Television actor Anupam Bhattacharya is all set to make a powerful comeback to the small screen with Jhanak’s spin off Ishani, airing on StarPlus and streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. Best known for his memorable role in Ishq Subhanallah, Anupam returns after a five-year hiatus to play Shashwat, the husband of Ishani (played by Megha Chakraborty), in this popular family drama.
His character enters during a crucial narrative shift introduced in June 2025, as the show transitions into a fresh generational storyline inspired by the Bengali series Ishti Kutum. Anupam’s return brings emotional maturity and depth, portraying a man navigating layered family dynamics and personal challenges.
Jhanak, which originally premiered in November 2023, features Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja in its early phase, with Arjit Taneja and Riya Sharma now leading as adult Jhanak and Rishi. The show’s blend of tradition, identity, and modern struggles continues to strike a chord with audiences.
Produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures under Leena Gangopadhyay and Saibal Banerjee, Jhanak is known for its emotionally rich storytelling, soulful music, and strong performances. Anupam’s entry adds gravitas to the ensemble cast, enhancing the dramatic tension and furthering character arcs.
This comeback marks not just Anupam’s return, but also a reflection of the evolving television space—where seasoned actors bring layered storytelling to life. With Jhanak, Anupam Bhattacharya reclaims his space in the spotlight, promising a performance filled with intensity, sensitivity, and heart.
