Jhanak: Tejas threatens Jhanak, Jhanak packs her bag and leaves Anirudh's house

The episode begins with Arshi suggesting that Jhanak wear the same saree she wore on her wedding day when she ran away, as it would be fitting for the occasion. Bipasha and others assist in getting Jhanak ready. During the preparations, Arshi questions Jhanak about why she came with Anirudh and expresses suspicion that she is hiding something. Bipasha also notices Jhanak's reluctance to share information.

Dadi and Appu arrive, and Dadi announces the presence of the priest. Appu playfully kisses Jhanak and applies a black dot on her. Dadi instructs Arshi to apply sandalwood paste to Jhanak and urges Rumi and Mimi to fetch imitation jewelry for her. Jhanak declines, but Mimi insists, suggesting it's essential for photographic evidence of her marriage.

Tension builds as Dadi questions Jhanak about her reluctance to wear jewelry and the secrecy surrounding her husband. Arshi presses Jhanak for details, but she remains evasive, stating they are ordinary people. Despite Arshi's insistence, Jhanak refuses to reveal her husband's name. Appu admires Jhanak's beauty, but Bipasha scolds her. Eventually, they all leave for the ritual.

At the ceremony, Chotan compliments Jhanak's appearance, and Dadi instructs the priest to begin. Pandit asks for Jhanak's husband, and Dadi urges her to call him. Anxious, Jhanak complies, while Anirudh, concerned for her safety, uses a voice-changing app to speak with her. The family insists on a video call, but Anirudh hesitates to reveal his face due to perceived threats to his life.

As Anirudh chants the mantras, the family questions him about his identity and reasons for hiding. Anirudh expresses concern for his safety and refuses to disclose his name. Pandit continues with the ritual, and Shrishti arrives during the proceedings. Anirudh assures Jhanak he will take her when the time is right and emphasizes that he is doing this to protect her. 

PRECAP: Jhanak firmly states, "I'd rather die than be with you." Tejas insists that she must be with him. Anirudh arrives to comfort Jhanak, assuring her not to stress. She expresses her concern about Tejas having pictures from a troubling night. Faced with the dilemma, Jhanak decides to leave the house.
