Jhanak: Arshi finds a picture of Anirudh & Jhanak, lashes out at the two of them

The episode begins with Anirudh saying he needs to go to work. Jhanak insists he eats before leaving, and he agrees. Jhanak expresses her discomfort about being involved in another lie. Meanwhile, Arshi and her friends are heading somewhere, and they ask her to treat them. Arshi suggests a nearby restaurant with great food, and Anirudh ends up paying the bill. After their meal, Anirudh and Jhanak accidentally leave an envelope with a picture behind. Arshi later finds it and is shocked to see Jhanak and Anirudh in the photo. Anirudh asks Jhanak about the photo, and she admits she forgot it. Anirudh assures her they'll go back for it to avoid any trouble. Back at home, Anirudh asks Jhanak to carry the bags and not talk to anyone. Jhanak expresses her confusion about Anirudh's behavior, and he tells her to come along without explaining. In simpler terms, Anirudh and Jhanak go out to eat but forget a photo at the restaurant, which causes some tension when it's discovered later.

Anirudh and Jhanak's lies:

Tanuja asks why you're so late. He responds, "The manager was delayed, and I had to wait for him to finish someone else's work." Bipasha questions why he went, to which he explains that he didn't want to waste money. He mentions that Jhanak needed clothes for a party and he thought Mamu's family might also attend, so he gave her a small loan to buy clothes. He assures that she will repay him once her account is activated. Lal comments on his shopping, and Anjana advises him to eat. However, he declines, saying he's already running late and won't help anyone. He requests fruit juice from Anjana. Tanuja instructs Jhanak to help the servants, while Jhanak explains that Anirudh took her out against her will. Bipasha tells her to stay quiet, but Jhanak argues back.

Arshi exposes Anirudh and Jhanak:

Anjana insists that Jhanak should eat. Tanuja instructs Jhanak to do her work properly and tells Anjana not to worry about Jhanak. Anjana suggests that Jhanak might be hungry, but Jhanak denies it. Anirudh also feels not hungry. Bipasha urges him to eat, but he prefers juice. Jhanak assures she will finish her work first and eat later. Appu excitedly welcomes Jhanak and asks what she got for her. Tanuja comments on Jhanak's love for Appu despite not buying anything for her. Jhanak explains that she took a loan from Anirudh and promises to buy Appu's favorite things once she repays him. Anjana smiles and emphasizes the loving relationship between Jhanak and Appu as friends. Tanuja then tells Jhanak to go and do her work.

Arshi arrives home and questions Jhanak about her whereabouts and why she's dressed up. Bipasha explains that Jhanak went with Anirudh to open a bank account and they just returned. Anirudh senses something wrong as Arshi appears angry. Bipasha informs Arshi that Jhanak received 7 lakhs and went shopping. Arshi interrogates Jhanak about their activities. Anirudh suggests they go out for dinner to discuss it further. Tanuja reveals that Jhanak wanted new clothes for Arshi's marriage and could afford them with her money. Arshi continues to question them, and Anirudh explains they went shopping as Jhanak's sister was getting married. Jhanak contradicts his statement, saying she didn't want to go shopping, but Anirudh insisted and even lent her money for clothes to avoid embarrassment in front of guests. Arshi presses for more information, and Anirudh admits they also went to the bank. Arshi then shows everyone the picture they found, leaving them all shocked.

Arshi threatens to cancel the marriage:

Arshi points to the picture, showing both the bank and shopping trips. Tanuja turns to Anirudh for an explanation. Anirudh suggests that Jhanak can explain she already ate elsewhere and didn't eat at the restaurant. Arshi questions the need for taking a picture, to which Anirudh explains it was an awkward situation, and they were insisted upon. Arshi expresses her frustration, stating that the situation has gone too far and suggests canceling the marriage. This causes worry among everyone, and Arshi and Anirudh engage in an argument. Anirudh defends himself, fabricating a story and claiming he forgot about the picture. Arshi questions how she got the picture, to which Anirudh responds that it's not important to him and he left it there. Bipasha chimes in, saying the shopping and restaurant trip weren't necessary, leading Anirudh to express frustration that nobody understands him and Arshi should trust him instead of doubting him. Meanwhile, Jhanak silently realizes she forgot the picture and Anirudh didn't, concluding that she won't take the blame for someone else's mistake.

PRECAP:

 Arshi and Anirudh are seen dancing at a party. Tejas arrives, suggesting they watch Kashmiri songs videos for fun. However, everyone is shocked when Anirudh and Jhanak's wedding video is unexpectedly played, leading to the cancellation of the marriage and Arshi breaking down in tears.
