Jhanak is an Indian Hindi-language television drama series that premiered on StarPlus on 20 November 2023 and streams digitally on Disney+ Hotstar. Produced under Magic Moments Motion Pictures, it is inspired by the Star Jalsha Bengali series Jol Nupur. The series originally starred Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja in the lead roles.

Since June 2025, the show features Riya Sharma in the titular role as Jhanak (the daughter of Jhanak, previously portrayed by Hiba Nawab), along with Arjit Taneja and Twinkle Arora. The second-generation storyline is a loose adaptation of Star Jalsha's Bengali series Ishti Kutum.

The show also featured Megha Chakraborty as Ishani in a parallel storyline. Following the positive response to Ishani's storyline, it was developed into a standalone series titled Ishani, which started premiering from 3 July 2025 and was ended on 27 October 2025 due to low TRPs.
