Jhanak: Srishti criticises Jhanak's performance, demanding a fusion dance

In tonight's episode of Jhanak, the dance competition kicks off with each participant showcasing their talent, earning enthusiastic praise from the judges. Watching these impressive displays, Jhanak begins to feel insecure about her own skills.

Rudra announces that Jhanak is the next performer, and she is immediately struck by a wave of anxiety. He reminds her of the importance of this moment for her mother, which motivates Jhanak to rise, though she struggles to maintain her composure. Rudra notices her discomfort and checks if she's feeling unwell. After Jhanak reassures him, he wishes her good luck as she prepares to take the stage.

Rudra and Jhanak receive appreciation:

Once on stage, Jhanak delivers a remarkable performance that captivates even Aniruddha, who can't take his eyes off her, while Arshi observes Aniruddha's focused attention on Jhanak. Meanwhile, the opponents who had tampered with Jhanak's drink are anxiously waiting for the expected reaction, which has yet to occur.

Her dynamic and electrifying routine leaves everyone astonished, prompting the judges to rise from their seats in applause. The audience also expresses their delight at Jhanak's impressive display of talent. Rudra receives commendation for his efforts in highlighting Jhanak's abilities.

Jhanak collapses:

Despite the praise, Srishti criticises Jhanak's performance, claiming the song was too simple and that the background dancers and catchy tune were the real highlights. She challenges Jhanak to perform specific dance mudras, aiming to unsettle her. Jhanak meets this challenge with ease. Srishti then demands a semi-classical fusion dance, but Jhanak is struggling as she had earlier consumed a tainted drink. Aniruddha notices Jhanak's lack of energy and her struggle during the performance. As she dances, Jhanak loses her balance and collapses.

Meanwhile, Appu sneaks away from her family to attend a local event where Lalan is performing. Eager to see her friend, Appu reaches the venue and spots Lalan in the crowd. She calls out to Lalan, drawing attention and sparking curiosity about why Appu, despite her privileged background, is so fixated on Lalan. Lalan worries about potential backlash from the Bose family due to Appu's presence and urges her to return home. Appu, however, insists on staying with Lalan, becoming increasingly frustrated when Lalan insists she go back.
