Jhanak hides behind the veil as she meets Aniruddha, but he senses something is amiss

Star Plus' Jhanak, starring Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja, shifts from a love triangle to a complex emotional drama. Jhanak agrees to pretend to be Vihaan's wife, stepping into his family while Aniruddha and Arshi's troubled marriage deepens. Arshi, pregnant with Aniruddha's child, struggles for his love and support. Meanwhile, Aniruddha remains emotionally connected to Jhanak. Vihaan, a compassionate doctor, rescues Jhanak and reveals his own secret—a tragic plane crash that killed his wife, leaving him to raise his son alone. As these lives intertwine, tensions and drama escalate.

In the upcoming episode of Jhanak, a dramatic twist awaits as Jhanak's encounter with Aniruddha takes an unexpected turn. Vihaan, who is close friends with Aniruddha, invites him to witness the Muh Dikhayi ceremony of his wife, unknowingly setting the stage for a tense meeting between Aniruddha and Jhanak. While Jhanak is troubled by the news that Aniruddha is coming, she decides to hide her identity behind a ghunghat during the ceremony. The tension heightens when Vihaan calls Aniruddha, urging him to meet Jhanak. Aniruddha, intrigued and eager, insists on having a conversation with his sister-in-law.

Jhanak, however, has her own reasons for hiding behind the veil. She does not want Aniruddha to recognise her, so she keeps herself covered. When Vivaan notices the ghunghat, he's puzzled and asks her about it. Jhanak reveals that her mother-in-law instructed her to keep the ghunghat in front of strangers, which she obediently follows. But there's a deeper reason for Jhanak's action—she doesn't want Aniruddha to know her true identity just yet.

Despite her efforts, Aniruddha starts to feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity in Jhanak's voice and words, which makes him more determined to figure out who she is. As the situation intensifies, Jhanak will finally have to face Aniruddha, and this encounter will set the stage for a significant turning point.
