Jhanak: Mimi fakes illness to catch the doctor's attention, prompting him to teach her a lesson

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Anirudhha confessing his feelings for Jhanak. Just then, Arshi enters the room along with other family members, overhearing the confession. The family reacts with anger towards Jhanak, insisting that she must leave the house. However, Jhanak stands her ground, urging them to empathise with Anirudhha's pain rather than blaming him. Despite their attempts to force her out, she remains resolute. Anirudhha feels a surge of anger at his family's hostility towards Jhanak. Arshi harshly criticises Jhanak, bringing up the shameful reputation of her mother.

Meanwhile, Rumi and Mimi arrive at a café where the doctor is meeting with a colleague. Eager to catch the doctor's attention, Mimi pretends to be ill. Rumi approaches the doctor for assistance, but he is sceptical of their ruse. Ultimately, he reluctantly agrees to help when Mimi insists on going to the hospital. She panics when he suggests she visit the hospital, and to get a ride in his car, she escalates her theatrics. Following advice from his senior, the doctor agrees to take her.

Back at home, Shubho confronts Jhanak, who retorts that Shubho's schemes will eventually be revealed. The tension between Jhanak and Arshi escalates as Anjana comes to Jhanak's defence. Anirudhha tells Arshi he wants her out of his life, but she is determined to hold on to him. Jhanak makes it clear that Anirudhha harbours no feelings for Arshi, attributing their distance as the reason for her own connection with him. She dismisses Shubho and Tanuja, Anirudhha's parents, as irrelevant to their situation. When Arshi insists that Anirudhha doesn't require Jhanak's support, he asserts his preference for Jhanak over Arshi, which infuriates Arshi, prompting her to storm out.

In the hospital, the doctor examines Mimi. A few hours later, Shubho and Tanuja arrive, and the doctor exaggerates Mimi's condition, claiming it is quite serious. He inflates her symptoms to persuade them to restrict her behaviour at home, which irritates Mimi.

On set, Aditya asks Jhanak if everything is alright at the Bose residence. She confides in her friend about her struggles and how challenging it is to be caught between Arshi and Anirudhha.
