In today’s episode, the scene opens with Manohar sharing a heartfelt story with Anupama about his first experience dancing. He reminisces about the joy it brought him and proudly highlights his achievements over the years. As he speaks about his children, Anupama’s emotions swell, and she can’t help but feel a deep connection to his words. Manohar notices her emotional response and asks her what is troubling her. Anupama replies that he is incredibly fortunate to have such wonderful children. Manohar agrees, expressing his gratitude for having raised kids with strong values. Inspired by their conversation, Anupama resolves to help Manohar in any way she can.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere shifts as Hasmuk confronts Paritosh, questioning him about why he demanded money from Raja. Leela, who has been listening, chimes in, emphasizing that Paritosh already has a job, so there’s no reason for him to take money from others. Kinjal interjects, revealing that Paritosh is actually jobless, and she accuses him of squandering money on card games. Hasmuk is taken aback by this revelation, and in a moment of anger, Leela slaps Paritosh. He defensively claims that he has been trying to find work but has been unsuccessful. Kinjal, frustrated, retorts that Paritosh always plays the victim, even when he is in the wrong.
The tension escalates as Kinjal suggests that Paritosh should leave the house. Paritosh, filled with defiance, asserts that one day he will become a successful businessman. Kinjal counters that if Anupama were present, she would have thrown him out long ago. Paritosh, feeling cornered, tells Kinjal not to try to emulate Anupama. Pari, witnessing the exchange, warns Paritosh to stay away from the Kotharis and Raja, recognizing the negative influence they have on him.
In a different setting, Tarun visits Manohar, who is initially pleased to see him. However, Tarun quickly pushes him away, leaving Anupama feeling sympathetic towards Manohar’s plight. Kinjal, aware of the ongoing tensions, apologizes to Pari on Paritosh’s behalf. Pari expresses her longing for Anupama to return home, although she also acknowledges that it might be better for her to stay away given the current circumstances. She admits feeling ashamed when the Kotharis speak ill of the Shahs, especially for Rahi, who has to endure the taunts.
Back at Manohar’s house, Tarun confronts him about selling their family home. He expresses disdain for Manohar’s profession, revealing that he has been ashamed of it his entire life. Tarun insists that Manohar should sell the house, but Manohar refuses, explaining that it holds precious memories of his late wife. Tarun coldly reminds him that their mother is gone and will not return. Anupama, standing up for Manohar, defends him, stating that he cannot be forced to sell his home.
In a shocking turn, Tarun wishes for Manohar to die so he can inherit the house. Both Manohar and Anupama are taken aback by this cruel statement. Tarun further threatens that he will not perform Manohar’s last rites if he doesn’t sell the house soon. Faced with this ultimatum, Manohar reluctantly agrees to move in with his son after selling the house. Tarun expresses his desire for his children not to feel ashamed of him like he felt ashamed of Manohar, and in a fit of rage, he destroys Manohar’s beloved trophies, leaving both Anupama and Manohar shocked and heartbroken.
In a moment of despair, Manohar reflects on the struggles parents endure to raise their children, only to be disrespected by them later. Anupama comforts him, trying to provide solace in his time of need. However, the emotional weight becomes too much for Manohar, and he collapses, falling unconscious. Anupama panics, desperately trying to revive him, but he weakly tells her to let him die, believing that his son wishes the same.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Pakhi hatches a plan to steal imported products from the Kotharis and sell them outside. Ishani encourages her to be clever about it, and Pakhi becomes determined to put her plan into action. Ishani, meanwhile, decides to go on a coffee date, seemingly oblivious to the chaos unfolding around her.
Back at Manohar’s house, the doctor arrives and asks Anupama for Manohar’s medical history to begin treatment. Anupama, feeling overwhelmed, states that she is merely a maid in his house. The doctor insists that she must quickly find the necessary details so they can start the treatment. Determined to save Manohar’s life, Anupama resolves to do whatever it takes to help him.
In a tender moment, Raja notices that Pari is feeling down. When he asks her what’s wrong, she confesses her shame over Paritosh’s behavior and how she can’t face Meeta, Vasundhara, and Khyati because of it. Raja reassures her, promising to support her and vowing never to hide anything from her again.
As Anupama rummages through Manohar’s belongings searching for his medications and prescriptions, Rahi tries to call Manohar to check if he is in Ahmedabad. Anupama, overhearing the conversation, realizes that the caller might have information that could help her. However, Tarun spots her using the landline phone from Manohar’s house, his expression darkening with suspicion.
Precap:
In a dramatic twist, Tarun files a case against Anupama, accusing her of stealing the house papers. Anupama finds herself in a desperate situation as she tries to prove her innocence, setting the stage for a fierce confrontation ahead.
