Why Jhanak Is Falling Apart: 11 Reasons Fans Are Demanding Closure. The popular Star Plus show Jhanak is navigating rocky waters, and fans are feeling more frustrated than fulfilled. Once hailed for its emotional depth and unique characters, the show has recently taken a drastic turn with a generational leap and new cast members. While change can revive a story, Jhanak seems to be losing its core, and the audience is not impressed. Let’s break down what’s going wrong—through the lens of the latest episodes and behind-the-scenes shifts.
1. Forced Marriage Leaves Viewers Cold
In Episode 576, Rishi agrees to marry Jhanak under village pressure. Instead of being a grand romantic moment, it plays out as a reluctant compromise. Jeet’s manipulative move—gifting Ishani an old photo—adds bitterness rather than sentiment.
2. Rainy Separation Lacks Emotional Punch
Episode 574 gives us a cliched rain delay with Jhanak sending off Rishi. The scene tries to evoke emotion, but Pihu rejecting Ishani’s care is the only moment that lands—sadly underused.
3. Jhanak’s Sudden Shift Feels Disjointed
By Episode 573, Jhanak is already dreaming of Kolkata studies while Jeet’s passive-aggressive jabs at Ishani add tension. But there’s no proper buildup—just scattered transitions.
4. Emotional Highs Don’t Stick
Episode 572 brings Utsav emotions as Jhanak treats Rishi’s injuries and Putul sings—but the highs don’t linger. The pacing is rushed, and the emotional impact fades quickly.
5. Overused Wedding Drama
By Episode 571, Arshi’s outrage over alcohol at a wedding becomes another generic family spat. Pihu insulting Ishani feels forced, not fiery.
6. Rishi Hiding for Parasar—Again?
Episode 570 shows Rishi risking it all for Parasar, with Pihu rejecting Ishani again. Jhanak suddenly declares she wants to be a police officer—an oddly timed career move.
7. Reveal Lacks Firepower
In Episode 569, the big “Rishi is a cop” moment lacks build-up. Ishani’s worries for Pihu are more interesting, but sidelined.
8. The New Triangle Feels Tacked On
The introduction of Twinkle Arora as the third angle feels more like a TRP ploy than a narrative need. Love triangles only work when all corners are compelling—here, the chemistry isn’t cooking yet.
9. Slot Change Hits Hard
The time slot shift to make room for Kabhi Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is a silent killer. Viewers struggle to keep up, and many didn’t even know when Jhanak would air next.
10. Leads Lack Chemistry—for Now
Arjit Taneja and Riya Sharma are both talented, but their pairing hasn’t clicked yet. It’s too early to judge fully, but audiences are impatient—and the show doesn’t have much time to win them over.
11. Plotlines Are Circling, Not Moving
From Nutan’s flashbacks to Aniruddha to repetitive “will-they-won’t-they” tropes, Jhanak is spinning in circles. Even dramatic moments like Smita’s hospital scenes and family tensions feel recycled.
🕰️ What Needs to Change?
- The writing needs sharper emotional beats—less clutter, more soul.
- The new leads need stronger, focused scenes to build their bond.
- TRP gimmicks like forced triangles or rain-soaked departures need to be replaced with real storytelling.
Jhanak still has time to redeem itself, but the clock is ticking. The audience wants connection, not confusion. Unless the makers recalibrate fast, the calls for closure might grow louder than ever.
