On August 20, 2024, an intriguing episode of Jhanak unfolded, packed with drama and unexpected turns. The story kicks off with Aditya being asked to sing at a party. However, he is hesitant and tries to avoid performing. Despite his reluctance, the audience pushes him to take the stage. Aditya then turns to Jhanak, asking her to join him. Aniruddha, observing the interaction between Aditya and Jhanak, becomes increasingly jealous. He misinterprets the situation, not realizing that Jhanak is dedicating the song to him. Meanwhile, Shristi and Arshi seize the opportunity to manipulate Aniruddha’s feelings against both Aditya and Jhanak, aiming to erase any affection Aniruddha holds for Jhanak.
Simultaneously, Tanuja and Shubha are growing more irritated by the frequent visits of Lalan to the Bose household. His presence has become a point of contention, leading the two to decide to move out and shift to a new apartment. Chhoton, in an attempt to mediate, tries to convince Shubha that Bablu and Ajanta have always acted with the family’s best interests at heart. He reminds them how Ajanta works tirelessly to maintain the household. However, Tanuja and Shubha remain resolute in their decision to leave. Shubha’s mother steps in, pleading with her daughter not to take such a drastic step, fearing that the family will be torn apart if they proceed.
The tension escalates when Bablu defends Lalan, insisting that he is merely a poor man who respects their family and has done nothing wrong. But the situation takes a turn when Lal, seemingly neglectful of his own parents, raises his voice. Bablu, in response, harshly criticizes Lal for his lack of care towards his own family.
Back at the party, Aditya and Jhanak finally take the stage together. As they perform, Jhanak finds herself lost in memories of her time with Aniruddha. Despite being alongside Aditya, her mind keeps drifting back to the moments she shared with Aniruddha, moments that she clearly cherishes. Nonetheless, their performance captivates the audience, earning them applause and admiration. But the celebration is short-lived as Ajanta, furious with her son for his disobedience, lashes out. Lal, too, faces his mother’s wrath for neglecting his sister.
The episode continues with Aditya offering a job to Rudra, who is eager to work with Rudra Prasad. Rudraprasad expresses his gratitude for the opportunity. Meanwhile, Aditya is determined to protect Jhanak’s reputation. He knows that Brijbhushan is plotting to tarnish Jhanak’s image in a bid to ruin her career. Aditya is committed to ensuring Jhanak’s success, despite the challenges ahead. Chhoton, on the other hand, speaks up against the insults being thrown at Ajanta and Bablu by others, showing his support for them.
As the episode draws to a close, Brijbhushan makes a move to further damage Jhanak’s career by appealing to the administration to change their stance on her, potentially blocking her future opportunities.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with the precap revealing that Aditya will find Jhanak unconscious in her room, adding another layer of suspense to the unfolding drama.
