Jhanak 23rd February 2025 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Vihaan arriving at the Bose house with Ahaan. Anirudh informs him that the family members are out. Jhanak takes Ahaan from Vihaan’s arms and immediately notices that he has a fever. Vihaan confirms that Ahaan misses Jhanak deeply. Arshi, who is also present, remarks that Ahaan looks weak. Vihaan adds that Ahaan’s condition is due to his longing for Jhanak. Arshi assures Vihaan that she will send Jhanak back to him after her delivery. Anirudh offers Vihaan some food, and Jhanak goes to get something. However, she firmly tells Arshi that she is not an object that can be sent away at someone’s will.
Vihaan then directly asks Jhanak whether she can return to his house for Ahaan’s sake. He promises that his family will not mistreat her. Arshi interjects, saying that at least Jhanak will have a place to stay. Jhanak replies that she will leave after Arshi’s delivery but has no plans of returning to Vihaan’s house. Vihaan counters by telling Arshi that if she truly accepted Jhanak as her sister, she wouldn’t make her go through this struggle. Arshi defends herself, insisting that Vihaan misunderstood her. At the police station, Kajol informs the police inspector that Jhimli is missing. Lalon pleads for help in finding her. The inspector asks about Jhimli’s romantic involvement, to which Lalon reveals that Jhimli loves Anindo but they know very little about him. Kajol insists that the police must help, but the inspector states that this isn’t a kidnapping case.
Lalon, desperate, explains that along with Jhimli, 50 lakh rupees have also gone missing. He suspects that Jhimli took the money. The police inspector reprimands Lalon for not being more careful with such a large sum. However, he asks for Jhimli’s photo and suggests that she might be in danger. Lalon continues to beg for assistance, but the inspector says Jhimli is an adult, and if she willingly eloped with Anindo, there is nothing they can do legally. Kajol, worried, prays that Jhimli doesn’t fall into trouble. Lalon cries as they file a missing persons report and leave.
At Vihaan’s house, Sejal questions Ketki about whether Vihaan will really bring Jhanak back. She asks if Ketki will allow Jhanak to enter the house. Ketki responds by asking if Sejal has a problem with it. Sejal argues that Jhanak might ruin the family’s values. Ketki becomes irritated and scolds Sejal for trying to dictate how she runs the household. However, Sejal insists that she is only thinking about Vihaan and the family’s well-being. Eventually, Ketki tells Sejal she will consider it. After Sejal leaves, Ketki reflects on her words and begins to doubt whether allowing Jhanak back into their home is the right decision. Sejal later suggests that Ketki should arrange Vihaan’s second marriage, further fueling Ketki’s thoughts.
Jhanak thanks Vihaan for all the help he has given her. However, she also expresses her strong desire for independence. She explains that she will leave after Arshi’s delivery because she feels indebted to the Bose family but will not return to Vihaan’s house. Vihaan, still searching for answers, asks why she ran away in the first place. Jhanak tells him that marriage, to her, is a sacred bond—one that should not be forced. She explains that she was coerced into marrying Vihaan, and that is why she ran away. Arshi scoffs at Jhanak’s reasoning, claiming that Jhanak doesn’t even understand what will truly make her happy.
Choton confronts Lalon, asking why he didn’t inform him earlier about Jhimli’s disappearance. Lalon explains that he didn’t want to trouble him. Bablu speculates that Jhimli must have left to marry Anindo. Kajol questions why Jhimli would need money if Anindo is already wealthy. Anuradha, feeling ashamed, says she cannot face anyone because she is certain Jhimli must have given all the money to Anindo. Appu urges Lalon to find Jhimli quickly. Just then, Jhimli calls Anuradha, confirming that she has married Anindo. She tells Anuradha not to worry about her. Anuradha, furious, demands to know why Jhimli stole the money. Jhimli coldly replies that she only took what she considered her rightful share. Anuradha scolds her, but Jhimli refuses to listen, insisting she can take care of herself before abruptly disconnecting the call. Anuradha, heartbroken, declares that there is no need to search for Jhimli anymore. Bablu suggests that if Anindo is a decent man, they should accept the marriage. However, Lalon strongly disagrees, stating that Anindo is not a good person. Anuradha warns Lalon not to make any further contact with Jhimli. Appu tries to calm her down, reminding her that she still has him by her side. Anuradha breaks down in tears.
Back at the Bose house, Arshi taunts Jhanak, claiming that if she hadn’t escaped, she would have remained trapped in the red-light district permanently. Jhanak fires back, blaming Arshi for being the reason she ended up in such a dire situation in the first place. She also reminds Arshi that she is leading a comfortable life only because of her.
Precap: Dadi wonders what decision Anirudh will make.
