Away from the celebrations, the episode shifts focus to the emotional reunion between Dritimaan and Sanjhbati, bringing a deep and heart-touching layer to the Jhanak written update.
Sanjhbati confronts him with the questions she buried for years. Why did he leave her? Why did he let her suffer alone? Why did he let rumors of his foreign marriage reach her without ever correcting them?
Dritimaan finally admits the truth—he was insecure. He believed she deserved a life free from the pain he caused, so he escaped through silence and lies. But his attempt to protect her only left her shattered.
Sanjhbati confesses she could never truly move on. Dritimaan pulls her close, insisting that time may have passed, but they still belong to each other. She resists, reminding him that wounds don’t disappear simply because he wants them to. Yet something in her heart still draws her back to him. She returns inside with him, unable to ignore the connection that refuses to fade.
