Jhanak: Arshi decides to leave the house due to Jhanak's growing influence

In tonight's Jhanak episode, Anuradha arrives at the Bose household with the intention of resolving the marital issues between Lalan and Appu. Her mother, deeply distressed, reflects on her struggles to raise her son. While Appu's grandfather is in favour of the marriage, her grandmother firmly opposes it. The elders of the Bose family, including Shubha and Tanuja, express their disapproval, leaving both Chhoton and Appu heartbroken. Lalan and his mother face humiliation from the Bose family elders, and Anuradha, feeling insulted, shares her own painful past. She recounts how her family, once prosperous, was devastated by a betrayal from Lalan's father's business partner, leading to their downfall. Shubho is visibly affected by her account.

Meanwhile, Aniruddha arrives and learns of the elders' decision to cancel Appu's marriage, which was meant to take place in the Bose house. Furious at the disregard for his sister's wishes, Aniruddha refuses to overlook the situation. Lalan and his mother, feeling slighted, decline an offer for tea and prepare to leave.

Despite the opposition from many family members, Jhanak surprisingly predicts that the marriage will proceed in the Bose home. Arshi, wary of Jhanak's confidence, warns her about her cleverness. Tanuja and Subho are taken aback by Jhanak's boldness. Jhanak emphasizes the importance of Appu's happiness. Unable to tolerate Jhanak's assertiveness, Arshi becomes increasingly frustrated. Jhanak stands her ground and protests when challenged. As Lalan and his mother are about to depart, they request that Appu's parents set a new wedding date and inform them, promising to arrive together.

Following Lalan's departure, Arshi feels dejected by Jhanak's rising influence and decides to return to Shristi's home. Aniruddha chooses to accompany her. Jhanak assures Aniruddha that she will leave the house only after Appu's wedding. She accuses Aniruddha of being shameless for denying the truth about her situation.

A heated argument erupts between Jhanak and Aniruddha. Aniruddha warns Jhanak that he will not acknowledge her child, insisting that he does not believe she could be the mother of his baby.
