Jhanak: Riya Sharma reacts to rumours of the show going off air

Since its launch in 2023, Star Plus’ daily soap Jhanak has been entertaining audiences with its emotional storylines and strong performances. The show, which originally starred Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja in lead roles, quickly climbed the popularity charts and became one of the most loved serials on Indian television.

At one point, Jhanak dominated the TRP charts and ranked among the top-rated shows across all channels. Its emotional storytelling and relatable characters struck a chord with families, making it a daily favorite. However, in recent times, the show’s ratings have seen a dip, and that has sparked several speculations about its future.

After the leap in the story, the makers introduced a new cast, with Arjit Taneja, Riya Sharma, and Twinkle Arora stepping into lead roles. The fresh pairing and new plotlines helped keep the drama engaging, and the show continued to hold its ground, especially in its late-night 11 pm slot. Despite this, buzz around the industry suggested that Jhanak might be nearing its end.

Amid these rumors, fans of the show grew concerned about losing a favorite serial that has been part of their daily routine. To clear the air, actress Riya Sharma, who now plays the role of Jhanak, addressed the ongoing chatter in an exclusive conversation with India Forums.

Riya said, “Yeah, I heard about the news. I’ve been getting tagged since morning. But, as per our team, these are all just rumours, fortunately. It’s nothing like that. So, let’s talk positive. For now, we are on and I hope we get nice ratings in future.”

Her statement has come as a huge relief for fans, who were worried that the show might be taken off-air soon. Riya’s assurance suggests that the team of Jhanak is very much focused on delivering more drama, emotions, and engaging storylines to keep viewers hooked.

While rumors often surround long-running daily soaps, especially when ratings fluctuate, Riya’s response shows that the cast and crew remain optimistic about the future. For now, audiences can continue to enjoy the journey of Jhanak and the twists and turns it has in store.

With its loyal fan base and late-night popularity, the show still holds strong potential to bounce back in TRPs and maintain its place as one of Star Plus’ loved dramas.
