Jhanak: Arshi demands clarity from Aniruddha on continuing their marriage

Tonight's Jhanak episode opens with Anirudhha facing a serious confrontation with his wife, Arshi. She expresses her deep frustration, stating that she can no longer remain in the house due to her husband's illicit affair. Tanuja and Shubho stand by Arshi's decision, while Anirudhha remains silent, unwilling to respond.

Anirudhha's grandmother interjects, advising him that he cannot continue to balance two relationships simultaneously. She urges him to focus on his family rather than being involved with someone outside it. As the family members blame Anirudhha for his actions, he attempts to justify his behaviour by explaining that he only went to Mumbai because Jhanak was facing a serious health issue. Anirudhha silently listens as Arshi seeks a definitive answer from him, making it clear that if he wants to continue their relationship, there can be no involvement with any other woman. She questions whether he is capable of making that commitment, pushing him to make a choice.

Shristi and Tanuja press Anirudhha about why he declined a work opportunity abroad. They remind him of his promise before their marriage to build a life for them overseas. Clearly weary of the interrogation, Anirudhha reflects on Jhanak's hurtful words, realising that she has moved on and no longer holds feelings for him. With this newfound understanding, he decides not to turn down his job offer this time and reassures Arshi that he will indeed settle abroad.

Meanwhile, a tense argument unfolds between Chhoton and Mrinalini in their car. Chhoton admits his feelings for Meenu, stating he has no expectations from Mrinalini, which only fuels her anger. Mrinalini tries to convey that one doesn't need a job to live a fulfilling life. 

Despite Chhoton's desire to leave, Meenu urges him to hear her out. She suggests he pursue his graduation through distance education, a request that shocks him. However, Meenu softens and explains that she wants him to be independent, leaving Chhoton silently accepting her suggestion.

In a separate scene, members of the Bose family make light of Jhanak's health issues, doubting the severity of her condition. Both Arshi and Shristi question Anirudhha about why Jhanak contacted him in Mumbai. He reiterates that Jhanak was indeed in a serious condition and had been hospitalised. He vows once more that he will not break his promises to anyone again.
