Jhanak: Brij Bhushan reveals Vinayak's support in recording Srishti's confession

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Aniruddha dropping Jhanak and Brij Bhushan at their home. Brij Bhushan invites Aniruddha to come inside. Jhanak questions why, but Brij Bhushan insists that there is a reason and assures that nothing will harm his daughter. He asks Jhanak to prepare tea for them. He then tells Aniruddha that Jhanak is struggling emotionally, which is why she is acting distant. Aniruddha reassures Brij Bhushan that he will continue supporting Jhanak no matter what. Brij Bhushan smiles, and they proceed inside.

Meanwhile, Lalon returns home. Anuradha notices his gloomy expression and inquires about it. Lalon reveals that the contractor has absconded with the money they had received from customers.

Back at Brij Bhushan's house, he expresses to Aniruddha his trust in him, acknowledging that as a father, he had failed to do enough for Jhanak. He says Jhanak has suffered a great deal. Brij Bhushan, aware of his own uncertain future, requests that Aniruddha always stand by Jhanak even after his death.

Jhanak enters and scolds her father for speaking in such a way. She urges him to stop talking about the death and suggests they leave the city and drop the case. Brij Bhushan tells her he would have no regrets, even if death comes, as he has had the chance to meet her and spend time with her. Jhanak, frustrated, tells him that she found him after so many years and cannot bear his constant talk of such things.

Brij Bhushan then tells Aniruddha that he will never ask him to marry Jhanak. He believes that if they did marry, they would be happy, but that will not happen. He says they can remain friends forever. Aniruddha reassures him, saying Jhanak's life is just beginning, and promises to never leave her side.

Jhanak, on the other hand, firmly declares that she will not tolerate any further insults. She says the truth has come out, and now she waits for the consequences. Brij Bhushan expresses concern, saying Srishti will never accept Jhanak as her daughter. Jhanak, however, tells him not to bring up the matter again.

Aniruddha asks how Brij Bhushan managed to record Srishti's confession. Brij Bhushan reveals that it was Vinayak's help that made it possible. Jhanak warns her father not to trust anyone, especially married men. She says she won't accept Aniruddha's help. Brij Bhushan reassures her that he trusts Aniruddha. Aniruddha declares that he loves Jhanak, and she loves him, even if she refuses to acknowledge it. He asserts that no one will separate them.

Jhanak tells him it's too late and urges him to go home. But Aniruddha insists on staying by her side. After taking Brij Bhushan's blessings, he leaves.

Elsewhere, Arundhati tells Shubu that she cannot believe Aniruddha has turned against them. Laal adds that even family members are supporting Aniruddha now. Anjana points out that Aniruddha is no longer a child to be swayed by others. Bablu asks Anjana to stay calm, while Choton suggests they call Aniruddha and ask him directly. Tanuja reminds them that they had all supported Aniruddha during the Jhanak issue. Choton counters, saying that his support for Jhanak is separate from Aniruddha's. Shubu asserts that if this continues, he will legally sever all ties with Aniruddha.

Aniruddha arrives and asks why he shouldn't take this step. Arundhati pleads with him to stop. Aniruddha accuses Shubu of being upset because he is supporting the truth. He reveals that Shubu had bribed Kavita to present false testimony. He then tells Arshi that the insults she's facing are due to Srishti's actions.

Arshi counters that nothing has been proven yet. Arundhati asks Aniruddha to calm down and eat, but Shubu refuses to eat with him.

Anjana urges everyone to stop arguing and just eat. Shubu accuses her of provoking Aniruddha against him, but Anjana refutes the claim. She points out that Bablu and Choton are earning and can take care of her. Tanuja taunts Choton, accusing him of trapping a working woman. Choton tells her not to drag Mrinalini into this. Arundhati tells everyone to stop the bickering.

Arshi asks Aniruddha whether he still wants to stay with her. He responds that if she wants to stay with him, she must change.
