Jhanak: Arshi weighs the decision to end her marriage with Aniruddha or move to Mumbai

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Aniruddha in a state of turmoil as he grapples with Jhanak's critical health situation. The doctors have just informed him that her condition is deteriorating rapidly. Remembering a nearby temple famed for its miraculous healings, he believes that seeking divine assistance may be his last hope. He rushes out of the hospital, determined to pray for Jhanak's recovery.

Aniruddha's journey to the temple is fraught with anxiety. As he navigates the crowded streets, his driver attempts to ease his worries. While the story offers some comfort, Aniruddha's thoughts remain consumed by Jhanak's plight. He is convinced that this prayer might be his only chance to save her.

Aniruddha faces difficulties:

Upon arriving at the temple, Aniruddha is disheartened to learn that the pooja cannot take place immediately, as the priest advises him to return after 4 PM. Meanwhile, Vinayak tries to reason with Arshi, emphasizing that Aniruddha is simply trying to help. Srishti, however, disagrees with Vinayak's perspective. The priest, following traditional customs, stands firm in his decision not to allow Aniruddha inside, despite his heartfelt pleas. With Jhanak's condition deteriorating, despair begins to set in.

Aniruddha's driver steps in, urging the priest to reconsider, but the priest remains unyielding, reiterating that the pooja can only be performed after 4 PM. Aniruddha, visibly upset, argues that by then, it may be too late for Jhanak. He passionately implores the priest, expressing that as a devotee, he cannot abide by the rules when his wife's life is at stake. The priest questions who Aniruddha is breaking the rules for, to which he responds, recalling their wedding day, "For my wife."

Arshi expresses her frustration:

Ultimately, moved by Aniruddha's deep love and devotion, the priest grants him permission to proceed. He instructs Aniruddha to offer a flower to Mahadev and then touch that flower to Jhanak's forehead for her healing. Aniruddha wipes his tears and prepares to pray earnestly, hoping the sacred offering will bring the blessings needed for Jhanak's recovery.

Back at home, Arshi confronts Vinayak about his past regrets, pressing him to reveal what he failed to do 24 years ago. Vinayak suggests she direct her questions to Srishti, but Arshi declines, insisting on focusing on the current situation with Aniruddha. She challenges Vinayak on whether Aniruddha was right to go to Mumbai, prompting Vinayak to explain his actions. When Arshi reveals that Aniruddha had invited her to accompany him, Vinayak suggests she should have gone. Arshi expresses her frustration with the ongoing drama, stating she can't handle it anymore.

Arshi contemplates leaving for Mumbai:

Srishti urges Arshi to contact Aniruddha while he prays for Jhanak. When Arshi tries to call him, she finds his phone switched off, leading Srishti to suggest reconsidering her marriage. This shocks Arshi, who requests time to think things over. Vinayak comforts her in her distress, while Srishti insists that she needs to make a decision today. When Arshi asks Vinayak if he believes she should go to Mumbai, he agrees, but Srishti strongly disagrees. Arshi decides to reflect on her options and asks for some alone time to reach a conclusion.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, the medical team prepares to transfer Jhanak to a ventilator as her condition continues to worsen. The doctors seek Aniruddha's signature on the necessary papers for the procedure. With Aniruddha absent, Aditya convinces the doctor to let him sign, citing the urgency of the situation. After receiving the blessed flower from Mahadev, Aniruddha leaves the temple filled with renewed hope, believing that his prayers have been heard.
