The popular show Jhanak, which has been a fixture in Indian television for years, is gearing up for a dramatic 20-year leap. This major shift in the storyline promises fresh faces, new dynamics, and a redefined narrative, as the show aims to capture the attention of its audience once again. The current cast, including the much-loved Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja, will bid farewell after the leap, marking the end of an era for Jhanak.
The decision to introduce a generation leap has generated mixed reactions from fans. Some are thrilled, particularly Hiba and Krushal’s supporters, who are excited for the duo to explore new opportunities. On social media, fans are voicing their thoughts on the leap, with many expressing their support for the actors. One fan posted on X, “Finally… #KrushalAhuja is leaving this kachra….he deserves far good things….hope to see him soon in a project where he’s respected!” A sentiment echoed by many, as Krushal and Hiba have garnered a loyal following who admire their performances.
Others, however, are more skeptical about the leap’s impact on the show’s future. Some viewers feel that Jhanak’s audience tunes in primarily for Hiba and Krushal’s chemistry, and without them, the show may lose its charm. One fan commented, “Inhe kya lagta hai 20 saal ka leap laakar inke show ki TRP bhad jaayegi? Inhe abhi tak ye samajh nhi aaya, inka show audience dekhti hai to wo Hiba aur Krushal ki wajah se.” The sentiment reflects concerns that the upcoming changes may not be enough to revive the show’s TRP, which currently stands at a modest 1.4.
The much-needed leap is expected to inject new energy into the storyline, but whether it will have the desired impact on TRP remains uncertain. With the new faces and narrative direction, the show aims to target a broader audience. However, this move comes with the risk of alienating loyal fans who have followed Jhanak for years, particularly those who are invested in the characters of Hiba and Krushal.
In another twist, Shiny Doshi reportedly turned down the offer to replace Hiba Nawab, signaling that the show is yet to find the right fit for its new characters. Fans are eagerly awaiting the reveal of the new cast and what direction the show will take in this post-leap phase.
As the countdown to the leap begins, there’s palpable excitement about what the future holds for Jhanak. The show’s fate post-leap will depend largely on how well the new characters and storyline are received. Will the leap bring the boost in TRP that the producers hope for? Or will it signal the end of Jhanak’s reign on television? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more updates as the leap draws closer.
