Welcome back to Today, where every story inspires strength and hope. The latest chapter of Jhanak was a heartfelt journey of courage, compassion, and standing tall against injustice.
It opens with Jhanak fearlessly claiming her right to study and live in the hostel. Aayush stands by her, determined to seek justice. But things spiral when a student, under the Dean’s orders, throws bombs to stop the protest. Panic spreads across the campus, and Rishi rushes in. Seeing Aayush holding Jhanak’s hand, he steps forward protectively, his concern unmistakable.
Even amid chaos, Jhanak remains calm and courageous. She faces the reporters and explains that her battle is not political — it’s about her right to dream. “Is it a crime to want to become a doctor?” she asks, her voice breaking with emotion. The crowd answers with chants of her name, while Rishi silently wishes for her success.
Her words touch everyone’s hearts as she opens up about her struggles — losing her mother, being rejected by her father, and being treated as an outsider in the city she came to study in. All she wanted was a hostel room, yet power and prejudice stood in her way.
From her office, the Education Minister watches everything unfold and decides to act. She calls the Dean and orders him to correct his mistake. Moments later, he steps out and apologizes publicly, announcing that Jhanak has been allotted Room No. 9. The students erupt in joy, and Jhanak’s eyes glisten with pride and relief.
Soon after, she receives a call from the Minister’s PA asking her to come for a meeting. Though nervous, she shares the news with Rishi. He offers to join her, but she gently refuses. Mishti, seeing them together, decides to inform Aditi.
The Dean later praises Jhanak in front of everyone, calling her a brave example for other students. Meanwhile, Aditi grows worried, unable to reach Rishi or Mishti after hearing about the blast.
The story ends on an emotional note — Jhanak getting ready to meet the Minister while Rishi insists on accompanying her, his quiet concern leaving her to wonder what unspoken bond truly connects them.
