Jhanak Declares Anirudh Is Her Biological Father

A major conflict unfolds in the Star Plus serial Jhanak. Aditi turns completely against Jhanak, as she feels Rishi is slowly falling for her. Afraid of losing her husband to another woman, Aditi begins questioning her place in Rishi’s life. She asks him whether she truly matters to him and openly states that she cannot tolerate Jhanak living in their house.

Rishi argues with Aditi and firmly supports Jhanak. He asks Aditi to go to her father’s house if she wishes and declares that Jhanak will not leave his house under any circumstances. Aditi questions why Rishi is going against his family to support Jhanak and ends up insulting Jhanak’s parents. Jhanak becomes defensive and warns Aditi not to drag her mother into the argument.

Parashar intervenes and warns Jhanak to return to the village. He expresses his lack of trust in Anirudh. Parashar makes it clear that Jhanak’s safety matters to him more than anything else. Anirudh sarcastically comments that Parashar cares so deeply for Jhanak because she is his daughter. Parashar rebukes Anirudh, clarifying that although he is not Jhanak’s biological father, he loves her as his own. He accuses Anirudh of failing in his responsibilities as a father and warns that the truth about Anirudh being Jhanak’s real father will soon come out.

Jhanak tells Parashar that Anirudh insulted her mother and deliberately provoked her. Anirudh challenges Jhanak, and she boldly declares that she will soon reveal the truth to the world that Anirudh is her biological father. Arshi overhears this and lashes out at Anirudh, blaming him for bringing Nutan into their lives.

Aditi compares Rishi to Anirudh, but Rishi strongly refuses the comparison. He says he will never ruin Jhanak’s life the way Anirudh destroyed Nutan’s life in the past. Anirudh immediately questions Rishi about whether he intends to marry Jhanak. Rishi warns Anirudh not to interfere in his personal life and makes it clear that he only demands respect for Jhanak. He states that he will not tolerate anyone insulting her again.

Anirudh accuses Jhanak of being greedy and claims that she has entered their lives to destroy Aditi and Rishi’s marriage. Jhanak announces that she will fight for her rights, and Rishi steps forward to support her openly. Aditi turns completely against their bond and demands that Jhanak be thrown out of the house.

Rishi stands firm and declares that no one can remove Jhanak from his house or his life. He refuses to accept Aditi’s ultimatum and tells her that she is free to walk out of his house and their marriage if she wishes. Jhanak reveals to the media that Anirudh is her biological father, who betrayed her mother. She challenges him to undergo a DNA test. Anirudh publicly denies the accusation, setting the upcoming track for a massive showdown ahead as Jhanak and Anirudh battle it out for truth and identity.
