Nutan Faces Insults, Parashar Steps In, Apu’s Health Worsens:
The episode of Jhanak 4 May 2025 Written Update starts with a storm brewing, both in the weather and in the lives of the characters. Nutan arrives at Sethji’s shop in a village to deliver ten baskets she made. She asks for materials to make more baskets so she can return to her village before night. The storm outside worries her, as it might make her journey home tough. Sethji and his workers, including a rude employee named Hemu, question Nutan about her life with Parashar, a local leader. They ask if Parashar is the father of her baby, which makes Nutan angry. She tells them to mind their own business and focus on her work. The village has strict rules, and Hemu says Nutan must follow them since she’s not in the city anymore. Nutan warns him not to cross his limits, showing her strength.
Sethji checks the baskets and says they are okay but refuses to pay Nutan for them now. He tells her to bring twenty baskets next time, and only then will he pay half the amount. Hemu mocks Nutan, saying Parashar doesn’t earn and she must work hard to feed herself. Nutan feels insulted and warns Hemu to stop his cheap talk, or she’ll tell Parashar she doesn’t feel safe. Hemu keeps taunting her, even questioning if the baby is Parashar’s. Furious, Nutan slaps Hemu and scolds everyone for staying quiet while he insults her. She asks if they would stay silent if someone treated their family this way. Sethji tries to calm things down and tells Nutan to go home, promising to send the materials later. Nutan leaves, determined to handle her battles alone.
Meanwhile, Hemu is angry about the slap and vows to teach Nutan a lesson. Sethji warns him not to cause trouble, as it could harm their business, but Hemu doesn’t care. He feels Sethji only thinks about money and not their honor. Hemu covers his face with a cloth and follows Nutan into the stormy night, planning to confront her. As Nutan walks home, the storm grows stronger, and she worries about her safety. She decides not to tell Parashar about the incident, as it might create more problems. She thinks about her past struggles and how she’s always fought her battles alone.
Elsewhere, Parashar feels a strange pull toward Nutan. He wonders why he’s going to Sethji’s shop himself instead of sending someone else. He reminds himself that Nutan is not his wife, though people assume she is. Parashar vows to protect Nutan from harm, even as he battles his feelings. Back in the village, Nutan senses danger as Hemu pushes her, but Parashar arrives just in time, ready to face the trouble.
In another storyline, Srishti and Vinayak argue about their daughters, Arshi and Jhanak. Srishti tries to call Arshi, but the network fails. She tells Vinayak that Aniruddh, Arshi’s husband, refuses to share a room with her because of her past mistakes. Vinayak is fed up with Srishti’s lies and says Arshi is now just her shadow, not his concern. He accuses Srishti of ignoring Jhanak, their other daughter, calling her a mistake. Srishti admits she used Jhanak to care for Arshi but blames Jhanak for causing harm. Vinayak vows to find Jhanak and give her the respect she deserves as his daughter, not a servant. Srishti, furious, promises to destroy Jhanak before Vinayak can save her. She learns from Kul Bhushan that Jhanak is in a remote village and plans to confront her.
At the same time, Apu is sick and lies in bed with a high fever. Lalon, who loves her deeply, sits by her side, urging her to rest. Apu feels light, as if she’s floating toward the sky, and talks about death. She tells Lalon she’ll watch him from the stars and asks him to marry Kajol, who also loves him, after she’s gone. Lalon is heartbroken and refuses to accept her words, insisting she’ll get better. Apu shares her dreams of singing with Lalon, building a house for her mother, and helping the poor. She worries about her family, especially her mother Anuradha and sister Jimli, and asks Lalon to stay strong for them. Lalon promises to protect her and begs her not to leave him, as the storm outside mirrors their emotional turmoil. Previous Episode
Review
This episode of Jhanak is full of drama and emotions, capturing the struggles of family and honor. Nutan’s bold stand against Hemu’s insults shows her strength and self-respect, making her a relatable character. The tension between Srishti and Vinayak adds depth to the story, highlighting their broken bond and differing values. Apu and Lalon’s scenes are touching, as Apu’s illness brings out their deep love and fear of loss. The stormy setting mirrors the characters’ inner conflicts, adding a gripping atmosphere. However, the episode feels heavy with multiple storylines, and some scenes, like Hemu’s repetitive taunts, drag on. The cliffhanger with Parashar arriving to save Nutan keeps viewers hooked for the next episode.
Next Episode Prediction
The next episode will likely show Parashar confronting Hemu to protect Nutan, possibly leading to a bigger village conflict. Nutan might reveal more about her past and her connection to the baby, causing tension with Parashar. Srishti will probably head to the village to find Jhanak, setting up a dramatic face-off. Vinayak may start his search for Jhanak, creating more family drama. Apu’s health could worsen, pushing Lalon to take her to a hospital despite her refusal. Kajol might step in to support Lalon, hinting at their future bond. The storm will likely play a big role, adding danger and suspense to everyone’s plans.
