Jhanak Today Episode: The episode opens with Dadi angrily accusing Jhanak of trying to harm Arshi. Jhanak, feeling misunderstood, asks if anyone would believe her side of the story. Choton tries to reassure her by saying that the truth will eventually prevail. However, Dadi silences him, insisting that Shrishti witnessed the incident herself. Despite the severity of the accusation, Jhanak is not handed over to the police.
Bablu chimes in, saying if the accusations are false, the police will clear Jhanak. Anjana urges Dadi not to jump to conclusions, but Dadi remains adamant, stating that Shrishti saw Jhanak pushing the diya towards Arshi, who is now in the hospital.
Anirudh is deeply worried about Arshi, while Tanuja consoles Shrishti, reminding her that they can reschedule the wedding. She expresses her maternal concern for Arshi, seeing her as a daughter. Lal reassures Shrishti that everyone is on her side. Shrishti, overwhelmed with anger, declares that Jhanak should be severely punished for allegedly trying to burn Arshi.
Vinayak steps in, questioning how they can prove Jhanak’s guilt and urging Shrishti to focus on Arshi’s recovery. A doctor arrives, informing them that Arshi needs to be hospitalized and may require plastic surgery due to serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Shrishti anxiously asks if Arshi will be able to walk again, but the doctor is uncertain.
Dadi continues to argue with Bablu and Anjana, accusing Jhanak of bringing misfortune since her arrival. Bablu challenges her to list any bad events, and Anjana defends Jhanak. Dadi insists that Jhanak is sabotaging Arshi and Anirudh’s marriage. Bablu speculates that perhaps the marriage was not meant to be, but Dadi refuses to accept this.
Shrishti is distraught over Arshi’s ruined dance career and pleads for her to be saved. Shubh urges the doctor to do his best to treat Arshi, and the doctor advises them to be patient, as the recovery process could take 10-15 days or more. Vinayak and Shubh both stress the importance of saving Arshi.
Bablu sends Jhanak upstairs, telling her she has heard enough. Jhanak resigns herself to her fate, while Dadi insists that Jhanak’s actions are the result of her own deeds. Choton insists that the truth will come out, hinting that someone else witnessed the incident. Vinayak mentions that the doctor will perform surgery on Arshi, and Shrishti reiterates her belief that Jhanak tried to harm Arshi to prevent her from getting married.
Vinayak tries to reason with Shrishti, suggesting that it was an accident and questioning why Jhanak would try to burn someone in public. Shrishti, however, is convinced of Jhanak’s guilt and vows to punish her. She also expresses doubts about Anirudh’s intentions, suspecting he might be marrying Arshi for her status and wealth.
Dadi, frustrated with Choton’s comments, asks for proof. Choton insists the truth will reveal itself in time. Bablu tells Jhanak to go upstairs, and Shubh suggests filing a police complaint against her. Vinayak defends Jhanak, believing she is innocent and well-raised. Shubh, however, insists that Jhanak is deceitful and could ruin their lives.
Dadi, having called Tanuja for an update on Arshi, learns that she is severely burned and needs surgery. Shrishti is determined to press charges against Jhanak. Despite Jhanak’s protests of innocence, she offers to accept punishment if found guilty. Choton reassures her that nothing will be proven against her.
Vinayak argues that everyone is mistaken about Jhanak. Shrishti, convinced of Jhanak’s guilt, is unmoved. Vinayak questions the motive behind Jhanak’s alleged actions, suggesting it was an accident. Shrishti, however, believes Jhanak wants to trap Anirudh. As a lawyer, Tanuja urges them to file a formal complaint, and Shubh promises to pursue justice for Arshi.
Vinayak refuses to be involved in what he sees as a baseless accusation. Shrishti argues that others support her because they believe her, and she asks about Anirudh’s whereabouts. Shubh explains that Anirudh is outside the burn ward, unable to see Arshi due to the risk of infection. Shrishti insists on meeting Anirudh, determined not to let Jhanak escape punishment. Vinayak prays for Arshi’s recovery.
Next Day: Jhanak visits Anirudh’s room. Shocked to see her, Anirudh warns her about the consequences if anyone finds out she’s there. He expresses disbelief that she could harm Arshi but informs her that Shrishti has already called the police, and she won’t be allowed to go free.
