Arijit Taneja just moonwalked outta Jhanak, leavin’ fans shook! Word is he wasn’t totally miserable, just jugglin’ too many gigs. Can this Star Plus banger keep droppin’ hits with yet another cast remix, or is it about to ghost the charts?
The Exit: A Smooth Dip, Not a Drama BombArijit rolled into Jhanak mid-2025 as Rishi, the slick cop, after a wild 20-year leap that yeeted OGs like Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja. Rockin’ it with Riya Sharma (new Jhanak) and Twinkle Arora (the shady queen), he brought that Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye sauce. Back in May, he was like, “Nah, I’m chillin’,” tweetin’ no new gigs, but then hopped on anyway, callin’ the story “gut-punch vibes.”Now, as of September 28, 2025, he’s outtie! No beef, though—dude’s statement was all, “Rishi was a blast, but I got prior commitments, so we hugged it out and split.” Producers backed it, big-uppin’ his work. Unhappy 24/7? Nah, that’s cap. He clapped back at haters in July when Jhanak faced an off-air scare (it just swapped slots for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2), droppin’ bars about it savin’ 150+ jobs. Sounds like a pro bouncin’ for his next bag, not a diva tantrum.Can Jhanak Keep the Groove?Bet it can, but it’s gotta keep the beat tight. This is cast shake-up #3 (OGs gone in June, now Arijit), and Jhanak’s still dancin’ through leaps and slot switches. They just cranked episodes from 30 to 45 minutes to milk that fan love—callin’ it a “grand glow-up” for max drama and swoony vibes. Rajvir Singh (Teri Meri Doriyaann fame) is slidin’ into Rishi’s kicks, with the team hypin’ a “wild, heart-tuggin’” arc.TRP tea? It’s been a rollercoaster: pre-leap, it hit 4.0 (top 4, Nov 2024). Post-leap (June 2025), it slumped to 1.8 (9th in Jan) and yo-yoed at 1.4-2.0, fightin’ IPL noise and heavyweights like Anupamaa (2.5+), Yeh Rishta (2.3), and Udne Ki Aasha (2.4). Fans whined about missin’ the old squad, but it’s holdin’ at 5th/6th (1.5-1.8, Week 21). That 45-min flex could pull fams back for Dussehra. No cancellation vibes—the July scare was just a slot shuffle.
Final Jam: Jhanak’s got nine lives and keepin’ it funky. Arijit’s exit stings (his fire was lit), but Rajvir’s ready to spark. If the romance pops off without backstage shade, it’ll stay a bop. Survival odds? Straight-up high, but we’ll see if Riya and Rajvir bring the heat. Who you think should’ve snagged Rishi’s spot? Drop the tea!
Phase | Squad | Avg TRP (2025) | Chart Rank | Vibe Check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Pre-Leap (Jan-May) | Hiba Nawab, Krushal Ahuja | 2.0-4.0 | Top 4-9 | Started hot, cooled before leap. |
Post-Leap (June-Aug) | Arijit Taneja, Riya Sharma, Twinkle Arora | 1.4-1.8 | 5th-9th | Kept it 100, but IPL and rivals stung. Slot switch saved it. |
Now (Sep onward, est.) | Rajvir Singh, Riya Sharma | 1.5+ (proj.) | Top 10? | 45-min banger could hit 2.0 if the sauce is right. |
