Arjit Taneja reacts to reports of Jhanak going off air: 'Do not know about..'

Star Plus' popular drama Jhanak has made a significant mark since its launch, offering viewers a refreshing narrative centered around a strong female protagonist navigating through the challenges of societal expectations, family politics, and personal aspirations. The show stars Hiba Nawab in the titular role, and Arjit Taneja as the male lead, bringing an engaging blend of emotion, romance, and drama. With its consistent viewership and strong fan base, Jhanak has become a prominent part of the channel’s prime-time lineup, drawing attention for its story arc and the chemistry between its lead characters.

Recently, speculation began circulating online suggesting that Jhanak might be going off air. These rumours picked up pace following reports of a new show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, set to premiere at 10:30 PM on Star Plus, leading many to assume that Jhanak, which currently airs in that time slot, could be facing cancellation. This created concern among fans of the show, who took to social media to express their disappointment and seek clarity.

Addressing the growing buzz, Arjit Taneja, who plays the lead role of Aniruddh in Jhanak, cleared the air in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla. The actor categorically denied the rumours and reassured fans that the show is not ending.

“(Jhanak) It’s definitely not going off air. Don’t know about the new time slot though,” Arjit told Pinkvilla, confirming that while there may be changes in the scheduling, the show itself will continue to air.

The clarification comes as a relief to fans who have grown attached to the characters and storyline. The possible time slot shift is not unusual in television programming, especially when new shows are introduced to the lineup. With Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi making a return in a fresh format, Star Plus may be restructuring its schedule to accommodate both popular titles.

For now, viewers can rest assured that Jhanak remains a part of the channel’s offerings. With its strong performances, engaging script, and loyal viewership, the show continues to enjoy a stable position, and the production team seems committed to delivering compelling episodes in the days to come.
