Jhanak 23rd August 2025 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Aditi confronting Parashar. She bluntly asks why he expected Rishi to rush to the village for Jhanak. Parashar, curious, questions her identity. Aditi confidently replies that she is Rishi’s future wife. That’s when Rishi cuts in, declaring that he never accepted the forced marriage and refuses to acknowledge Jhanak as his wife. Kanka, unimpressed, demands to know what Jhanak was doing in his house then.
Rishi explains that Jhanak lived in his home as a maid, her own decision after the villagers sent her with him forcefully. He stresses that Aditi is his fiancée, and his marriage with her will happen after Dadabhai’s discharge. But Parashar doesn’t agree. He reminds him that marriage is marriage, accepted or not—it still binds. Rishi insists the marriage was nothing but a desperate attempt to save his life. He blames the villagers for ruining his situation and claims his career is in danger. He appreciates Jhanak for saving Dadabhai’s life but firmly states he will never accept her as his wife. Instead, he demands Parashar take Jhanak back to Simulboni.
Putul loses patience and tells him to stop, but Rishi stands by his version of the truth. He recalls his suffering in Simulboni and reminds Nutan that he had been honest about having a fiancée. His rant continues until Dadabhai enters the scene. Dadabhai taunts Rishi, making it clear that whether Rishi acknowledges Jhanak or not, he has already accepted her as his daughter. He firmly declares that Jhanak will stay in their home, and if Rishi has a problem, he can find another house to live in. This shocks both Rishi and Aditi. Frustrated, Rishi sarcastically tells Dadabhai to enjoy life with his “new daughter” and storms out with Aditi.
Elsewhere, the police inquiry angle builds up. A senior officer instructs a junior to call Jhanak, stating that Rishi’s only way to secure his job is by accepting her as his wife.
The next day, Dadabhai receives medical advice from his doctor to stay careful with his diet. Rishi, trying to shift attention, says Anirudh has sent a car for their comfort. Abhimanyu asks about Rishi’s office meeting, and Rishi casually replies he’ll go tomorrow. Aditi slips in that she has already spoken to Anirudh for help, raising Dadabhai’s curiosity. But Rishi brushes it off, saying they’ll discuss it at home. Meanwhile, the police call Jhanak, asking her to give a statement in Rishi’s case the following day.
Back at home, Dadabhai’s concern for Jhanak continues. When he asks about her, the family tries to avoid the topic. But he insists Jhanak is his responsibility. Aditi remarks that Dadabhai won’t stop thinking about Jhanak, and he admits she’s right. For him, Jhanak’s purity of heart is unmatched. On the contrary, Rishi fumes that all his troubles exist only because of her.
Meanwhile, Jhanak finds shelter at a temple. With the priest’s permission, she stays there. In a heart-touching scene, she prays earnestly for Rishi’s career and happiness. Despite his harsh rejection, she promises to carry her wife’s responsibility forever.
Precap:
Jhanak meets with an accident. A worried Rishi rushes to her, questioning himself about why he came when he supposedly doesn’t care.
