Jhanak Leap Exclusive: Once a chart-topping show on Star Plus, Jhanak made a powerful debut in November 2023 and quickly won hearts with its compelling narrative and the lead pair's gripping chemistry. Starring Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja as Jhanak and Anirudh, the drama initially soared in the TRP rankings, gaining attention for its storyline and emotional depth.

However, in recent months, Jhanak has witnessed a decline in ratings, slipping out of the top five most-watched Hindi TV shows. This unexpected dip has sparked concern among fans and the creative team alike. Despite the makers introducing multiple plot twists and even a significant time leap to refresh the storyline, the efforts haven't yielded the desired impact.

In response to the slipping viewership, the show's team is now reportedly exploring new strategies to regain audience interest. From dramatic turns to potential cast changes, Jhanak is set to witness a generation leap in the coming weeks. Yes, you read that right!

HIBA NAWAB, KRUSHA AHUJA TO EXIT JHANAK AFTER GENERATION LEAP?

The long-speculated generation leap in Star Plus' drama Jhanak is back in the news. Earlier this year, the show's makers had confirmed a leap, with several cast members, including leads Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja, reportedly set to exit. But just when fans were bracing for a major shift, the plan was unexpectedly put on hold due to IPL.

Instead, the show introduced a shorter leap with a new Bihar backdrop, temporarily diverting attention from the larger change. But it seems that the creative team hasn't shelved the generational leap altogether.

According to the latest update, the leap is now likely to unfold after the conclusion of IPL 2025. Insiders reveal that the casting process for the new generation is already underway. In fact, Pandya Store fame Shiny Doshi was approached to step into Hiba Nawab's shoes as the new female lead, she has turned down the offer.

Amid all this, Filmibeat has exclusively got to know that the makers are considering three popular names to replace Krushal Ahuja as the male lead post leap.
