Jhanak 20th September 2024 Written Episode Update

The episode kicks off with a tense confrontation between Aditya and Anirudh. As they argue, a doctor arrives and requests Aditya to sign the consent form for Jhanak’s surgery. Before Aditya can respond, Anirudh intervenes, asserting, “I’m Jhanak’s close relative. I’ll handle it.” The doctor, however, insists that Jhanak’s consent is required as well, handing over the form to Anirudh.

Trying to assert control, Anirudh offers to take care of the medical expenses, but the doctor reveals that Aditya has already covered the costs. “I couldn’t wait,” Aditya explains, to which Anirudh firmly insists he’ll repay him. However, Aditya refuses, brushing it off.

Frustrated, Anirudh retorts, “It’s my duty. Jhanak wanted me to manage everything, and I’m not interested in discussing it with you.” Aditya, staying composed, responds, “Fine, go ahead and talk to her then.” A nurse then informs Anirudh that he can watch the operation if he wishes. After seeking permission to see Jhanak, Dhara steps in to facilitate the approval from the doctor, and Anirudh proceeds to visit Jhanak.

Meanwhile, in a different setting, Arshi is seen packing her belongings when Dadi spots her and asks, “Where are you headed with such a large suitcase?” Arshi replies, “I’m going back to my own house. My parents are coming, and I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

Tanuja tries to persuade her to stay, saying, “Anirudh didn’t mean to upset you; he just asked Jhanak to step down from the dance competition.” Feeling overlooked, Arshi responds, “He doesn’t care about me, and I’ve already made up my mind.” Lal also pleads with her to wait until Anirudh’s father returns from Delhi, but Arshi remains resolute, saying, “My decision is final.”

Just then, Shrishti and Vinayak arrive, demanding, “Get Anirudh here. If he doesn’t show up, we’re taking Arshi home.” Dadi attempts to remind them that this is Arshi’s marital home, but Shrishti counters, “Her husband has abandoned her; this is no longer her home.”

Back at the hospital, the friction between Aditya and Anirudh intensifies. Aditya firmly tells Anirudh, “You’re not the right person to be seeing Jhanak.” Anirudh fires back, “Who do you think you are to make that call?” Aditya counters, “I know what’s going on between you and Jhanak.” Furious, Anirudh warns Aditya to tread carefully.

While this unfolds, Arshi confides in Shrishti, telling her, “He’s only focused on Jhanak.” Shrishti replies, “I suspected as much. He’s too preoccupied for anything else.”

Bablu arrives to check in on Arshi, but soon the attention shifts back to Jhanak. Reflecting on his feelings, Anirudh privately admits to himself, “I thought our relationship was over, but I was wrong. You don’t know what I had to go through to be here. I couldn’t leave you. I love you, Jhanak. You’re everything to me.”

Meanwhile, a nurse informs Jhanak that a family member from Kolkata has signed the necessary forms. Jhanak, deep in thought, considers, “I can’t let this secret get out.” When asked directly by the nurse, she remains silent.

When Anirudh and Jhanak finally meet, the atmosphere is thick with emotion. The song Phir Le Aaya Dil plays softly in the background, emphasizing the deep connection and unresolved feelings between them.

At the same time, Shrishti continues to argue with Bablu, with Lal and Bipasha siding with her. Anirudh approaches Jhanak and apologizes, saying, “I’m sorry for everything. I never meant to hurt you.” However, Jhanak remains distant, replying, “I only informed you; I didn’t ask you to come here.” Still, Anirudh insists, “I had to come to make sure you were alright. Everything will be okay.”

As family tensions continue to rise, Shrishti drops a bombshell revelation: “Jhanak is pregnant.” Bipasha quickly refutes this, saying, “No, Anirudh told me it’s not a pregnancy—it’s a tumor.” Shocked, Vinayak asks, “A tumor?”

Accepting her situation, Jhanak tells Anirudh, “I don’t know if I’ll survive this, so I need to say something. I forgive you for everything. You doubted me, accused me of infidelity, and even claimed I was carrying another man’s child. If I don’t survive, there won’t be any more shame or accusations. I just want you to be happy with Arshi.”

Clearly emotional, Anirudh responds, “Let’s not talk about this now. You have no idea what I’m going through.” Jhanak quietly acknowledges, “I’ve seen it, but what’s happening inside you is even harder to understand.”

As the conversation draws to a close, Anirudh tries to reassure Jhanak, “I’ll take care of the bills, but Aditya has already paid for everything. You can return the money later. But why would he pay for my wife’s surgery?”

The episode wraps up with Lal suspecting that Anirudh may be hiding something. Shrishti suggests that Jhanak might be manipulating him, but Vinayak dismisses this idea, calling it impossible. Shrishti, however, stands firm, insisting, “It’s possible. She’s after him.”

As Jhanak is wheeled into surgery, Anirudh holds her hand and says, “I’ll be waiting downstairs. Stay strong; everything will be alright.” Jhanak, now resigned, responds, “Go home, Anirudh.” He gently replies, “When you wake up, I want my face to be the first thing you see. Nothing will happen to you. I’m right here.”
