Jhanak: Arshi and Aniruddha arrive at Vihaan's house for a dramatic encounter

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Prachi remarking Priyanshi will realise the cost one must pay to fulfill their dreams. Mehek reassures her, saying that Priyanshi's aspirations will be achieved, and even Pulkit will come to appreciate that he is marrying an intelligent girl.

Prachi wonders how to respond if Ketki inquires about Priyanshi's whereabouts. Mehek suggests they tell Ketki that Priyanshi is at home since she isn't allowed to leave. She further adds that if Jhanak were present with them, Ketki wouldn't even think about Priyanshi's absence. As the haldi ceremony is about to begin, Jhanak informs Prachi that she will join later, as she first needs to help Priyanshi escape.

Meanwhile, Priyanshi urges Jhanak to hurry, fearing they might run late. Mehek teasingly remarks that Priyanshi is eager to meet Pulkit, but Priyanshi clarifies that she is actually nervous about the competition. Prachi warns them that Sejal is aware of the competition and will definitely look for Priyanshi.

Jhanak advises Prachi to remain calm and not worry. She reminds Prachi that Priyanshi has ambitions, and Pulkit is willing to support her in achieving them, which should make Prachi happy. She further mentions that Sejal is content with her own life and expects everyone to follow the same path, which is unrealistic. Jhanak encourages Prachi to focus solely on Priyanshi's aspirations. She then tells Priyanshi to seek Prachi's blessings before leaving.

Priyanshi touches Prachi's feet, and Prachi, feeling emotional, admits that she was unable to do much for Priyanshi but would be truly happy if she succeeds in fulfilling her dreams. Jhanak assures them that they won't get caught. Before leaving, Prachi advises Priyanshi to be cautious and instructs Jhanak to use the back door. Jhanak and Priyanshi then slip away from the house.

Meanwhile, Ketki asks Sejal about the whereabouts of Prachi and Jhanak. Sejal points out that even Mehek is missing and speculates that since it's Priyanshi's competition today, they might be up to something. Just then, Prachi and Mehek come downstairs. Ketki questions them about Jhanak's absence. Prachi explains that Jhanak is busy making a rangoli, and Mehek praises Jhanak's rangoli skills. Shifting focus, Prachi announces the start of the haldi ceremony. The women begin dancing as the music starts playing.

On the other hand, Jhanak and Priyanshi step outside, both covering their faces with veils. Bhavesh recognises Jhanak and questions where they are heading. Thinking quickly, Jhanak lies that Ketki has assigned them some work. Satisfied, Bhavesh goes back inside. Priyanshi expresses her gratitude towards Jhanak, but Jhanak reminds her that Pulkit is supporting her dreams and deserves respect. Soon, Pulkit's car arrives. Jhanak wishes Priyanshi luck, and Priyanshi gets into the car while Jhanak heads back.

Inside, Sejal keenly observes Prachi's and Mehek's expressions and finds them suspicious. She then spots Jhanak and immediately questions her about Priyanshi's whereabouts. Jhanak feigns ignorance, claiming she hasn't seen Priyanshi and that she must be in her room.

Ketki, noticing Jhanak's delayed return, scolds her for being late and instructs her to bring sweets.

Meanwhile, Vihaan arrives at the airport to receive Aniruddha and Arshi. Arshi curiously asks about Vihaan's wife, to which he responds that she is preoccupied with the wedding functions. They then proceed to Vihaan's house, where he informs them about the ongoing haldi ceremony.
