They will revert to showing him cowardly or spineless in the very next scene I'm sure....lol

Eewwww...the moment I see him...I recall how khoobsurat Krush was as Anirudh Bose... immediately it turns me off and make me feel at peace that no, it's not the Anirudh Bose 😁😁

Exactly...such bad acting.... ekdaam surface level....

It's like he is just mouthing the dialogues ..no emotions..no expression or voice modulation...as if he is just reading out...i would not be surprised if there is a prompter as well

They are all just phoning it in, Asmita .....Leena ki third class script ke liye waise bhi acting effort daalne ka kya point hoga? These actors are content to phone it in, isliye sab itna enjoy karte hain doing Leena ke perverted shows....mast picnic hai inke liye....lol

LOL yes no doubt buddhe Ani ki terrible acting helps us further detach from this version of Ani being shown in S2....but Leena still never stops trying to malign the Krushal version of Ani by always showing S1 FBs of Runak.

So he tried to kill Jhanak2 cuz he thought she was Parashar's daughter? But I thought someone mentioned in one update here that he suspected Jhanak might be his daughter and wanted to get rid of her for the sake of his "image"?

Hey Zainab dii... Happy new year....ahh your post reminded me of older times of Jhanak forum...our collective celebration and mourning..so I would definitely reply to you...

See ..first a big 🤗 as I get the emotion behind this completely, but honestly, I feel we’re still giving far too much credit to Leena by assuming there was some deliberate masterplan, betrayal arc, or personal vendetta at play.

The truth , as uncomfortable as it is , is much simpler. "Leena has always told the same story.From day one, across multiple shows, her core theme has never changed: infidelity, emotional cheating, and moral decay dressed up as destiny. Jhanak was never meant to be a story of growth or redemption .We assumed it would be, because the actors’ chemistry elevated the material far beyond what was written.

Anirudh Bose wasn’t downgraded later.He was always designed to collapse.

We just didn’t see it initially because The Kashmir arc was atmospheric and emotionally rich, RuNak chemistry created an illusion of depth And Krushal’s performance added layers to Aniruddh the script never intended...lol

But The way this post frames it, it almost sounds like Anirudh alone carried the burden of moral decay, when in reality the writing hollowed out both characters. Yes, the show ran on Anirudh’s name and his choices drove many tracks but Jhanak was not morally untouched by the narrative either.the moral decay wasn’t limited to Anirudh alone. Jhanak too was gradually stripped of the very ethical core she was introduced with.

Early Jhanak was written as a moral compass.. honest, dignified, resilient, and deeply rooted in self-respect despite her hardships. Her pain felt earned. Her silence had strength. The way she controlled herself,controlled her emotions shows her moral strength and Her dreams were simple yet noble.

But as the story progressed, that moral clarity was deliberately eroded.She was made to justify emotional dependency instead of questioning it.

Her suffering was repeatedly used as a license for ethical compromise...Her pain was no longer something to rise above but a weapon to justify every moral compromise... justify everytime she spat pure venom verbally....her entitlement over a married man but always running away from claiming him in dignified manner...

Her agency shrank not because she was weak, but because the narrative needed her to comply.Slowly, the woman who once stood for dignity became a participant in the same moral mess she was initially meant to rise above.

And no...This wasn’t character complexity or realism , it was normalization of erosion.

There was no reflective arc, no reckoning, no conscious choice where Jhanak confronts her own boundaries and redraws them with awareness. Instead, her moral shifts were treated as inevitable, almost invisible as if trauma automatically absolves accountability...

As you mentioned...That Google synopsis literally warned us:

“…crossing paths with a man who further complicates her life.”

Not saves her.Not grows with her.But "Complicates"

So this wasn’t a story of one man’s fall.

It was a systemic moral decay, where both leads were reshaped to serve the same old template of emotional cheating and normalized compromise.

Focusing only on Anirudh lets the writing off the hook because the real issue wasn’t one flawed character, but a narrative that refused to let anyone evolve with integrity.

From the very beginning, her narratives have revolved around normalizing emotional infidelity, moral compromise, and blurred accountability, all framed as destiny, trauma, “inevitable circumstances.” or "The Divine intervention" Jhanak followed the same blueprint....

Hey Asmi how’s u? Happy new year….

Reading your post… it felt like old times but with the assurance that we have all wisened up 🤣🤣

Writing anything sensible about the Jhanak serial is ofc a pointless exercise but one thing I understood while engaging in this is about the manipulative laziness of makers like Leena. It took me some time to figure this out…

You have mentioned that the narrative did not allow anyone to evolve with integrity… yes very true; at first I thought it was perhaps Leena’s perspective or her cynicism about people and relationships which could well be but when I piece together the entire series ( J2 largely based on the odd update here or a glance, few and far between) I feel it’s nothing but an exercise aimed at continuing the farce…as silly as it was but We spent reams analysing the traits but every single time, she used tactics to stall the narrative which is a common enough thing for itv; however her added lack of integrity and creativity ensured that she chose to use the stupidest and laziest plot twists to keep status quo which was necessary for the perpetuity of the farce.

a case in point, as she had already used delirium, intoxication for the intimacy for Ani , she just chose to make Ani adamant on not accepting his intimacy with Jhanak ( the second time he was intimate with her) in complete consciousness…. It’s not about the creative licence- both the above cases of delirium and intoxication are equally stupid but can be assumed to be creative licence that intoxication or delirium completely drowned any consciousness of the act. But how the hell do I accept that Ani refused the possibility of a progeny after being intimate with Jhanak of which he had so many Eastman Colour recollections of….

Leena is such a stupid and vile writer that she insults her audience with this farcical nonsense.

It’s not about a character called Ani who in the writer’s perspective wasn’t an ideal support for her titular character but her inability to build that perspective ( her prerogative ofc) in a manner that as an audience I could have appreciated the story. It’s not about the personal dissatisfaction of a love story gone awry rather the irritation that i invested emotion in a tale that the writer did not have any maturity to build even if she did not want to take the love story to fruition…

Ab Jis halat main Leena layi hogi Ani ko, Krushal bhi kya ukaad leta? Writing is key… woh toh Leena ki bas ki baat nahin…
