Reports hinted at a bold creative overhaul, potentially introducing an entirely new cast, a development that left fans both curious and concerned, particularly those who have grown fond of Hiba Nawab’s powerful portrayal of the titular character, Jhanak.

However, fans can breathe a sigh of relief. According to sources close to the production, the much-talked-about narrative leap has now been postponed.

The decision to delay the revamp until after the conclusion of the IPL season was made to allow the current plot to evolve more naturally, preserving the emotional depth and character arcs that audiences have come to cherish.

Amidst the swirling rumours, one particular name caught the attention of viewers—Arjit Taneja.

Speculation was rife that the actor would be stepping in as the new male lead following the leap. But clearing the air, Arjit has firmly denied the claims.

Taking to social media, the actor addressed the rumours head-on, stating:“Guys, not doing any new show as of now. Don’t know where all these articles are coming from. Much love!”

With this confirmation, it’s clear that while fans may have looked forward to seeing Arjit in Jhanak, he has no current plans to join the series—or any new project, for that matter.

For now, Jhanak will continue with its existing narrative and cast, much to the delight of its dedicated followers.

The delay in the leap offers viewers more time to enjoy the ongoing storyline and further explore the emotional journey of the beloved characters.
