Jhanak: Tejas shares the news of Jhanak's death with Srishti

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Jhanak explaining to Aditya that she has never been indifferent towards Aniruddha, but she feels that Arshi is being neglectful. Aditya, while expressing his emotions, only wishes for Jhanak's happiness. Jhanak assures him that once Aniruddha recovers, she will leave him for good. The director arrives to guide them through the scenes for their movie.

Meanwhile, at home, Bipasha and Tanuja have a secretive conversation, which is interrupted by Arshi. Together, they laugh at Jhanak's scenes from the shoot. Jhanak follows the director's instructions and acts in a scene where her husband, having returned after a long absence, embraces her and gifts her a valuable necklace. When the director calls "cut," he praises Jhanak and Aditya for their performances. Internally, Jhanak feels embarrassed for having envisioned Aniruddha while acting alongside Aditya.

Bipasha urges Arshi and Srishti to reveal their plans for Jhanak, but they remain secretive, refusing to trust her. Arshi cryptically remarks that her mother will ensure Jhanak pays for crossing them. Meanwhile, Tejas instructs a member of the film crew to bring Jhanak to him. The man approaches Jhanak, lying about Aniruddha being in an accident. Distressed, Jhanak drops a glass of water. Arshi warns Bipasha to stay silent about their private discussions.

Back at the set, everyone becomes concerned for Jhanak's well-being. Aditya explains to the director that she must return home immediately. Tejas's informant drives Jhanak away, but as soon as she gets in the car, she grows suspicious of Tejas's voice. Before she can react, the informant injects her with a substance, causing her to lose consciousness.

Later, when Aditya attempts to contact Jhanak after finishing his shoot, Tejas destroys her phone's SIM card to prevent anyone from reaching her. Tejas and his accomplice then dump the car, with Jhanak inside, into a river. Afterwards, Tejas calls Shristi to inform her of the deed. Shristi, overjoyed by the news, promises to reward him for his actions.

Thrilled by the development, Shristi offers to reward him, but Tejas demands a large plot of land in Kashmir threatening to harm Arshi. Though initially alarmed by Tejas's request, Shristi manages to keep control of the situation.

Shristi later visits the Bose household, proposing to sponsor the Durga Puja celebrations. While the family's grandmother is reluctant to let Shristi cover all the costs, Shristi eventually agrees to fund the first day of the festival, following Tanuja and Bipasha's suggestions.

Bipasha and Arshi, elated by the recent developments, can hardly contain their excitement. Arshi is invited to stay with the family for a few days to bond with them further. Meanwhile, the Bose family eagerly anticipates Aniruddha's recovery. Shristi, pretending to be unaware of Jhanak's disappearance, questions Anjana about her whereabouts to avoid raising suspicion. As everyone discusses Jhanak, the conversation turns to how she manipulated Aniruddha to re-enter their lives.

Upon hearing from Aditya that Jhanak left the set after receiving troubling news about him, both Aditya and Aniruddha grow anxious and start searching for her. Aditya is questioned about her whereabouts but claims ignorance. Aniruddha, determined to find Jhanak, tries to leave the house but is restrained by his parents and wife, who insist he stay put. This only makes Aniruddha more irritable and confrontational.
