Jhanak: Aniruddha calls Jhanak his wife, asking her to see his face first after the operation

Tonight's Jhanak episode opens with a tense confrontation between Aditya and Aniruddha. Aniruddha insists on signing the bond papers for the operation, a responsibility Aditya believes should be his. Tensions rise as Aditya questions the nature of Aniruddha's relationship with Jhanak. Despite the conflict, Aniruddha ultimately signs the bond papers. Before the operation begins, he expresses a strong desire to speak with Jhanak and seeks permission from the doctor to visit her in the cabin. Although Aditya strongly opposes this, Aniruddha disregards his objections and goes to see Jhanak.

Meanwhile, at Aniruddha's home, Arshi makes the decision to leave, upset by her husband's decision to visit his mistress against her wishes. She feels their marriage has reached a breaking point and refuses to wait for Aniruddha or Shubhu's return. The family elders, particularly Tanuja and Lal, plead with Arshi to reconsider, but she is resolute. Arshi refuses to continue tolerating her husband's betrayal. Srishti and Vinayak arrive to support her, with Srishti emphasising how long her daughter has endured the situation. She makes it clear that Arshi can no longer live in a household where she is not respected or valued.

Jhanak forgive Aniruddha:

Srishti openly criticises Bablu and Ajanta for allowing Jhanak to live in the same house as Arshi, accusing Bablu of deliberately stirring up trouble. Bablu and Ajanta are humiliated by Srishti's harsh words. Vinayak attempts to calm Srishti down and prevent further insults toward the family. Meanwhile, Aniruddha begins to reflect on his past actions, realising that Jhanak had been right all along. He acknowledges that a vulnerable moment when he was ill had led Jhanak to contemplate her own pregnancy.

Back at the hospital, Jhanak is surprised when a relative from Kolkata informs her that Aniruddha has arrived. She is even more shocked when Aniruddha himself appears, offering a heartfelt apology for his previous disrespect. In an emotional exchange, Jhanak and Aniruddha come to the realisation of how important they are to each other. Aniruddha recalls key moments that brought them closer and expresses his regret. Jhanak, for her part, forgives him, stating she holds no grudges against him, especially with the uncertainty of her upcoming operation. Fearing for her life, she chooses to let go of any past resentment.

Aniruddha assures his support:

In a surprising twist, Aniruddha tells Jhanak that after her operation, he plans to pay the money Aditya has provided, referring to her as his wife. This revelation shocks Jhanak, who cautions him not to say things that aren’t true. Aniruddha responds by sharing that he has never been able to forget the day they were forced into their marriage.

Just then, a nurse interrupts their conversation, informing them that the doctor is ready to see Jhanak. Aniruddha reassures her that everything will be fine and that she will be grateful for his presence. Although Jhanak suggests he should leave, Aniruddha insists he won’t go until her operation is complete. He urges her to look for him first when she wakes up, assuring her not to be afraid because he will be there for her.
