Jhanak: Brij insults Jhanak and calls her a zero, Jhanak is devastated

The episode opens with Brij teaching dance moves to Jhanak. Arshi arrives and spots Anirudh, surprising him. Anirudh explains that he came to invite Brij for an event, but Arshi expresses disappointment that they didn't come together. Anirudh, worried about Jhanak's presence, tries to prevent Arshi from seeing her, fearing it might spoil his plans.

Jhanak, dancing under Brij's guidance, admires his talent but refuses to consider him her Guru ji. Anirudh, feeling the need to confess something to Arshi, suggests going out to eat. Arshi agrees, but Anirudh is preoccupied with the ongoing dance class. Brij, recognizing Jhanak's talent, struggles with his inner conflict, unable to accept her due to societal prejudices.

Anirudh persuades Arshi to take a break, even though she prefers exclusive places like 5-star hotels. He insists on going to a different place for a change, emphasizing his need for a break. Arshi questions his divided attention and the lack of quality time in their relationship. Anirudh proposes going out alone, but Arshi eventually agrees to accompany him.

Meanwhile, Brij confronts Jhanak, expressing disdain for her mother and claiming she was a curse. Anirudh, in a lie, tells Arshi that he was thinking about Guru ji's availability for her rehearsals. Arshi shares her expectations for the upcoming event, and Anirudh assures her that he has invited Guru ji, along with a surprise artist.

Brij continues to belittle Jhanak, stating she is using Anirudh for success. Jhanak, defiant, asserts that she performed for Anirudh's promise, but she will never return. Anirudh, secretly calling Chotan, instructs him to get Jhanak out and update him. Chotan agrees.

Anirudh takes Arshi to a café, apologizing for his distracted behavior. They discuss the upcoming event and a party where Arshi received expensive gifts from Anirudh's parents. Back at the dance studio, Brij warns Jhanak to stay away from Anirudh, claiming she is nothing and zero. Jhanak, hurt, leaves.
