Jhanak: Jhanak declares, everything between her and Aniruddha is over

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Aditya explaining that she has a large tumour in her abdomen and that his responsibility was simply to pass the message on. When Aniruddha asks if the surgery is risky, Aditya confirms that it is. He clarifies that Jhanak had requested him to relay the information and suggests there is no need to deceive Arshi or come over, as he's done his part by telling him. Aditya ends the call. Arshi, noticing the call, inquires about the situation. 

Aniruddha shares that Aditya had called to tell him Jhanak has a tumour, dismissing the idea that she might be pregnant. Arshi questions why Aditya had contacted him directly. Aniruddha then announces his plans to leave for Mumbai the following day. Arshi, visibly upset, warns him that she won't be there when he returns if he goes. Arshi accuses him of being willing to lose her, but he insists on his need to be there. She demands to know his relationship with Jhanak, but he only describes himself as a well-wisher. Furious, Arshi threatens that if he leaves, it will mark the end of their relationship. Aniruddha walks away as she screams in frustration.

Shrishti's advice for Arshi:

Arshi contacts Shrishti, who immediately senses trouble and asks if something is wrong. Arshi starts to share about Jhanak, but Shrishti quickly interrupts, asking what Jhanak has done now. She assumes Jhanak must have left for Mumbai, but Arshi reveals everything to her, including the fact that Aniruddha left his phone behind. Shrishti advises Arshi to give him an ultimatum, warning that if he follows through with his trip to Mumbai to see Jhanak, he must face the consequences. 

Just then, Vinayak, overhearing the conversation, asks why Jhanak is in the hospital. Shrishti responds that she isn't sure and tells him to go to bed, promising to handle the situation. However, Vinayak, believing Jhanak to be pregnant and alone, expresses concern. Shrishti dismisses his worry, stating that Aditya is by her side. Vinayak grows frustrated with Shrishti's assumptions and tells her to stop making up stories.

Arshi expresses her frustration:

Shrishti, determined, argues with him further, insinuating that Jhanak had been carrying Aditya's child. But Vinayak, focused on the severity of the situation, stresses that the priority is saving Jhanak's life, and he urges Shrishti not to speak in such a way. He then attempts to call Aniruddha, but Arshi answers the phone. Vinayak asks what's happening, and Arshi shares her frustration, explaining that Aniruddha is still planning to head to Mumbai. 

She admits she is tired of the ongoing drama and demands a resolution, feeling it's time Aniruddha chooses between her and Jhanak, as she can no longer endure the uncertainty. Vinayak agrees, wanting clarity about the situation. Shrishti admits to being in a difficult position, unable to share the full truth. She asks Arshi to come home while simultaneously calling Guru ji to inquire about Jhanak's condition and her location. Vinayak, stressed by the ongoing tension, wonders how he can protect Jhanak from the potential fallout.

Jhanal inquires about Aniruddha:

The following morning, Aditya attempts to comfort Jhanak before her operation. She asks if he had a conversation with Aniruddha, to which Aditya responds affirmatively, insisting that he couldn't ignore her request. He teases her, asking if she's curious about the conversation, but she denies it. Aditya shares that Aniruddha wasn't explicit about whether he would come or not, but Aditya believes he might show up. 

Jhanak, doubtful, questions if Aniruddha would really risk upsetting his wife by coming. She concludes that Aniruddha won't come. Aditya mentions how he informed Aniruddha about the tumour, and though Aniruddha seemed shocked, he wasn't clear in his response. Jhanak, resigning herself to the situation, claims that everything between her and Aniruddha is over and that she was foolish to have held him in such high regard.

Jhanak's heartfelt confession:

Lalon is seen preparing for work, feeling lucky to have Appu by his side. He notes that his clients are willing to wait for their orders because of her. When Appu wakes up, she playfully asks Lalon to return by the afternoon as she will miss him, but he explains that he has too much work to do. Later, Anuradha brings food for both Appu and Lalon. While Appu freshens up, Lalon eats quickly, explaining that he has already had his fill, but Anuradha insists on feeding him by hand, which leads to light-hearted teasing between them. Appu jokes about the scene, and Lalon responds that Anuradha is his mother and will always feed him. Anuradha, smiling, says she's also a mother to Appu and offers to feed her too. Appu feels happy and content with the gesture.

As the scene shifts back to Aditya and Jhanak, he calls her selfish, but Jhanak simply agrees, saying that she knows he loves only one person and doesn't have affection for anyone else's love or friendship. She admits that she values the person in her life, describing him as precious, but Aditya struggles to understand how she can love someone who doesn't return her feelings or respect her. Jhanak expresses that she considers Aditya a friend and suggests they leave soon. Aditya agrees, mentioning that he ordered flowers for her and reassures her that she will recover and live a normal life again. His efforts finally bring a smile to her face.

Precap for the next episode

In the precap, Aniruddha is seen hurrying on his way, opening the car door as he announces that he needs to visit the temple to pray for Jhanak. He steps out of the car and expresses his love for Jhanak, reassuring himself that nothing bad will happen to her. He then rushes towards the hospital.
