‘Fabulous Actors But Worst Storyline’: Jhanak Fans Unhappy With Upcoming Twist
The developments have left fans disheartened, particularly after the official confirmation of Jhanak and Anirudh’s separation ahead of the forthcoming generation leap.
Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja’s show Jhanak has consistently engaged viewers with its intriguing twists and maintained a loyal audience. However, fans of the popular television serial have expressed widespread disappointment and anger after the producers confirmed that both Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja will be exiting the show as it prepares for a dramatic generation leap. Ahead of this major change, the makers released a new promo on the show’s official social media handle.
The recently released promo on Star Plus offered a preview of the show’s future. The developments have left viewers upset, especially with the confirmation that the beloved on-screen pair Jhanak and Anirudh will be separated prior to the upcoming generation leap.
In the promo, Jhanak (played by Hiba Nawab) is shown dreaming of a happy life with Anirudh (Krushal Ahuja) and their two children. But the dream swiftly turns into a harsh reality as their family gets torn apart. The clip shows Jhanak with a newborn, while Anirudh lives separately with their daughter. Both characters are seen missing each other while living apart, bearing deep emotions in silence.
After the promo was shared, it sparked a barrage of negative reactions from fans who had hoped for a reunion and a stable romance between Jhanak and Anirudh. Many took to the comments section to voice their frustration with the show’s recurring plot device of keeping the lead pair apart.
One fan commented, “Bestest jodi, awesome chemistry. Krushi’s emotional scene was amazing but the worst story writing. We want to see you together in the beautiful love story… vaise bhi is show se hume kuch nahi mila…”
“Fabulous actors, but the worst storyline ever. We wanted to see Jhanak as a progressing lady and Ani and Jhanak stay together,” another fan wrote, echoing many others.
An account added, “How many more dhokas do you have in store for us? Why does it always happen to us? What did we do wrong? There has to be a limit.”
“What a fantastic line… ‘Jinke kismat mein tha milna likha.’ Arrey aaplogon ne unke kismat mein kabhi milna likha hi nahin!!! (You haven’t written their meeting ever),” a user remarked.
Another viewer said, “@hibanawab & @krushalahuja9 gave it all to this show. Unfortunately, makers and channels did not. Such a shame. I hope KrusHi’s pair gets repeated again in some other show. So much potential and chemistry but all wasted.”
The talented cast of Jhanak includes Hiba Nawab, Krushal Ahuja, Chandni Sharma and Dolly Sohi in prominent roles. As the show prepares for a 20-year generation leap, the lead actors will be replaced — a change that many fans say they will deeply miss.
