Jhanak, one of Star Plus’ most talked-about serials, found itself at the center of controversy—not for an on-screen twist but for rumors of its untimely end. The speculation spread like wildfire, leading to unexpected reactions from both fans and cast members.
Jhanak Actors Deny Show’s Closure
Despite the persistent buzz, lead actors Arjit Taneja and Twinkle Arora firmly denied reports claiming the show was going off-air. In their statements, they mentioned that no official communication had reached them. According to them, the series is not ending anytime soon.
Interestingly, the denial didn’t calm the chaos—it intensified it. As soon as the actors cleared the air, fans began reacting with mixed emotions. While many celebrated the false alarm, Arjit Taneja expressed disappointment over the celebrations.
Sriti Jha Joins the Discussion
He took to Twitter and posted, “Seeing people celebrate Jhanak going off-air is sad. A show supports 150+ jobs.” He urged fans to lift each other up rather than cheer for loss. His message emphasized the hard work of the cast and crew and called for empathy, saying, “Actors do their best with the given content. We don’t control it.” Actress Sriti Jha also chimed in, urging fans to “be better” in their responses. However, this plea didn’t stop the wave of harsh criticism coming from disappointed viewers.
Soon after Arjit’s tweet, fans began flooding social media with their grievances. They accused the makers of serving a storyline that felt torturous to follow. Several users criticized the show’s narrative, highlighting how its aggressive, illogical, and toxic themes impacted their mental well-being.
One user wrote, “Earning money by promoting aggressive and negative content is wrong. Actors who signed up knowing the show’s past are equally responsible.” Another lashed out at Arjit, saying, “Go and watch all 551 episodes before defending it.”
Accusations Against Creative Team
While some expressed empathy for the actors, others pointed fingers at the show’s writers. Viewers claimed that ‘Jhanak’ supported extramarital affairs, trauma, and regressive marriage portrayals—especially the treatment of rural women. According to them, this kind of storytelling deserves to be discontinued, not defended.
As it stands, no official confirmation has been made about the show’s closure. Nevertheless, the incident stirred heated conversations about television content and its responsibility toward audiences.
