EXCLUSIVE : After Taara, Star Plus set to axe longest running show Jhanak post IPL 2026

By Gossips TV : Star Plus is set to axe yet another show by Leena Gangopadhyay. As we know, Taara starring Krushal Ahuja and Kanika Kapur is currently on its notice period and is likely to end by the end of May. Now, we hear that Jhanak is also set to bid adieu to the audience after a long run.

According to reports, Star Plus has decided to end Jhanak, one of the longest-running shows on the channel currently, and the makers have already received an official notification regarding the same. The development has reportedly been communicated internally, indicating that the team has begun preparing for the show’s conclusion in the coming weeks.

The show has been delivering decent TRP numbers despite airing in the late-night 11:30 pm slot, which is considered a challenging time band. However, it appears that the channel is focusing on revamping its programming strategy after IPL 2026 concludes. Star Plus has been facing tough competition and fluctuating ratings, prompting the need for fresh content and a stronger lineup.

Jhanak, starring Rajveer Singh and Riya Sharma in lead roles, has managed to build a loyal viewer base over time. Its expected exit will mark the end of one of the channel’s longest-running ongoing shows.

The show will most likely wrap up post IPL 2026, although an official confirmation from the channel and the makers is still awaited.
