Jhanak : Zain Imam confirms being approached for the show post leap

Jhanak, starring Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja, has been a hot topic in recent months. While the show gained popularity in its early episodes due to its strong storyline and good ratings, things have changed over time. For the past few months, both the storyline and the ratings have been falling, and viewers have been critical of its outdated and regressive plot.

Earlier, India Forums had reported that Jhanak would take a 4-year leap. However, we’ve now learned from reliable sources that the leap will actually be a massive 20 years. This major jump in time will completely change the storyline, introducing a new era and set of characters to the show.

The current lead actors—Hiba Nawab, Krushal Ahuja, and Chandni Sharma—will exit the show as part of this shift. This marks a fresh start for Jhanak, and the makers are already looking for new faces to lead the next chapter.

According to sources, well-known actors like Sehban Azim, Rohit Chandel, and Zain Imam are being considered for the new male lead. In an exclusive chat with India Forums, Zain Imam confirmed, “Yes, I have been approached for the show, but nothing is confirmed yet.” So while he is in the running, no official decision has been made.

There were also reports that Pandya Store actress Shiny Doshi was offered the role of the new female lead, which would replace Hiba Nawab’s character after the leap. However, Shiny has reportedly turned down the offer, leaving the makers to continue their search.

With such a significant time jump and a new cast on the horizon, Jhanak is preparing to completely reinvent itself. Whether this bold move will help the show regain its audience remains to be seen.

Stay tuned for more updates on the show’s casting and upcoming twists.
