Aishwarya Sharma breaks silence: “I was approached for Jhanak, But I said No”

Star Plus’ popular show Jhanak has been in the news lately for its upcoming major leap. As previously reported, the show will soon take a 20-year jump, which will bring big changes in both the storyline and cast. Now, a fresh update making rounds is that actress Aishwarya Sharma, known for her role as Pakhi in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, was approached to join the show in a significant role.

Aishwarya, who left Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin in May 2023 to try new opportunities, was reportedly offered a negative role in Jhanak post-leap. If she had accepted, this would have marked a big shift from her previous roles. According to reports, she was to play the main antagonist in the show, bringing a new twist to the storyline. Her character was expected to add more drama and keep viewers hooked as the story moves forward after the time jump.

However, when India Forums reached out to Aishwarya to confirm the news, she clarified that she is not part of the show. She said, “I am not doing the show. I just got to know from the media that I am part of it.” She further explained that she was indeed approached for the role but turned down the offer, saying, “I was approached for the show, but I said no.”
