Hiba Nawab, Krushal Ahuja starrer Jhanak sparks controversy; netizens accuse makers of using colour on newborn, demand stern action |

Jhanak, starring Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja, continues to dominate headlines. For those unfamiliar, the show premiered in 2023. Since then, it has dominated the TRP charts. Fans have been visibly thrilled by both the plot and the faultless performances. The show recently made waves when its creators announced a new season due to low viewership. The plan was that after the leap, Hiba, Krushal, and a few other performers would leave, allowing new faces to appear. However, the leap was cancelled, and the show is back on schedule with its original cast.
According to the most recent narrative, Arshi is pregnant with Aniruddha’s child. She had an accident and is brought to the hospital despite being in critical condition. She delivers the baby, but Arshi’s life appears to be in jeopardy. Jhanak and Aniruddha are anxious about Arshi.
Chandni Sharma has now published a behind-the-scenes video on social media. The video shows Chandni in the hospital for the birth scenario. The scene depicts Chandni delivering the baby. However, netizens are shocked after a video surfaced, showing a newborn infant being held while its body is painted red.
It’s uncertain if the infant is real or not. But it appears to be real since the baby’s feet move. People are astounded by how the producers handled the infant and added colour to its body. Netizens have asked that the creators be held accountable for mistreating the newborn in the series.
A user wrote, “@MoHFW_INDIA It seems an infant is being handled this carelessly on a serial set, chemical makeup being applied on the baby, the way the baby is held, if this isn’t criminal negligence, I don’t know what is. Please look into the issue ASAP.” Another user wrote, “Idk if baby is real, I hope it isn’t. But if the case needs to be registered. These Itv people are being wayy to comfortbale with showing all type of shit. Also, they exploit young girls by making them romance guys double their age, ab baccho tak ko nahi chord rahe. Hadh hain.”

Hiba Nawab’s Jhanak, produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures, is a rough version of the Bengali serial Jol Nupur and Guddi.
