"I want to do a comedy show," he revealed, hinting at a fun and refreshing turn in his career.

Starring Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja in lead roles, the show instantly became a fan favorite due to its interesting storyline and the amazing acting mettle of the actors. The show often ranked in the top 5 and received immense applause from the viewers.

Apart from Hiba, Krushal and Kunal Verma, Jhanak also stars Chandni Sharma, Dolly Sohi and more in lead roles.
