Jhanak: The Boses create problems after seeing Jhanak and Aniruddha together

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Aniruddha attempting to speak with Jhanak, but she refuses to engage in conversation. She tells him that if the family sees them together, they will misunderstand her. Aniruddha insists that she must attend Choton's wedding no matter what. He advises her not to let others influence her decision. Jhanak, in response, questions his statement, to which he clarifies that she shouldn't avoid the wedding for anyone else's sake. She agrees to attend but adds that she will do so only if Arshi is comfortable with it. Meanwhile, Laal and Bipasha notice them. Bipasha captures a picture and confronts them, questioning their actions. Aniruddha asserts that he was merely talking to Jhanak and sees nothing wrong with it. Jhanak, however, walks away and goes inside.

Elsewhere, Choton presents gifts to Mrinalini, leaving her surprised. She asks him about the reason behind it, and he expresses his desire to prove his worth, as many people consider him incapable. Mrinalini appreciates his efforts but questions why he is spending so much money. She admits she is happy but advises him to be more responsible. As he turns to leave, she stops him, reminding him that they are getting married and need to save money for the future. Choton then shows her a gift chosen by Jhanak, which Mrinalini finds beautiful. He then shares his concerns about Jhanak's unfair treatment at home, lamenting how no one stands up for her. At that moment, Mrinalini's father arrives, and Choton gifts him a pen. Seeing the pen, Mrinalini's father becomes emotional, recalling that his own father had once gifted him the same pen, but he had lost it.

Meanwhile, Apu tearfully shares everything with Anuradha. Concerned, Anuradha questions why the doctor made such a statement. Kajol reassures her, explaining that it's just part of the treatment. However, Apu refuses to visit the hospital. Lalon insists that she must go, but Apu gets upset and refuses to talk to him. Changing the subject, Lalon asks Anuradha about Jimli. She informs him that Jimli has gone to college to apply for her exams, adding that she believes Anindo has encouraged her to complete her graduation.

Lalon then inquires about the builder, and Anuradha responds that he hasn't come yet. She admits she feels uneasy about keeping the money at home. Lalon reassures her, saying their locality is safe, but she urges him to call the builder anyway. Lalon offers to visit the builder himself, but Apu protests, insisting that he shouldn't go. Just then, the builder arrives. Apu immediately warns him not to run away with their money. Lalon asks Anuradha to give the money, but as she opens the cupboard, she is shocked to find the bag empty. Panicked, she informs Lalon that the money is missing. They search the entire room but fail to locate it. Distressed, Anuradha breaks down in tears. The builder, seeing the situation, tells Lalon that he will return in the evening and leaves. Lalon then instructs Kajol to call Jimli, but Kajol informs him that Jimli is not answering her phone.

Meanwhile, Tanuja confronts Jhanak, showing her the photo of her and Aniruddha together. She demands to know what they were discussing. Jhanak, instead of answering, tells her to ask Aniruddha directly. Bipasha interjects, accusing Jhanak of becoming overconfident due to the support she receives from certain people in the house. She warns Jhanak not to overstep her boundaries. Tanuja sternly instructs Jhanak to stay away from Aniruddha and let him and Arshi be happy together. Jhanak, unfazed, states that she has no interest in interfering in their relationship.

Meanwhile, Vihaan informs Ketki that he is travelling to Kolkata to meet Aniruddha. He shares news of Choton's upcoming wedding. Prachi encourages him to enjoy the occasion. Ketki, in turn, advises him to take a gift for Choton. Vihaan then reveals that Jhanak is also in Kolkata. Curious, Prachi asks about his intentions. Vihaan responds that he plans to request Jhanak to return with him. He firmly states that Ahaan needs her presence. Determined, he declares that if Jhanak agrees, he will bring her back. He then asks Ketki to promise that she will not create any problems for Jhanak. After some hesitation, Ketki replies that she will consider it.

Back at home, Tanuja again questions Jhanak about her conversation with Aniruddha. Jhanak calmly explains that it was Aniruddha who approached her. Bipasha accuses Jhanak of lying, but Tanuja worries that Arshi will be upset if she finds out about Jhanak and Aniruddha speaking to each other. She stresses that she does not want Arshi to experience any distress. Jhanak reassures her that she has no intention of interfering in their relationship. However, Bipasha urges Tanuja not to trust Jhanak. Tanuja, having made her point, leaves. Bipasha then warns Jhanak that she will continue to keep a close watch on her. Jhanak, undeterred, tells her to do whatever she pleases. After Bipasha leaves, Jhanak wonders how much longer she will have to endure such scrutiny and hostility.
