Jhanak: Aniruddh expresses his sorrow over Arshi leaving his house

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Jhanak informing Aniruddha that she and Choton will take Arshi home. Arshi reassures Jhanak, telling her that she won't take Aniruddha with her and urges her to trust him. Jhanak, however, responds that her reasons for hesitation are different. Arshi questions if Jhanak thinks her parents will try to persuade Aniruddha.

Jhanak reassures her that it's not the case and asks her to trust her. Arshi, feeling betrayed, says that it's because she trusted Jhanak that she's in this situation. Aniruddha steps in and tells Jhanak to go to her room. She protests, reminding him that he cannot go out alone at this hour, as he had promised to listen to her. Choton offers to drop Arshi home, but Arshi insists that she doesn't need anyone's help and leaves.

Laal comments that he's never seen a girl like Jhanak. Shubhankar foresees that one day, Aniruddha will insult Jhanak publicly. Bipasha suspects if Jhanak is blackmailing him. Tanuja suggests that Aniruddha should confide in her about his troubles. Aniruddha reassures them, claiming he's fine, and tells Jhanak that he can't allow Arshi to go alone at this time. Jhanak advises him to take care of himself, and Aniruddha leaves.

Meanwhile, Arshi reflects on Aniruddha's words. He tells her that he feels helpless and wants to take responsibility for her. She remarks that she is his responsibility, but Jhanak is his love. He expresses sadness over her departure but says he has no other option. Arshi grows frustrated and tells him to stop, refusing to discuss it further. He explains that they are both right in their own ways and assures her that he will stay in touch. She demands that he not contact her, questioning if he will truly be happy after marrying Jhanak. Aniruddha says he would feel relieved, though he struggles to admit the truth to Arshi.

Later, Srishti confronts Aniruddha, accusing him of treating marriage like a joke. Vinayak questions whether Aniruddha is unable to adjust with Arshi. Arshi interrupts, declaring that everything is over and she's tired of it all. She reveals that Aniruddha wants to marry Jhanak, seeking freedom from her, and she has granted him that. Srishti chastises Aniruddha, calling him shameless and claiming that he will never be happy. Arshi tells Srishti to stop talking like that, but Vinayak agrees with Srishti, saying Aniruddha is in the wrong. He hopes that one day, Aniruddha will realise his mistake. Aniruddha admits that he knows he's wrong but feels there's no alternative.

Srishti demands to know why Aniruddha needs to marry Jhanak. Arshi tells her not to humiliate her further, stating that it's over, and Aniruddha can live as he wishes. Aniruddha insists that he will still fulfil his responsibility toward Arshi. Srishti offers to help take care of Arshi instead.

Elsewhere, Bipasha expresses concern about facing others, while Tanuja laments how perfect Arshi was as a daughter-in-law. Bipasha criticises Jhanak's behaviour, suggesting they should throw her out of the house before Aniruddha returns. Vinayak advises Aniruddha that he can still support Arshi by staying with her. He points out that Arshi has sacrificed her career for Aniruddha. Arshi, however, clarifies that they are not legally married and that Aniruddha is essentially single now. She asks her parents to accept the situation and blames Jhanak for everything.

Vinayak supports Arshi's decision and mentions that they are waiting for a court verdict, and Srishti will be punished for her actions. He challenges Aniruddha, asking why Arshi is being punished when she's done nothing wrong. Aniruddha admits that he loves Jhanak. Arshi responds that she will remain cordial if that's what he wants, but Aniruddha apologises and leaves the room.

Laal tells Tanuja that Aniruddha will likely go searching for Jhanak again. Bipasha insists that they need to uncover the full truth. The next day, Aditya warns Aniruddha that Jhanak may not be safe in Kolkata either, as Kul Bhushan may change his decision after the marriage. Aniruddha insists that Jhanak has the right to fight for herself. Jhanak overhears this conversation.
