(Photo Credits: Instagram)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Jhanak, featuring Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja, is all set to undergo a dramatic generation leap. This means the beloved lead actors will bid farewell to the show, leaving fans disappointed. With this change, the makers aim to boost TRP ratings. Ever since the announcement was made, fans have been speculating about the new faces who would be replacing the lead actors.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">While names like Erica Fernandes and Zohaib Siddiqui were initially in talks, the actors who will be headlining the show have finally been confirmed. Any guesses? The latest developments reveal that the production house has locked in three leads for their serial. Filmibeat, in its report, mentioned that Arjit Taneja, Twinkle Arora, and Riya Sharma have been finalised as the new leads.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The current characters played by Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja will be shown dead following the leap. The new trio is expected to commence shooting soon, though an official announcement from the channel and production house is still awaited.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Arjit Taneja recently wrapped up shooting for Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gye, while Riya Sharma was last seen in Dhruv Tara. Twinkle Arora, on the other hand, gained recognition for her performance in Udaariyaan, where she was paired with Hitesh Bharadwaj and Vivian Dsena.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The decision to introduce a generation leap, reportedly after IPL 2025, stems from an order issued by the programming team of Star Plus to the production house to achieve a minimum TRP of 2. An industry source told Filmibeat that while Jhanak is performing well, the channel is pushing for higher numbers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cThe channel and the production house have made up their mind to introduce a generation leap after IPL 2025. Star Plus has issued a diktat to the production house to increase the ratings or shut shop. Jhanak is doing well in terms of ratings at the 10:30 pm slot; however, the channel is unhappy with the numbers. They want the show to generate at least 2 TVRs in the late-night slot. One has to consider that shows like Jaadu Teri Nazar, Anupama, and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai have also witnessed a massive drop in their viewership. It seems the channel is only focusing on Jhanak, which is a bit unfair,&#8221; reported the media outlet.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Fans now eagerly wait to see how this new generation will carry forward the intriguing narrative of Jhanak.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/chirag-mugshot-2023-11-497616095485420c6efb4b620d94357d-scaled.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/chirag-sehgal-21023.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Chirag Sehgal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chirag Sehgal works as a Sub-Editor in the Entertainment team at News18.com.
