Jhanak 17th February 2025 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Tanuja telling Shrishti that Jhanak cannot stay in the Bose house. Choton argues, stating that Jhanak will stay there, but Tanuja insists that Dadi should make the final decision. Dadi reminds Tanuja that Shubh wants to apologize to Jhanak and that no decision can be made until Shubh returns from court. She also tells Choton that Arshi has as much right to the house as he and Anirudh do. Shrishti approaches Jhanak, wanting to talk to her. She apologizes and admits she has changed, leaving Jhanak shocked.
Jhimli asks Lalon why he didn’t take the full payment from Shubh. Lalon explains that he took all the money Shubh gave him, and Jhimli questions the interest. She mentions that their father’s death was due to Shubh, who took everything from them. Appu warns Lalon not to trust Shubh. Jhimli then tells Lalon that the Bose family will ruin his life too, glancing at Appu. Lalon realizes Jhimli’s concerns, but she warns him that he’s blinded by love. Lalon tells her not to interfere in his personal matters. Laal enters and says he wants to talk to Lalon about his room. He requests Lalon to stop the drama, as Dadi and Amitabh will not tolerate it if they leave the house. He leaves, and Appu asks Lalon if they can trust Laal. Lalon says Laal seemed genuine and reveals he had lied to Laal about the decorators.
Shrishti tells Jhanak that soon the verdict will be out, and she’ll be jailed. She asks for Jhanak’s forgiveness, admitting that she has changed. Jhanak refuses, saying nothing will change even if she forgives Shrishti. Shrishti apologizes again, acknowledging her mistakes and wanting to make things right. Jhanak insists Shrishti is no one to her and refuses to forgive her. Shrishti pleads, asking Jhanak to stay with her for a few days.
Arshi tells Shrishti to forget her if she truly wishes to do so. Shrishti responds that Arshi has everything, but Jhanak has nothing and needs her support. Arshi orders Shrishti to take Jhanak and leave. Shrishti offers to take Jhanak to their house, promising that she has changed and will change Jhanak’s life.
Anirudh refuses to trust Shrishti. Choton insists that Jhanak will stay in the Bose house. Shrishti asserts her rights as Jhanak’s mother, but Anirudh counters, saying it hasn’t been proven that Shrishti is a good mother. Jhanak tells Shrishti that Urvashi is her true mother, and she won’t replace her. Shrishti understands it will be hard for Jhanak to trust her and asks if Jhanak will visit her if she stays at the Bose house.
Mrinalini arrives and hugs Jhanak, reassuring her that she did nothing wrong and only trusted the wrong people. Anirudh tells Shrishti that he can’t risk sending Jhanak with her.
Jhimli meets her boyfriend and tells him she’s fighting with her family for money. He insists that he doesn’t want the money for himself, but because she has the right to it. He suggests Jhimli should match his standard in front of his family. Jhimli tells him her mother has invited him to meet her family, but he refuses, saying he can’t bring his family to Basti. He tells Jhimli to fight harder for the money, implying she should take it if it’s in the house. She questions why she should steal, but he insists that it’s her money, and her family doesn’t care about her happiness. Jhanak is cleaning Arshi’s room and tells her she will bring soup after. Arshi talks about her love with Anirudh and the baby, implying Jhanak is staying only because of Anirudh. Jhanak responds that she doesn’t need to see the person she loves and offers to become a nanny for the baby if Arshi wants her to. Arshi scolds Jhanak, but Jhanak asks her not to disrespect her love, claiming she can wait forever.
Precap: Anirudh tells Arshi not to treat Jhanak like a maid.

I don’t trust this Shristi lady,
She wants to take Jhanak and dump her by that Tejas again,
What self respect does Jhanak have to offer to be Nanny to that Trashi’s baby….
Jhanak is a fool with zero self respect.
Exactly, I don’t know what’s wrong with Jhanak. She should respect herself. Everything that belongs to her has been given to Arshi. I read in one of the previous episodes that Arshi claims she has regretted treating Jhanak badly but her actions now indicate that she lied and never regretted her evil ways toward Jhanak. And I don’t trust shristi one bit.
I think that was the time they were planning for a leap and also killing off her character. Now that the leap has been postponed, she is back to factory settings.
Not sure if those who comment here are watching the show because often I read what is written here and it is not exactly what is shown in the episode. Most times the writer here summarises things but if you watch the show you will notice that it really does not match in many instances. You have to listen to the dialogues to understand.
You may think Jhanak is a fool but try wearing her shoes – no one no money it is not easy out there in the world … every time she tries to get ahead something is coming in her way preventing her to move ahead. The show writer may be perceived as foolish but in reality many people are in Jhanak’s position. The writer is showing some of the things that can happen to a young alone and naive girl out there (in India or likely elsewhere). She is not street smart. The show is building up her character as you can see she is becoming stronger from the lessons learnt. It is just that it is happening so slowly which viewers don’t have the patience to wait (smile). Others are commenting elsewhere on Ani’s character but he is not two-timing. He loves Jhanak but there is no affair going on between the two. I have seen characters like Ani in real life – love one person, marry to another.
It’s a very nice show – it has its flaws but all things can’t be perfect ….
I agree Jhanak’s character is growing but if all the time she ends up in trouble is because she easily trusted someone then there is no redemption for that character as they are not learning from their past mistakes. Besides that, one day she has a backbone, the next day she is accepting to be a doormat. As viewers we see she moves one step forward and ten steps backwards. That is pretty frustrating to watch especially if you are watching to relieve stress. You end up with more unnecessary stress.

Isn’t Jhanak older than Arshi? Or did Shristi cheat on her husband and had Jhanak?
Jhanak is younger than Arshi. Shristi cheated on her husband when Arshi was 2years. But Jhanak is dad was her first husband. I am not even sure if they had divorced before she married Arshi’s dad. Basically, she left Jhanak’s dad for Arshi’s dad because she wanted money and fame. She went back to Jhanak’s dad pretending and ended up getting pregnant. When she discovered she was pregnant with Jhanak, she left Arshi and Vinayak for one year pretending that she was doing a dance course, gave birth to Jhanak and left Jhanak with Jhanak’s dad and her sister Urvashi and went back to Arshi and her father.
I am very certain that just like her first daughter, she will go back to factory settings of hating Jhanak.
Thanks Lily for clarifying. Disgusting mother and daughter. The way Arshi got pregnant was really sad. She knows her husband isn’t in love with her, so why hold on to him? Because she doesn’t want to be beaten by her sister?
Now she’s had an argument with her mom, every time she threatens that she’s leaving Ani’s house I yell at the computer “where will you go? you don’t want anything to do with Shristi.” LOL
Of course we all know she can’t leave Ani with Jhanak. She asked Jhanak to serve her so she can keep an eye on her. She is a fool. The person to keep an eye on is Ani. He just can’t leave Jhanak alone.
When Arshi was telling Jhanak there is love between her and Ani that’s why they are having a baby, I wanted to slap her to reality. In fact, she should thank Jhanak and alcohol that Ani even touched her later on slept with her that night. Otherwise if he wasn’t seeing her as Jhanak that night, she would be a frustrated fool.
