Jhanak: Arshi takes a decision on Jhanak's behalf, stops her from attending Chotton's wedding

Star Plus' Jhanak continues to captivate audiences with its gripping storyline centered around Jhanak, Aniruddha, and Arshi. After temporarily moving on from Aniruddha's life and staying with Vihaan, Jhanak's world is turned upside down by Arshi’s unexpected arrival, which forces her to flee—only to fall into the hands of human traffickers. Managing to escape, she eventually finds herself back at the Bose house, where she is left stunned by Srishti’s sudden change in behavior. Srishti pleads for forgiveness and requests Jhanak to stay with her until the court's verdict, but Jhanak remains unmoved. Meanwhile, Arshi continues to treat Jhanak as a mere servant, making her carry out household duties against her will.

In the upcoming episode of Jhanak, tensions rise as discussions about Mrunalini and Chotton’s wedding take an unexpected turn. Amid the preparations, Aniruddha faces a pointed question—will he be celebrating in the baraat while leaving his pregnant wife behind? Before he can respond, Arshi confidently states that it won’t be an issue since Jhanak will be there to take care of her, leaving everyone stunned.

Surprised by Arshi’s sudden reliance on Jhanak, Aniruddha questions when she started depending on her so much. Arshi justifies her stance, explaining that she doesn’t want to take any risks. However, Chotton steps in, asserting that since it is his wedding, he will decide how things unfold. Firmly, he insists on Jhanak’s presence at the ceremony. This doesn’t sit well with Arshi, who challenges his authority over the decision. In response, Chotton reminds her that she has always taken whatever she wanted, but this time, things won’t go according to her wishes.

As the argument escalates, Jhanak, who has been silently listening, finally speaks up. She makes it clear that she has been patiently hearing everyone out, but ultimately, she will decide for herself. If she finds it important to attend Chotton’s wedding, no one will be able to stop her.
