Jhanak: Vihaan learns of Jhanak's marriage to Aniruddha, who calls it a sham

Tonight's Jhanak episode begins with Arshi informing Vihaan that Jhanak is in love with Aniruddha and that Aniruddha has always had feelings for Jhanak, too. She asks Vihaan if Aniruddha ever mentioned that he married Jhanak in a temple. Vihaan is taken aback by this revelation.

Meanwhile, Aniruddha reminisces about his marriage with Jhanak. He later tells Vihaan that Arshi isn't telling the full story and that he will explain why the marriage happened. He clarifies that he only married Jhanak to save her life and that it was a sham.

Vihaan asks why Aniruddha hadn't told him this sooner. Aniruddha explains that he only learned about Vihaan and Jhanak's marriage after arriving, which is why he didn't mention the past earlier. He also tells Vihaan that Arshi is Jhanak's sister. Arshi, however, denies Jhanak as her sister and badmouths her and Urvashi. Aniruddha reassures Vihaan, telling him that he did nothing wrong by marrying Jhanak and that she wouldn't hurt anyone. He then apologises to Vihaan on Arshi's behalf, admitting he didn't anticipate her reaction to Jhanak's presence.

Elsewhere, Sejal informs Ketki that Priyanshi is missing. Ketki is alarmed and questions Jhanak about Priyanshi's whereabouts. She expresses concern since Priyanshi's wedding is the next day, but she's nowhere to be found. Prachi expresses her disappointment in Jhanak, feeling that she had been wrong to trust her. Mehek mocks Prachi, but Ketki intervenes, telling her to stay quiet. Ketki then accuses Jhanak of betrayal, demanding to know where Priyanshi is. She reminds Jhanak that it's supposed to be Priyanshi's haldi ceremony today, but she is missing.

Jhanak assures Ketki that Priyanshi will come back. When Ketki asks where Priyanshi went, Jhanak calmly responds that she will return and assures the family that nothing wrong has been done. Ketki then asks Jhanak when she married Vihaan. Jhanak tells her to ask Vihaan about that.

Arshi presses Vihaan, demanding to see proof of his marriage to Jhanak, suggesting he marry Jhanak if he truly loves her. She insists on knowing whether Vihaan married Jhanak or not.

Prachi, in response to Arshi's claims that Jhanak never went to America, says they can't allow anyone to disrupt the household rules. Mehek tells Prachi to stop making such comments. Sejal urges Jhanak to tell the truth, but Jhanak insists that Priyanshi is with Pulkit and will be back soon. Mehek explains to Ketki that Priyanshi went for a competition, but Ketki remains unconvinced and says that Jhanak will not be considered part of the family unless Vihaan proves their marriage. She also questions Pulkit's character.

Prachi asserts that she never suggested Jhanak send Priyanshi with Pulkit, while Mehek remarks that Prachi has changed. Ketki accuses Jhanak of betraying her, but Jhanak denies it. Ketki vows to kick Jhanak out of the house if Vihaan doesn't confirm their marriage, while Jhanak stands firm that she never had ill intentions.
