed Jhanak, clarifying that she was not married and deserved his commitment. Arshi was heartbroken and asked if their lives were nothing but a game to him, but Aniruddh never showed any sign of change and stated that he would take Jhanak back home after the divorce. Elsewhere, another storm brewed as Abhijeet discussed filing a case against Jeet. Ishani bravely offered to handle the legal battle herself. Despite Ambika's concerns about the toll it could take, Ishani confidently insisted on managing it alone. At the same time, there was a gentle moment between Jhanak and Parashar. She thanked him for his good nature, saying he was a man with a good heart. Parashar, his eyes smiling, told her to go back to the city and asked if Aniruddh had spoken to her. She shook her head, quietly. Parashar then gently declared his desire to see her wedded to Aniruddh. Jhanak was touched and amazed and asked if he really meant it — and Parashar promised that he did.

Jhanak promo: Riya Sharma impresses fans with her new look; Arjit Taneja enters the show as a cop
Jhanak has ventured into a new story track with a 20-year leap, giving way to a new storyline and new lead actors. Television popular stars Riya Sharma and Arjit Taneja are replacing former leads Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja as the new lead protagonists. While the details of the post-leap storyline remain under wraps, a newly released promo gives a glimpse into what's to come. Riya Sharma now plays the titular role of Jhanak, while Arjit Taneja portrays a police officer. The promo shows a brief but telling encounter: Jhanak is walking with her bicycle when it is accidentally pushed by a cop's motorcycle. He apologizes, but she refuses to accept it. When he offers her compensation to apologize, she visibly bristles and states that she will report to the police station to complain — against the officer himself. The exchange suggests a forceful Jhanak and primes the audience for a hot-headed chemistry between the new leads. Prior to the leap, Jhanak was played by Hiba Nawab and Anirudh by Krushal Ahuja. Both the actors have since left the show. It is said that Hiba decided to leave because of the age leap her character needed, not feeling that it was the right time for her in her career. Surprisingly, the jump was already scheduled months prior but was delayed and ultimately scrapped because of scheduling issues. But with ratings remaining essentially level, the production staff opted to finally proceed with the makeover. With Arjit Taneja and Jhanak Sharma at the center, the show is looking forward to reviving its storyline while keeping its emotional essence intact. Whether this jump will be complete and bring people back is yet to be seen — but one thing is sure: Jhanak is stepping into a new phase altogether.
