Jhanak: Jhanak tells Anirudh that the sindoor and saree do not hold any significance for her

The episode commences with Appu presenting a gift to Jhanak, emphasizing that Anirudh did not bring anything for her. Arshi intervenes to halt Jhanak, who appears anxious as she contemplates what to reveal. Tanuja and the others inquire about the origin of the bridal saree. Appu then reveals a sindoor box, prompting further questioning. Shrishti arrives and engages in conversation, expressing regret for being late and inquiring about the puja. Dadi fills her in on the events, and Shrishti becomes curious.

Vinayak suggests that Jhanak showcase the new saree she purchased, but Arshi interrupts, leading to a heated argument. Appu and Anirudh attempt to intervene, with Anirudh suggesting that it's Jhanak's personal matter, possibly related to her shopping in Kashmir. Shrishti questions the affordability of such purchases, and Jhanak claims the items are hers. Shubh asks about the source, and Bipasha suggests that Tejas gave them. Shrishti doubts this explanation, and Arshi urges Jhanak to provide a clear answer.

Jhanak discloses that the items belonged to her late mother, expressing their sentimental value. Anirudh attempts to diffuse the situation, defending Jhanak's right to privacy. However, Arshi insists on clarity, questioning the presence of bridal symbols when Jhanak is unmarried. Tanuja supports the inquiry, leading to tensions rising. Vinayak proposes that Jhanak be sent to their house, but Anirudh firmly opposes, stating that he brought her there and she should stay. Shrishti continues to press Anirudh, accusing Urvashi and insulting her.

Jhanak, unable to endure the insults, confronts Shrishti, highlighting her loneliness and expressing frustration over the constant negativity towards her deceased mother. Anirudh supports Jhanak, asserting that she shouldn't be blamed for Urvashi's past. Shrishti persists in her questioning, but Jhanak stands firm, stating that the items were from her mother's belongings. Anirudh, troubled by the escalating situation, intervenes.

Dadi attempts to mediate, but Shrishti remains relentless. Anirudh defends Jhanak's right to keep certain matters private, emphasizing the lack of proof regarding Urvashi's past. Shrishti's accusations intensify, and Jhanak, feeling cornered, offers to leave. Dadi and Anirudh try to prevent her departure, but she insists on accepting whatever decision they make.
