Recently, news spread like wildfire that StarPlus’ popular show Jhanak was set to take a major leap of 20 years. This meant that the lead actors, Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja, who play Jhanak and Anirudh, would exit the show. The reason? Both actors felt they wouldn’t be as convincing in portraying 45-year-old characters. Naturally, this news left fans disheartened. However, in an exciting turn of events, the makers have now postponed the leap, bringing a wave of relief to viewers.
Hiba Nawab & Krushal Ahuja Stay—Fans Celebrate!
With the leap on hold, fans can now breathe easy as their beloved Jhanak and Anirudh are not leaving anytime soon. Instead, they will get to witness more heartfelt moments between the lead pair, something that had been a major highlight of the show.
Hiba Nawab recently opened up about the sudden change in plans. Speaking about the postponed leap, she shared,
“Many of us made travel plans, but now that the leap has been postponed, those plans are on hold. Honestly, though, I’m happy I get to spend more time working on the show. I cherish whatever time I have on a show because, in this industry, nothing lasts forever.”
Chandni Sharma also confirmed that there is time for the leap. The show will work with old artists. And she is happy that they will get some more time to entertain the veiwers.
Her words reflect the unpredictable nature of the entertainment industry, where sudden changes are part of the game. However, Krushal Ahuja, who plays Anirudh, has remained silent on the matter and has not made any official statement regarding the delay.
New Cast Introduction Delayed
Earlier, it was speculated that after the leap. A completely new cast would take over the show, replacing the existing actors. However, with the leap postponed, the casting process for the new faces has also been put on hold. This means that, for now, the current storyline will continue. Much to the delight of fans who weren’t ready to bid farewell to their favorite stars.
What’s Next for Jhanak?
With the leap no longer happening in the immediate future. It will be interesting to see how the makers shape the upcoming plot. Will the show focus on deepening Anirudh and Jhanak’s relationship, or will new twists emerge to keep the audience hooked? One thing is certain—the delay in the leap has given fans more time to enjoy the chemistry of Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja on screen.
For now, Jhanak lovers can rejoice as their favorite duo remains a part of the show, and the journey of Jhanak and Anirudh continues!
