Jhanak: Another allegation against Jhanak, a new drama unfolds again

Tonight's Jhanak episode starts with Arundati reprimanding Mrinalini for leaving the house without informing her. In response, Mrinalini clarifies that she had informed Anjana about returning late. She questions Arundati, pointing out that Tanuja and Bipasha never seek permission before going out. Bipasha, feeling targeted, asks why Mrinalini is so fixated on her. Mrinalini explains that she just wants to ensure that the house rules apply equally to everyone. Arundati reminds her that when others entered the house as newlyweds, they also followed the rules. Meanwhile, Jhanak calls everyone for a meal. Mrinalini acknowledges Jhanak's caring nature and remarks that despite not being a part of the family, Jhanak always looks out for them.

During the gathering, Bipasha notices a pile of shopping bags and questions it. Mrinalini, unimpressed, asks if Bipasha has any issues. Bipasha expresses her confusion, wondering how Choton can afford such expenses. Ignoring the remark, Mrinalini presents an outfit for the Radha Mohan idol. Arundati, delighted by the gift, expresses that she had always wished for it. Choton then urges Tanuja to accept the other gifts. Mrinalini hands Anjana a table cover and an outfit for Bablu, which makes Anjana happy. Anjana then encourages Mrinalini to personally give the outfit to Bablu.

Mrinalini gifts a saree to Tanuja, who insists it was unnecessary but accepts it nonetheless. She then reveals that she has bought outfits for all the men in the house and even picked gifts for Mimi and Rumi. Seeing Mrinalini's thoughtful gestures, Arundati realises she scolded her unfairly. Mrinalini, in turn, asks Arundati to always trust her. She then surprises Bipasha with a saree, stating that she knows Bipasha loves sarees.

Bipasha, who initially thought she had been forgotten, thanks Mrinalini. Mrinalini then presents a gift to Jhanak, urging her to open it. Jhanak is thrilled to see the beautiful outfit and expresses her gratitude. Mrinalini explains that since this is the first family function after her marriage, she wanted to bring gifts for everyone. She hands Jhanak another outfit, explaining that Jhanak has limited clothing options, so she wanted her to have more choices.

Touched by the gesture, Jhanak remarks that she will always remember Mrinalini even after she leaves the house. Hearing this, Choton stops her from bringing up the topic of leaving. Mrinalini also asks Jhanak to inform her before making any such decision, emphasising that she considers Jhanak like her own daughter and would do anything for her. Overwhelmed, Jhanak hugs both Mrinalini and Choton. Mrinalini then shares that she also got an outfit for Arshi.

Later, Bipasha receives a phone call from an unknown number. She firmly tells the caller that they have dialed the wrong number and demands to know why they want to meet her. Threatening to report them to the police, she abruptly ends the call. Just then, Laal arrives and asks her what happened. She dismisses it as a wrong number issue, but Laal confesses that he, too, received a similar call. Bipasha warns him, explaining that an unknown person has been harassing her and her mother. She instructs him to delete the number and avoid answering calls from unknown sources. Laal suggests they block the number altogether.

As their conversation unfolds, Jhanak happens to witness the scene. Laal questions Bipasha about what the caller told her mother, to which she responds that she suspects it to be a scam. She assures Laal that she can handle the situation and that he need not worry. Noticing Jhanak nearby, Laal asks if she was eavesdropping. Jhanak clarifies that she had only come to deliver their clothes.

Meanwhile, Apu approaches Aniruddha and asks him to help her choose a saree for the upcoming Holi celebration. Aniruddha urges Apu to get ready, but Apu insists that Jimli and Aniruddha should also prepare for the event. However, Aniruddha refuses to attend. Kajol persuades him, reminding him that Apu is scheduled to perform at the event, and everyone should be there to support her. Apu, adamant, declares that she won't go unless Aniruddha accompanies her. Lalon also tries to convince Aniruddha, who eventually agrees. He then informs them that he has to report to a new job the next day, while Apu has a performance lined up. Apu, worried about going alone, says she needs company. Jimli volunteers to accompany her. Lalon, however, encourages Apu to learn to be independent. Apu then leaves to get ready.

Elsewhere, Bipasha accuses Jhanak of leaking their phone numbers. Taken aback, Jhanak questions why she would do such a thing. Laal demands the truth from Jhanak, who firmly denies any involvement. Bipasha, determined to prove her point, claims she will expose Jhanak's connection to the blackmailer. Jhanak remains unfazed and challenges Bipasha to provide evidence. She advises Bipasha to file a police complaint rather than throwing around baseless accusations, asserting that allegations alone won't establish the truth.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Mimi praises Jhanak, calling her the best dancer at the event. Meanwhile, Arshi and Jhanak compete in a dance face-off to determine who is the better performer.
