Jhanak talks about her departure as Vihaan reflects on his growing feelings for her

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Arshi questioning Aniruddha about his time with Vihaan's family and inquiring about Vihaan's wife. When Aniruddha hesitates to respond, Arshi presses him to show pictures he took during his visit, but he reveals he didn't capture any. She jokes about wanting to compare her beauty with Vihaan's wife. Aniruddha is surprised by her concern over such matters and reassures her that she is beautiful and talented, advising her not to focus on these things. Arshi insists she simply wanted to know what Vihaan's wife looks like and whether she is friendly. Aniruddha shares that they didn't interact much, offering little detail.

Arshi asks about Vihaan's son, Ahaan, and Aniruddha mentions that Vihaan's family invited them to Ahaan's birthday celebration. She suggests they attend if she feels well enough, but he insists they should wait for her test results first. The conversation shifts to Choton's marriage discussions, with Arshi expressing concern for her health. She asks Aniruddha for Vihaan's wife's name, and he tells her it's Avni. He also shares some details about what Ketki's daughters-in-law are involved in, leaving Arshi surprised by how active a seemingly bored girl is. She expresses interest in visiting the village next time.

Meanwhile, Meenu contacts the doctor about her father's condition. The doctor advises her to bring him to the hospital right away, causing Meenu to worry about how to manage the situation. Unable to reach Choton, she calls Anjana to update her. Anjana assures her she will inform Choton.

Jhanak, concerned for Priyanshi's future, confides in Vihaan. She shares her own experiences of struggle as a girl, emphasising how well she understands Priyanshi. Vihaan, however, insists that no one in his house, especially Ketki, would go against her wishes. He tells Jhanak that although he respects what she's doing for Priyanshi, he is unable to take a stand against Ketki directly. Jhanak counters that as an outsider, she is free to fight for Priyanshi, urging Vihaan to take responsibility for his role.

Vihaan admits he needs more time and that Ketki has recently forgiven him, so challenging her is difficult. Jhanak reassures him not to worry about her, mentioning she has a place to stay and will leave when the time comes. Vihaan offers to support her if she decides to leave, although he internally grapples with growing feelings for Jhanak.

Later, Anjana and Choton arrive at Meenu's house with the doctor, who treats Meenu's father and reassures them. Anjana encourages Meenu to share the news with her family, but Meenu's father insists on paying the doctor's fees despite Choton's offer. The doctor declines payment, complimenting Meenu for being a good person and suggesting her life will improve if she marries Choton. After the doctor leaves, Choton goes to fetch medicine, and Meenu's father expresses his displeasure at Choton's involvement. Anjana, however, tells him they came to help, not to be criticised.

Meanwhile, Jhanak is still worried about Priyanshi's dance performance, where the groom's family is expected to attend later. She tells Vihaan that the performance will take place in the morning, and the groom's family will arrive in the evening. She plans to take Priyanshi to school secretly, and Vihaan agrees to help. Jhanak thanks him, feeling relieved.

Aniruddha calls Vihaan to update him on Arshi's health complications. Vihaan asks him to send the test results and assures him that if necessary, he and his wife will come to Kolkata. Jhanak overhears and wonders when her own test results will arrive. Vihaan tells Aniruddha to discuss the report with his wife, handing the phone to Jhanak. Jhanak advises Aniruddha to consult with Vihaan, who she believes is an excellent doctor.

Back at Meenu's house, Choton suggests her father follow the doctor's advice and get some rest. He offers to take Meenu's father for a morning walk, and Meenu, frustrated, admits her father never listens to her. Choton assures her that he will handle it and heads off with Meenu's father.

In the final moments, Vihaan reflects on the possibility of one day finding the courage to oppose Ketki, inspired by Jhanak's strength.
