In today’s gripping episode, the tension escalates as Paritosh and Raghav work tirelessly to locate Ansh, who has gone missing under suspicious circumstances. Raghav’s instincts lead him to suspect that Gautam is behind Ansh’s kidnapping, a theory that Paritosh reluctantly agrees with. However, both men are acutely aware that without solid proof, their suspicions are merely conjecture.
As the plot thickens, the kidnappers unceremoniously throw Ansh in front of the Shah family’s house, leaving everyone in a state of panic and concern. The Shahs gather around, their faces etched with worry for Ansh’s well-being. Rahi, in particular, is deeply affected, her heart racing as she fears for her brother. Vasundhara examines Ansh’s condition and grimly reports that he has been beaten black and blue. Parag, filled with rage, vows that once he discovers the culprits behind this heinous act, he will not spare them. Meanwhile, Gautam, lurking in the shadows, revels in his perceived victory, believing he has successfully incapacitated Ansh. Rahi’s suspicions about Gautam’s involvement grow stronger, and Prem echoes her concerns, albeit reminding her that they lack concrete evidence.
In the midst of this turmoil, Vasundhara announces that Aryan’s engagement will be postponed, a decision that weighs heavily on the family. Prarthana, fueled by anger, confronts Gautam directly. In a chilling exchange, Gautam admits to being responsible for Ansh’s condition, threatening Prarthana that if she doesn’t withdraw the divorce proceedings, he will unleash his wrath on everyone close to her, including Anupama. Prarthana, horrified, calls Gautam evil, but he merely mocks her, confident that she won’t be able to prove anything against him.
The tension reaches a boiling point when Anupama storms into the Kothari mansion, her fury palpable as she confronts Gautam for harming Ansh. Memories flood back as she recalls Ansh’s earlier warning about Gautam being involved in the kidnapping. In a fit of rage, Anupama slaps Gautam and delivers a fierce warning, her protective instincts as a mother surging to the forefront. Rahi and Prem express their gratitude, acknowledging that Anupama has done what they wished they could have done. Prarthana, feeling empowered by Anupama’s actions, reveals that Gautam has also been threatening her. Despite Gautam’s attempts to manipulate the situation, Anupama stands firm, reiterating her warnings. Gautam, however, smirks, hinting that Anupama should brace herself for the consequences of her actions, suggesting a surprise that awaits her.
The scene shifts dramatically as Anupama returns home, only to be devastated to find that a fire has broken out at Anu Ki Rasoi, her beloved kitchen. Overwhelmed by the thought of losing everything she has worked for, she faints from shock. Meanwhile, Gautam watches from a distance, delighting in the chaos he has caused, plotting his next moves against Prem and Rahi.
Regaining consciousness, Anupama frantically tells the Shahs about her nightmare of the kitchen burning. She immediately asks Hasmuk if the kitchen is safe, her heart racing with dread. Rushing to check, she is horrified to see the extent of the damage at Anu Ki Rasoi. Leela laments the loss, stating that they will all starve without the kitchen. Kinjal, worried about fulfilling pending orders, voices her concerns, while Pari questions why their family must always endure such hardships.
Hasmuk and Raghav urge Anupama to rest and not to worry too much, but Anupama is relentless. She questions how the fire could have broken out when she had already alerted Raghav about the kitchen’s safety. Raghav reassures her that everything was in order when he last checked, but Anupama’s suspicions about Gautam’s involvement in the fire grow stronger. Determined to confront him, she steels herself for the inevitable confrontation.
Leela, frustrated, blames Anupama for engaging in a rivalry with the Kotharis without considering the repercussions. Anupama, feeling defeated, wonders why nothing good ever seems to happen to her. Raghav, filled with concern for her well-being, vows not to let Gautam get away with his actions.
Meanwhile, Rahi and Prem are devastated to learn about the destruction of Anu Ki Rasoi. Rahi confronts Gautam, demanding answers, but he denies any wrongdoing. Vasundhara, ever the enabler, supports Gautam, further infuriating Rahi. She vows to not let Gautam escape justice if she can obtain proof of his misdeeds. In a separate conversation, Vasundhara declares Mahi inauspicious, urging Aryan to reconsider his engagement decision, pushing the family into further turmoil.
Back at home, Kinjal, Pari, and Mahi rally around Anupama, trying to console her as she breaks down, feeling that Gautam has harmed both Ansh and her beloved Rasoi out of sheer vengeance. Leela, sensing Anupama’s despair, encourages her to fight back and not let Gautam win.
In the precap, Anupama is seen asking the contractor for another chance to fulfill her orders, but he coldly demands that she meet the deadline or face legal consequences. Raghav, witnessing her determination, decides to step in and help Anupama as she prepares to meet the looming deadline, setting the stage for a fierce battle against Gautam’s relentless schemes.
