Anupamaa actor Ashlesha Sawant to enter Jhanak as Arshi post leap

Star Plus’ popular show Jhanak is all set for a big twist with a 20-year time leap. The makers recently released a new promo giving viewers a sneak peek into the dramatic changes that are about to unfold. In the promo, Jhanak is seen walking with her bicycle when a policeman on a motorbike accidentally bumps into her. He apologizes, but Jhanak refuses to accept it. When he offers her money, she becomes even more upset.

Standing her ground, Jhanak boldly says she will go to the police station and file a complaint—even though the man she’s reporting is a police officer. This powerful scene highlights the fearless nature of the new Jhanak and hints at a spark between her and the officer.

Along with the leap, the show will see several new faces joining the cast. The latest update is that actress Ashlesha Sawant, best known for her role in Anupamaa, will now be seen playing the role of Arshi after the leap. Previously, actress Chandni Sharma played this character, but she exited the show when the leap was announced. To continue the character’s journey, the makers have brought in Ashlesha.

In another casting change, Sumeet Sachdev has been roped in to play Aniruddha, a character that was earlier portrayed by Krushal Ahuja. Sumeet is a well-known face on Indian television, remembered for his performances in shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. His entry is expected to add a new dimension to the post-leap storyline.

With these major changes, Jhanak promises to take viewers on a fresh emotional journey filled with drama, relationships, and new beginnings. The leap introduces Riya Sharma as the grown-up Jhanak and Arjit Taneja as a police officer, who appears to be her potential new love interest. Their first interaction, shown in the promo, has already caught the audience’s attention and sparked curiosity about how their story will unfold.

The upcoming episodes will reveal how Jhanak’s life transforms after the leap, what role Arshi plays in her life, and how Aniruddha’s character continues in the new timeline. With a fresh cast, new plot twists, and powerful performances, Jhanak is all set to keep its viewers engaged.

Fans are now eagerly waiting to see how these new characters and stories shape the future of the show.
