The popular Indian TV daily soap Jhanak, featuring Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja, has captured viewers’ attention with its gripping twists and emotional moments. Now, the show is gearing up for a major transformation—a generation leap—which will mark the exit of both lead actors from the storyline.
Before bidding farewell, the makers released a new promo teasing the next big twist, but it sparked disappointment among fans. Once again, viewers are faced with the heartbreaking separation of the beloved couple, Jhanak and Anirudh.
The latest promo, shared by Star Plus on their official social media, depicts Jhanak (Hiba Nawab) dreaming of a happy life with Anirudh (Krushal Ahuja) and their two children. However, she wakes to the harsh reality of their broken family—Jhanak caring for a newborn while Anirudh lives apart with their daughter. Despite Anirudh’s longing to reunite, he remains trapped in denial.
Accompanying the promo, the caption read:
“Uch rishte pal bhar ke hote hain… par unka intezaar, zindagi bhar rehta hai. Jhanak aur Anirudh—ek kahani jo adhuri reh gayi… Par kya is baar takraayegi taqdeer se jeet?”
As soon as the promo was released, fans flooded the comment section with frustration and sadness. Many had been hoping to witness Jhanak and Anirudh’s love flourish and settle into a peaceful family life. Instead, the repeated separation storyline has left viewers disappointed.
One fan shared, “Bestest jodi, awesome chemistry. Krushal’s emotional scenes were amazing but the storyline is the worst. We want to see you together in a beautiful love story. Honestly, this show hasn’t given us much else…”
Another commented, “Fabulous actors but terrible storyline. We wanted to see Jhanak grow as a strong woman and for Ani and Jhanak to stay united.” Many others echoed similar sentiments across social media.
Jhanak also features Chandni Sharma, Dolly Sohi, and several other talented actors. With the upcoming 20-year generation leap, fresh faces will join the cast, opening a new chapter for the show. But for now, fans are hoping the narrative finds a way to finally bring the beloved couple back together.
