Jhanak: Arshi questions Jhanak about her new saree unaware about Anirudh gifting it to her

The episode opens with Shubh and the family returning home. Shubh and Tanuja express their displeasure with Anjana and Chotan, criticizing them and insulting Jhanak. Bipasha suggests they should have witnessed Arshi's performance, hinting that Jhanak may be competing with her for a trophy. Anirudh instructs Arshi to finalize her clothing choices, leading to a playful banter about the expenses involved. Despite the cost, Anirudh insists on buying a red Banarasi saree for Arshi, emphasizing that her happiness is paramount.

Anirudh, while finalizing the purchase, realizes that he hasn't bought anything for Appu. Arshi mentions having chosen a dress for Appu, triggering Anirudh's recollection of Jhanak. Troubled by the thought that Arshi might feel neglected, he decides to buy a saree for Jhanak, despite the emotional tension.

Back at home, Shubh and Tanuja reprimand Appu, distinguishing between family members and outsiders. Anirudh goes to buy a saree for Jhanak and, at Arshi's suggestion, plans to twin with her in a red kurta during the puja. However, he grapples with conflicting emotions, wondering if his actions are right. He makes the payment for Jhanak's saree and returns home, hoping the family will appreciate his choices.

Anirudh reveals his purchases to the family, but the atmosphere becomes tense when the bill amount is disclosed – 140,000. Tanuja questions his spending, but Anirudh defends his decision, stating that his salary allows for such expenses. Appu raises concern about Jhanak not receiving a gift, leading to a heated exchange. Jhanak silently observes the situation.
