Jhanak: Ketki’s decision to throw Jhanak out is changed after the groom's unexpected admiration for Priyanshi

Tonight's Jhanak episode starts with the host announcing the first group performance, followed by a special solo act. Once the group performance concludes, the host calls Priyanshi to the stage. Before she steps forward, Jhanak wishes her the best. Priyanshi expresses her gratitude, assuring Jhanak that she will always remember her, and then heads to the stage. She delivers an impressive dance performance, earning applause from the audience. The teacher informs Jhanak that all students must remain there until the results are declared.

Meanwhile, at home, Ketki inquires about Jhanak's whereabouts. Sejal mentions that she hasn't seen her. Prachi clarifies that Jhanak went to help Priyanshi get ready. Ketki, looking displeased, tells Mehek that she had assigned that responsibility to her. Mehek explains that she was on the terrace watering the plants, so Jhanak stepped in to assist Priyanshi. Ketki emphasises that guests should be treated well and remarks that the prospective groom, despite being born in a village, now resides in Delhi, so he shouldn't perceive Priyanshi as a mere village girl.

Back at the school, Jhanak reminds Priyanshi that the results will be announced today, so they must wait. Priyanshi, feeling unsure, says she doesn't think she will qualify for the inter-school competition. Jhanak encourages her to stay positive, assuring her that she danced beautifully. However, Priyanshi grows anxious, fearing Ketki must be looking for her. Jhanak reassures her that Vihaan will handle everything.

At home, Ketki reprimands Sejal for not completing the task she assigned her. She sarcastically suggests that Sejal must have been sleeping. Sejal defends herself, stating that Jhanak hasn't stepped into the kitchen since morning. Prachi interjects, explaining that Jhanak has been busy helping Priyanshi prepare for the event. She also adds that Jhanak has been teaching Priyanshi how to conduct herself in front of guests. Ketki instructs Prachi to keep a close watch on Jhanak.

Vihaan steps in, reminding Ketki that Jhanak has fulfilled all the rituals. He expresses his confusion over why Ketki remains displeased with her. Despite his words, Ketki and Sejal head inside. Meanwhile, Prachi confides in Vihaan, expressing her concern over the situation. Vihaan assures her that Jhanak and Priyanshi will return soon. However, Prachi, feeling overwhelmed, says she can't handle the pressure any longer.

Back at the event, the host announces that Priyanshi has qualified for the inter-school competition. She is awarded a trophy, and the teacher introduces her to the judge. Priyanshi then introduces Jhanak to the judge as well. The judge advises Priyanshi to prioritise her studies and future career. The teacher reinforces this sentiment, reminding Priyanshi that she should not be thinking about marriage at this stage. Afterward, the judge is escorted away, and Jhanak and Priyanshi leave the venue.

Meanwhile, Pulkit's family arrives at Ketki's house. Ketki warmly introduces her family to them. Pulkit's mother inquires whether Priyanshi is ready. Babuji then asks if Priyanshi will relocate to the city with Pulkit after their marriage. Susheela clarifies that Priyanshi will stay in the village with them. She further asks if Priyanshi is familiar with household chores. Ketki confidently responds, stating that Priyanshi has been trained in all household duties, including kaushala work. Mohan then inquires about Priyanshi's education, and Babuji assures him that she is a bright student. Meanwhile, Vihaan questions Pulkit about his profession, and Pulkit responds. Bhavesh invites Pulkit's family to enjoy some snacks.

In another part of the house, Prachi confesses her growing worries to Mehek. Susheela, impatient, asks Ketki to call Priyanshi. Ketki discreetly instructs Prachi to fetch her. Prachi and Mehek head upstairs, searching for Priyanshi. At that moment, Sejal arrives and demands to know where Priyanshi is. Prachi assumes she must be in the house, but Sejal insists that Priyanshi likely went to school with Jhanak. She also points out that Jhanak is missing from the house. Sejal then accuses them of siding with Jhanak against Ketki and vows to expose her. She storms off determinedly.

Meanwhile, the priest warns that the auspicious time for the ceremony is running out. Susheela, growing suspicious, asks if Priyanshi isn't ready yet. Sejal returns and informs Ketki that Priyanshi is not at home—confirming that she went to school with Jhanak. Susheela is shocked, questioning how Ketki was unaware of this. Mohan sternly tells Ketki that such things are unacceptable in his household. Vihaan, already aware of the truth, remains silent. Prachi, panicking, tells Mehek that she fears being thrown out of the house and begins to cry. She continues to worry about Priyanshi's fate.

Vihaan tries to explain the situation to Pulkit's family, revealing that Priyanshi was attending a dance competition. However, Mohan declares that the marriage cannot proceed under these circumstances. Praveen Kumar, on the other hand, takes Jhanak's side, stating that she only helped Priyanshi achieve her dream, which should not be considered wrong.

Despite the growing tension, Ketki angrily declares that she will no longer tolerate Jhanak in her house. Pulkit, however, praises both Priyanshi and Jhanak for their determination. He informs his parents that he wants to meet Priyanshi before making any decisions.

At that moment, Jhanak arrives with Priyanshi. She immediately apologises to everyone and takes full responsibility for the situation. She then reveals that Priyanshi has qualified for the inter-school competition. Pulkit expresses his admiration for Priyanshi and confirms his interest in her. Mohan, however, insists that the marriage must not be delayed any further. Ketki, sensing that the situation is back under control, thanks everyone for their understanding.
