Jhanak 22nd April 2025 Written Update: Jhanak’s Victory. Today in Jhanak written update, the episode kicks off with Appu being her dramatic self, sitting around and whining about when the doctor will call—as if the world’s ending. Kajol tries to keep her sane and tells her to chill. Anirudh tries being the voice of reason, saying Appu should get better before she starts dreaming about marriage functions. But Appu’s clearly not in the mood. She suddenly declares she’s going to die, leaving everyone in shock. Lalon asks what’s going on, and Appu, with full filmy flair, complains of a headache and her tragic fate. Kajol has had enough and basically threatens to ignore her if she keeps acting out. Poor Lalon’s just confused, and Jhanak gently tells Appu that her words actually hurt people.
Appu promises to behave—classic damage control. Right on cue, the nurse arrives with the doctor’s call, but Appu decides to go full diva mode again. “I’ve waited too long, I’m not going now,” she announces like it’s a beauty salon appointment. The nurse calmly says she’ll move on to another patient, which ruffles Appu’s feathers. She even scolds the poor nurse. Thankfully, Anirudh steps in and drags her inside before things get messier.
The doctor, who clearly has the patience of a saint, asks how Appu is. Appu complains again, then suddenly switches gears, saying she’s totally fine and doesn’t want an injection. She even brings up Anirudh’s wedding like it’s a town gossip session. Kajol tries to shut her up, but Appu’s on a roll—complaining about scoldings, headaches, and fainting episodes like she’s reading a checklist. Jhanak and Kajol explain the situation properly, and the doctor says tests are needed. Lalon gets nervous and asks if it’s serious. The doctor gives a non-committal “let’s wait for results,” and Appu instantly jumps to “Lalon thinks I’ll die.” The drama never stops.
Then Appu pulls another stunt—says she can’t miss wedding functions for some boring medical tests. Anirudh lectures her a bit, and the doctor, bless her, just wants the test results. In a hilarious twist, Appu offers chocolate to the doctor as a bribe for skipping injections. The doctor jokingly asks for a song instead, and Appu goes full performance mode. A free concert in the clinic? Why not. Everyone claps like she’s the next singing sensation.
Cut to the other storyline—Vinayak corners Arshi about her divorce. Shrishti jumps in, serving sass as usual, saying he could’ve called instead of showing up in person. She reminds him that Siddharth is the new soon-to-be son-in-law. Vinayak tries to play the concerned father card, asking how Arshi can live with Siddharth while still legally married. Shrishti claps back, pointing out that he never questioned Anirudh. Vinayak delivers the dramatic line of the day—“Anirudh isn’t my son.” Classic emotional manipulation. He tells Arshi to come to his house after the divorce if she really loves him. No pressure, right?
Shrishti throws shade again, saying Vinayak’s just worried about society. He turns around and accuses her of brainwashing Arshi. Arshi defends herself and says the decision was hers. Shrishti throws in more tea, saying the divorce is more urgent for Anirudh because he’s got a wedding planned with Jhanak on the same day. The man didn’t even wait a full news cycle! Vinayak storms off. Siddharth wants to stop him but Arshi shuts that down. Later, Arshi questions if they’re doing the right thing. Shrishti goes all philosophical, saying choosing freedom is always right and hugs her. She then fishes for Siddharth’s future plans, and he spills everything.
Back home, Anirudh and Jhanak return to the house. Dadi, ever the queen of shade, blames Jhanak for her body pain. Jhanak, still trying to be the ideal bahu, offers to give her a massage with oil she made. Dadi refuses like a true soap opera mother-in-law. Anjana asks Jhanak to get the oil anyway. Once Jhanak leaves, Dadi admits she slipped in the bathroom. She cries out in pain, and Jhanak rushes in with the oil.
Then comes Bipasha, always ready with a spicy comment, accusing Jhanak of heating the oil to torture Dadi. Jhanak shuts her down calmly. Mrinalini lightens the mood by saying Dadi should give Jhanak a gift if the oil works. Bablu adds she should attend the wedding as a gift. Bipasha fumes—Bablu has officially defected to “Team Jhanak.” He and Anjana scold her, while Jhanak begins the massage.
Magically, Dadi feels better and even admits it. She throws in some passive-aggressive wisdom, saying Jhanak has to win everyone’s hearts now since she’s becoming the daughter-in-law. Mrinalini insists Dadi should attend the wedding because Jhanak makes Anirudh happy, unlike Arshi. Dadi finally gives in and says she’s grateful to Jhanak. Jhanak asks for her blessings, and Dadi agrees to be at the wedding. Jhanak’s joy? Off the charts.
