Jhanak: Vihaan urges Jhanak to remain with him and Ahaan

Tonight's Jhanak episode opens with Jhanak telling Vihaan that she owes her safety to the deal he offered her that day. She asks him what it is that he wants from her. Vihaan replies that she can't offer him what he desires, and he won't ask again. He pleads with her to stay in the house for both his and Ahaan's sake. He acknowledges that Ketki scolds her unfairly, but he insists Jhanak's presence is vital for Ahaan. Jhanak responds by saying Ahaan will eventually learn to live without her, as staying in the house forever isn't an option. Vihaan expresses his understanding and says that he will always support Jhanak, admiring her selflessness and respecting her deeply.

Meanwhile, Aniruddha tells Choton that Jhanak is alright. Choton questions how Aniruddha is so sure of this, and he admits he has a sense that she's fine. Choton presses further, suspecting Aniruddha knows more than he's letting on. Aniruddha keeps quiet but refrains from revealing anything. Arshi, who overhears this conversation, grows suspicious. She wonders why Aniruddha is hiding Jhanak's location if he truly knows where she is.

Choton then suggests inviting Jhanak to his wedding, but Aniruddha immediately shuts this down, saying Jhanak won't be able to attend. Choton, concerned, asks if she's in danger, to which Aniruddha shakes his head. Arshi interrupts, demanding to know the truth. She presses Aniruddha on how he knows Jhanak's whereabouts and where she is now. Aniruddha responds that it's irrelevant, mentioning that Jhanak is in a different place emotionally and doesn't wish to return to her previous life.

Elsewhere, Ketki confronts Jhanak, accusing her of causing the family disgrace. She tells Jhanak not to meddle in others' affairs. Jhanak, however, defends herself, saying she will not stand by when things are wrong. She holds up Priyanshi's trophy, telling Ketki that Priyanshi earned it through her hard work. She asks if Ketki isn't proud of her achievement. Ketki dismisses the trophy, stating Priyanshi should focus on household duties after marriage. Jhanak sarcastically praises Ketki, calling her a kind-hearted person willing to do anything for her family without getting upset.

Ketki, mocking Jhanak, questions whether she's now going to teach her how to run the house. She then accuses Prachi of betrayal, declaring that she will never forgive her. Ketki suggests that Jhanak might try to take Vihaan away from her again, but Jhanak reassures her that it won't happen, and she would leave the house if such a situation arose.

Mehek attempts to calm the situation, telling Jhanak that she shouldn't speak like that. She claims Ketki isn't always wrong, adding that Pulkit is happy with Priyanshi's dancing skills. Ketki, however, insists that Pulkit will never go against his family. Jhanak stands firm in her belief that Priyanshi deserves a happy and successful marriage. Ketki retorts, saying Prachi should leave if she can't make Priyanshi stop, but Jhanak reminds her that such a decision isn't in her hands legally.
