Jhanak: Fans express disappointment as new promo features separation between Jhanak and Anirudh
Hiba Nawab
and
Krushal Ahuja
's Jhanak has been one of the most loved TV shows recently. For its story telling and dramatic turns of events, the show has always held viewers in suspense. But all is not well these days.
Recent events have left fans disheartened.
The producers have officially confirmed a
generation leap
, which implies that both lead actors—Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja—will be leaving the show. Prior to this dramatic change, a new promo was released on the official social media account of the show, giving away the surprise plot twist. However, rather than eagerness, the promo unleashed fury among fans, as it again threatens to break up the favorite couple,
Jhanak and Anirudh
.
In the promo, Jhanak (Hiba Nawab) dreams of living a blissful life with Anirudh (Krushal Ahuja) and two kids. But the dream vanishes, and reality hits—Jhanak is with a new-born, and Anirudh is living independently with their daughter. Both the characters are missing one another yet living apart, bearing heavy emotions in silence.
The caption to the promo read:
'Kuch rishte pal bhar ke hote hain… par unka intezaar, zindagi bhar rehta hai. Jhanak aur Anirudh—ek kahani jo adhuri reh gayi… Par kya is baar takraayegi taqdeer se jeet?'
The promo's emotional tone was not palatable to netizens, who poured criticism and disappointment into the comment section.
Lots of long-time viewers, who had been anticipating a reunion and a stable romance between Jhanak and Anirudh, felt disappointed.
One viewer commented, "Bestest jodi, awesome chemistry. Krushi's emotional scene was amazing but worst story writing. We want to see you both together in a lovely love story. Vaise bhi is show se hume kuch nahi mila…" Another said, "Fabulous actors but worst storyline ever. We wanted to see Jhanak as a developing woman and Anirudh-Jhanak remaining together."
In spite of the backlash, the show continues to make its way towards its scheduled 20-year time jump. New faces will be incorporated to continue the story, while the original stars will say goodbye to their characters.
Jhanak's cast includes Hiba Nawab, Krushal Ahuja, Chandni Sharma, Dolly Sohi, and more in lead roles. Although the upcoming season of the show will have a new story, the fans still miss the original cast and plot that had captured their hearts earlier.

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.
