In today’s episode, the scene opens with Anupama traveling on the metro when she encounters a young girl. Curious about the girl’s family, Anupama inquires about her mother. The girl, noticing Anupama’s cheerful demeanor, asks why she seems so happy today. In response, Anupama shares a picture of Rahi, a girl she cares about deeply, hoping to reconnect with her. As the metro ride continues, Anupama’s kindness shines through when she assists an elderly man who is struggling. The man expresses his worry, stating that if he doesn’t deliver his tiffins, he might lose his job. Empathetic to his plight, Anupama readily agrees to help him, showcasing her selflessness and willingness to support others.
Meanwhile, Hasmuk and Prarthana are busy promoting Yoga Day, emphasizing its importance to the family. Leela, ever the traditionalist, questions Prarthana about her yoga practice, warning her that her family will not spare her if she skips it. Amidst this, Ansh chimes in, reminding everyone that today is Prarthana’s first sonography appointment. Prarthana, taken aback, asks how he knows this detail. Ansh reveals that he received a reminder from Prarthana’s mobile, which brings a wave of emotion over her. She starts to feel anxious, realizing that she might have to go to the appointment alone, without any support. Leela, sensing Prarthana’s distress, advises her not to take Ansh with her, reminding her that the child is not his, which adds to Prarthana’s emotional turmoil.
Back at the metro station, Manohar is waiting for Anupama. When she finally arrives, she explains that she was helping the old man. Manohar expresses his gratitude, pleased to see Anupama’s compassionate nature. As they converse, Anupama silently reflects on her hope for Rahi’s forgiveness, feeling a deep longing to mend their relationship. Meanwhile, Manohar decides to focus on his teaching duties, eager to impart knowledge to his students.
As the day progresses, Rahi unexpectedly bumps into Ansh and Prarthana. Ansh, feeling a mix of disappointment and concern, questions Rahi about her absence, asking why she hasn’t visited or kept in touch. Rahi curtly responds that she has a lot on her plate. Ansh, trying to understand, asks why she doesn’t seek help from the house staff. Rahi dismisses his suggestion, claiming that everyone is too busy. Ansh then makes a comparison between Rahi and Anupama, which offends Rahi deeply. She retorts sharply, suggesting that Ansh could have chosen a less derogatory comparison. Mahi, observing the interaction from a distance, watches the tension unfold between them.
Later, Manohar engages in a conversation with his son, showing interest in Anupama’s children. However, Anupama avoids the question, choosing instead to silently pray for her children’s well-being, highlighting her ongoing struggles as a mother. Meanwhile, Paritosh is seen discussing his friend Raja with his peers, where one of them proposes a startup idea. Intrigued by the suggestion, Paritosh decides to invest, excited about the potential opportunity.
In a lighter moment, Manohar attempts to teach Anupama some dance moves. However, she accidentally performs a dance in front of him, catching Manohar off guard. Surprised by her unexpected talent, he encourages her to embrace it, but Anupama, feeling restless and uncomfortable, declines to learn any further, revealing her reluctance to engage in dance.
Elsewhere, Rahi is confronted by Parag, who urges her to start working on the academy soon. Rahi expresses her concerns about balancing her responsibilities at home with her work commitments, but Parag reassures her, encouraging her to pursue her dreams. Just then, Vasundhara interrupts their conversation. Rahi confides in her that if she struggles to manage both work and home, she may have to quit dancing altogether. Vasundhara, ever critical, taunts Rahi, suggesting that she will end up blaming her family just like Anupama did. Rahi, feeling dejected, offers to help Vasundhara, but she is brusquely pushed away. Parag, sensing the tension, tells Rahi to go inside, trying to diffuse the situation.
Meanwhile, Pakhi is seen asking Ishani to test some beauty products. Ishani, suspicious, questions why Pakhi has stolen the products from the parlor. Pakhi brushes off her concerns, urging her not to overthink it and simply use the products, revealing a more mischievous side to her character.
Later, Anupama returns home only to find Bharti and Mangesh embroiled in a heated argument. Bharti adamantly refuses to return to Mangesh, who pleads with Anupama to convince her to come back. As Anupama listens, memories of her own tumultuous past with Vanraj flood her mind. The situation escalates when Mangesh begins to misbehave with Bharti, prompting Anupama, alongside Sarita, to intervene. They threaten Mangesh, warning him to leave Bharti alone or face serious consequences. Sarita assures Bharti of her unwavering support, reinforcing the bond between the women. Grateful for Anupama’s intervention, Bharti thanks her for standing by her side during this difficult time.
As the episode concludes, the tension between the characters remains palpable, setting the stage for further developments in their intertwined lives.
