Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja’s starrer Jhanak has consistently captivated audiences with its intriguing twists and turns, maintaining a strong viewership. But fans of the popular Indian television show are expressing widespread disappointment and anger after the producers confirmed that both Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja will be bidding farewell to the show as it prepares for a dramatic generation leap. Prior to this dramatic change, the makers released a new promo on its official social media handle.
The recently dropped promo by Star Plus offered a glimpse into the show’s future. The developments have left fans disheartened, especially with the official confirmation of beloved on-screen couple Jhanak and Anirudh’s separation ahead of the upcoming generation leap.
In the promo, Jhanak (played by Hiba Nawab) is seen dreaming of a happy life with Anirudh (Krushal Ahuja) and their two children. However, the dream quickly fades away to a harsh reality as their family is separated. The promo shows Jhanak with a newborn, while Anirudh lives separately with their daughter. Both characters are seen missing each other while living apart, bearing heavy emotions in silence.
After this promo was shared, it ignited a storm of negative reactions from fans who have long been anticipating a reunion and a stable romance between Jhanak and Anirudh. Many took to the comments section to voice their frustration with the show’s continuous plotlines that keep the lead couple apart.
A 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, and many other netizens commented,” another fan expressed.
An account wrote, “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),” said a user.
An individual stated, “@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, lead actors will be replaced, a change that fans will deeply miss.
