Jhanak

Jhanak is an Indian Hindi-language television drama series that aired on StarPlus from 20 November 2023 to 31 May 2026 and streams digitally on JioHotstar. Produced under Magic Moments Motion Pictures, the series originally starred Hiba Nawab, Krushal Ahuja and Chandni Sharma in the lead roles. The story of the first generation was inspired by the Star Jalsha's Bengali series, Jol Nupur.
Since June 2025, the show featured Riya Sharma in the titular role as Jhanak (the daughter of Jhanak, previously portrayed by Hiba Nawab), along with Arjit Taneja (replaced by Rajveer Singh) and Twinkle Arora. The second-generation storyline is a loose adaptation of Star Jalsha's Bengali series, Ishti Kutum.
The show also featured Megha Chakraborty as Ishani in a parallel storyline. Following the positive response to Ishani's storyline, it was developed into a standalone series titled Ishani, which premiered from 3 July 2025 to 27 October 2025.
