Star Plus’ Jhanak, starring Hiba Nawab, Krushal Ahuja, and Chandni Sharma, began as a gripping love triangle that had fans hooked from the start. Over time, the show appeared to be heading toward resolution, as Arshi stepped aside to start a new chapter with Siddharth, and Jhanak finally accepted Aniruddha’s proposal. Wedding preparations were in full swing, and viewers eagerly anticipated a happy ending. However, Siddharth’s unexpected decision to stall the divorce proceedings threw their plans into turmoil. To complicate matters, Siddharth misled Aniruddha, claiming Arshi was too unwell to attend the mutual divorce hearing, all while Arshi secretly enjoyed the chaos. This manipulation left Aniruddha disheartened and filled with regret, fearing his marriage to Jhanak might no longer be possible. The growing tension and betrayal set the stage for yet another twist in this already emotionally charged tale.
While fans anticipated a joyous wedding, the latest promo of Jhanak presented a completely different reality. Instead of a bride preparing for marriage, Jhanak had undergone a dramatic transformation.
The promo opened with Jhanak shopping for vegetables, her appearance drastically changed. Gone was the sophisticated Bengali woman audiences had known. Instead, she wore a modest saree, her hair neatly braided, and minimal jewellery. More importantly, her accent had completely shifted—she now spoke in fluent Bhojpuri, signaling a profound shift in her identity and surroundings.
Suddenly, she turned to the camera, breaking the fourth wall. She directly addressed the viewers, saying, “Ek baat batayein, jab apne dhokha det hain tab sapna saath det hain. Apne sapna ke khatir Kolkata ke galiyan aur kuch apno ke chhod ke hum yahaan aaye hain. Nai duniya, naya avtaar… janiye humar kahani 25 April se.”
As she walked away, someone called out her name—“Jhanak.” She paused for a moment, turned back, and innocently asked, “Arey, kaun Jhanak?” The simple question carried immense weight, implying that the betrayals she had endured had erased not just her past but even her identity.
This unexpected twist has left fans emotionally invested yet frustrated. The hope they once had for Jhanak’s future now seems uncertain. Betrayal has forced her into reinvention, but whether it leads to strength or further suffering remains to be seen.
