Jhanak: Arshi OVERHEARS Anirudh's confession of love to Jhanak, VOWS to make sure she is PUNISHED

The episode begins with Anirudh visiting Jhanak at the police station, despite her earlier warning to stay away. Jhanak is puzzled by his return and asks what drove him to disregard her wishes. Anirudh responds by asking how she would have reacted if their situations were reversed. Jhanak admits she would have waited for the court's verdict, but Anirudh confesses that he's too distracted to focus on work. Jhanak mentions the possibility of being taken to court that day, prompting Anirudh to reassure her that the police commissioner will ensure her safety. He blames himself for her predicament, but Jhanak reminds him that she intervened to help Arshi, only to suffer the consequences.

Anirudh brings food for Jhanak, but she declines, and their conversation is interrupted by Arshi's arrival at the police station. Arshi inquires about the case and is informed that Jhanak will be taken to court. She questions whether the police commissioner's involvement will impact the outcome, but the inspector dismisses this possibility, confirming that Jhanak won't receive bail. Arshi requests to meet Jhanak, only to discover that Anirudh is already with her. Anirudh professes his love for Jhanak, disregarding societal judgment. However, Arshi overhears this declaration and confronts him, accusing him of betrayal. Jhanak attempts to diffuse the situation, urging them to resolve their personal issues at home. Arshi lashes out at Jhanak, holding her responsible for all her misfortunes. The inspector intervenes, reprimanding Arshi for her outburst. Jhanak insists that Anirudh leave, but he remains resolute in his support for her. Arshi vows to ensure Jhanak faces punishment.

Later, Anirudh returns home and is questioned by Shubh about his encounter with Arshi at the police station. Anirudh reveals the details, prompting Shubh to criticize him. Arshi furiously confronts Anirudh, accusing him of betrayal. Anirudh defends his actions, asserting that Arshi's mistreatment of Jhanak and her excessive legal actions necessitated his intervention. Arshi refuses to leave the house, while Anirudh declares that he will eventually walk away. Arshi later seeks comfort from Siddharth at his office, sharing her determination to move forward and regain her confidence. Siddharth encourages her to stay strong and, upon learning of her marital issues, advises her to consider divorce. He offers his support and suggests they remain friends.

Meanwhile, Jhanak is taken to court by the police. In the precap, Jhanak is shown being taken to jail, while Lalon warns Anirudh that they cannot visit her in jail. Arshi taunts Anirudh, claiming she will prevent him from reuniting with Jhanak.
