In today’s episode, we find Anupama on her daily commute, riding the metro when she notices a young girl selling colorful bindis. The girl appears visibly emotional, and Anupama, ever compassionate, approaches her to inquire about the reason for her distress. The girl explains that she is preparing for an important exam but is also trying to market her products to support her studies. Unfortunately, she shares her disappointment, stating that very few people are interested in buying her bindis; instead, most just pass by, treating her efforts as a mere distraction rather than a serious endeavor.
Moved by the girl’s plight, Anupama decides to step in and offer her assistance. She takes it upon herself to sell hair accessories on the girl’s behalf, hoping to attract more customers. As she begins to engage with the commuters, a lady nearby notices Anupama’s efforts and inquires whether she has started a new business. Anupama explains her motivation, detailing how the girl’s academic performance is being jeopardized by her entrepreneurial efforts. She emphasizes her desire to help the girl succeed in both her studies and her small business venture. With Anupama’s support, the hair accessories start to sell, and she reflects on her own past experiences with Anuj, feeling a sense of nostalgia.
As Anupama continues her endeavor, she receives a phone call that reinforces her belief that her good deed is being rewarded. She feels a sense of divine intervention, thinking that her willingness to help the girl has brought her unexpected fortune.
Meanwhile, the scene shifts to Kinjal, who is taken aback upon entering Pakhi’s messy room. She confronts Pakhi, asking what she is doing there and expressing her frustration over the laziness displayed by both Pakhi and Ishani. Pakhi, feeling defensive, tells Kinjal to stop lecturing her. The conversation escalates when Pakhi brings up Ishani’s past relationship, blaming her for the circumstances that led to Pari marrying Raja. Kinjal, however, counters that Pari and Raja were meant to be together, wishing that Ishani finds a suitable partner soon. Pakhi, dismissive, asserts that even if Kinjal doesn’t pray for Ishani, she will end up marrying someone wealthy. She then reveals her plans to move in with Ishani after her own marriage, further irritating Kinjal. Kinjal urges Pakhi to clean up the room, to which Pakhi retorts, accusing her of trying to emulate Anupama’s behavior.
Back at the hospital, Ansh is deeply worried about Prarthana’s condition. Hasmuk tries to calm him down, but Ansh’s concern only grows when he learns that Prarthana has been admitted. He rushes to her side, determined to be there for her during this difficult time.
Meanwhile, Anupama has successfully sold the hair accessories and hands the money over to the girl, who is overwhelmed with gratitude. A woman in the metro praises Anupama for her kindness, further uplifting her spirits.
As the narrative unfolds, Ansh finally reaches Prarthana and expresses his desire to take her home, even threatening to leave the house with her if necessary. Leela, observing Ansh’s protective behavior, becomes anxious, worried that he is becoming overly attached to Prarthana as if the baby were his own.
Anupama arrives at the Pawar house, where she is warmly welcomed by the lady of the house. She sets about preparing traditional Gujarati dishes for the guests, following the instructions given to her. While cooking, she learns that Anil and Prem will be among the guests, and a thought crosses her mind that Rahi might also be visiting. Anupama’s heart sinks as she recalls that Rahi has made it clear she does not wish to see her.
In another part of the house, Mahi is anxiously waiting for Prem to answer her calls. When Vasundhara finds her in the kitchen, Mahi expresses her frustration about Rahi enrolling in a dance course, questioning who will manage the household responsibilities. Vasundhara reminds her that Mahi is also capable of cooking and managing the house. Mahi, feeling cornered, insists that her job takes precedence. Vasundhara warns Mahi not to manipulate her against Rahi or interfere in the relationship between Rahi and Prem. Mahi, stunned by Vasundhara’s words, realizes that her aspirations to take over the office may be thwarted due to her mother’s influence.
As Anupama prepares the meal, she becomes anxious, wondering if Prem will recognize her through the flavors of the food she is cooking. Meanwhile, Ansh suggests that Prarthana take a leave of absence from her responsibilities to focus on her health. Prarthana, however, insists that she cannot afford to do so, leading Ansh to encourage her to file a police complaint about her situation. Grateful for his support, Prarthana acknowledges the suggestion but Ansh remains concerned about her future.
Anupama learns more about Prem’s struggles, discovering that he gave up his passion after Parag’s departure from the business. She also finds out that Khyati is dealing with her own trauma, and her heart aches for Prem and his family. As he tastes the food she has prepared, memories of Anupama flood back to him, stirring emotions he thought he had buried.
In the upcoming scenes, Anupama grapples with the decision to leave the Pawar house before Prem recognizes her. The tension builds as Prem recalls Anupama after sampling her cooking, setting the stage for an intense confrontation between the two.
