Jhanak: Star Plus’s Sleeper Hit Still Has Swagger—Time to Double Down!

 Hold onto the remote, because Jhanak is serving up drama with a spicy twist, and Star Plus should definitely invest more into this fiery fan-favorite! With a solid 1.5 TVR in its 10:30 PM slot, Jhanak is outshining newer shows like Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad and Jaadu Teri Nazar  which are still trying to find their footing.

The recent generation leap has shaken things up, positioning *Jhanak* to maintain its crown—but it all depends on whether the channel plays its cards right and fans support the new dynamics. This leap introduces Riya Sharma and Arjit Taneja as the new leads, creating a whirlwind of buzz. While some loyal fans still cherish the original chemistry between Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja—the duo that snagged the Star Parivaar Awards 2024 for Best Pair—the new cast, supported by talents like Ashlesha Sawant and Sumeet Sachdev, is ready to rewrite the script.

There's a lively debate on social media, with fans caught between nostalgia for the original pair and curiosity about the revamped storyline. However, *Jhanak*’s dedicated viewership proves it’s more vibrant than a monsoon mango. 

In comparison, Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad, which is still struggling with its identity under stars Abrar Qazi and Afia Tayebali, and Jaadu Teri Nazar, which narrowly avoided being taken off the air thanks to Arjit Taneja’s strong rebuttal on social media, are still finding their way. In contrast, Jhanak* emerges as the safer bet. Star Plus should amplify the excitement—think bolder promos, more in-depth character arcs, and perhaps some fan-driven hashtag campaigns to maintain that electric buzz.

The show’s emotional core and devoted fanbase are its secret ingredients, especially in light of viewership dips in heavyweight competitors like Anupamaa* and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai If you're aiming for that top spot, *Jhanak* has the potential to get there.

Fans, it’s time to rally! Flood the Star Plus and *Jhanak* social media channels with love for the new leads—trend #Jhanak, maybe throw in a #BringBackKrushi for nostalgia, and keep the excitement alive. Star Plus, take note: this show has the spark to outshine the newcomers. So, boost the budget, enhance the drama, and allow *Jhanak* to shine! What’s your take—are you ready to support the new cast, or are you still holding on to the originals?
