Jhanak: Jhanak offers to be a nanny for Arshi and Aniruddha's baby

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Tanuja informing Srishti that Jhanak cannot continue staying at the Bose house. However, Choton firmly states that Jhanak will remain there. Tanuja insists that Arundati should be the one to decide. Arundati reminds Tanuja that Shubhankar is seeking forgiveness from Jhanak, and until he returns from court, no final decision can be made. She also tells Choton that Arshi has an equal right to the house, just like him and Aniruddha.

Meanwhile, Srishti approaches Jhanak, expressing her desire to talk. She tells Jhanak that she has come to apologise and claims that she has changed. Jhanak is taken aback by Srishti’s words.

Elsewhere, Jimli questions Lalon about not taking the full amount from Shubhankar. Lalon clarifies that he accepted all the money their father had given to Shubhankar. However, Jimli asks about the interest and reminds him that Shubhankar is responsible for their father's demise. She accuses Shubhankar of taking everything from them. Apu warns Lalon not to place his trust in Shubhankar.

Jimli further expresses her concern, saying that the Bose family will ruin Lalon's future, just like they did in the past. She casts a glance at Apu, making Lalon realise her implication. Jimli accuses Lalon of being blinded by love, but he warns her to stay out of his personal matters. At that moment, Laal arrives and tells Lalon that he needs to talk about his room.

He urges Lalon to put an end to the ongoing conflicts, stating that Arundati and Amitabh will not be able to handle it if they decide to leave the house. After Laal walks away, Apu questions whether he can be trusted. Lalon responds that Laal seemed genuine and confesses that the people he had spoken about earlier were merely decorators, and he had lied to Laal.

Back in the Bose house, Srishti tells Jhanak that her court verdict is approaching and she will soon be imprisoned. She pleads for forgiveness and expresses her desire to stay with Jhanak until her arrest. However, Jhanak questions Srishti's authority to ask for forgiveness, asserting that nothing will change even if she chooses to forgive her. Srishti insists that she is ashamed of her past actions and wants to make amends. However, Jhanak firmly states that Srishti holds no significance in her life and refuses to grant her forgiveness.

Srishti then tells Jhanak that she has a right to stay with her and requests that she spend a few days together. Arshi, however, disapproves and tells Srishti to cut ties with her if she intends to continue supporting Jhanak. Srishti argues that Arshi has everything she needs in life, whereas Jhanak has nothing, and she is determined to support her. Frustrated, Arshi tells Srishti to take Jhanak away immediately. Srishti then urges Jhanak to come home with her, promising to change her life.

Aniruddha refuses to trust Srishti's words. Choton insists that Jhanak will remain in the Bose house. Srishti counters that she is Jhanak's mother and, therefore, has the right to take her with her. Aniruddha, however, challenges this, stating that Srishti has not proven herself to be a good mother. Jhanak intervenes, declaring that her mother is Urvashi and she will never let anyone take Urvashi's place. Srishti acknowledges that gaining Jhanak's trust will not be easy, but she asks Jhanak to at least visit her if she chooses to stay at the Bose house.

Meenu arrives and embraces Jhanak, assuring her that she has done nothing wrong—she only placed her trust in the wrong people. Aniruddha reiterates that he cannot take the risk of allowing Jhanak to go with Srishti.

Meanwhile, Jimli meets her boyfriend and vents her frustration about fighting with her family over money. Her boyfriend reassures her that he does not want the money for himself but believes that she has a rightful claim to it. He pressures her to secure the money, arguing that she needs to maintain a certain standard in front of his family. Jimli reveals that her mother has called him to meet their family, but he refuses to bring his family to the Basti. Instead, he urges her to fight harder for her share. When Jimli asks why she should resort to stealing, he argues that the money rightfully belongs to her, adding that her family does not care about her happiness.

Later, Jhanak is seen cleaning Arshi's room and informs her that she will bring soup once she is done. Arshi takes the opportunity to taunt Jhanak, saying that she is pregnant because she and Aniruddha share a deep bond of love. She accuses Jhanak of staying in the house solely because of Aniruddha. Jhanak calmly responds that she does not need to see the person she loves every day and insists that she has no interest in Aniruddha. She even offers to be a nanny for the baby if Arshi wishes.

Arshi, however, lashes out at Jhanak. In response, Jhanak pleads with Arshi not to disrespect her feelings. She declares that she is willing to wait for her love, no matter how long it takes.
