In today’s episode, the scene opens with Anupama comforting Pari, who is visibly upset and blaming herself for the troubles surrounding her family. Anupama gently reassures her, emphasizing that a child has every right to make demands of their parents. She explains that parents often go to great lengths to fulfill those demands, sometimes even crossing boundaries in their efforts to please their children. Anupama acknowledges that Kinjal, Pari’s mother, made a mistake while trying to meet such demands, but she urges Pari to stop crying and reminds her that a talented student like her can shine anywhere, regardless of the current circumstances.
As the conversation continues, Anupama reflects on the dreams of middle-class parents, who often aspire to send their children abroad for higher studies. She shares how these parents sometimes take on excessive loans, sacrificing their financial stability to make their children’s dreams a reality. Anupama suggests that Kinjal might have been driven by such aspirations, which ultimately led to her current predicament. She tells Pari firmly not to blame herself, reiterating that Kinjal’s situation stems from her own mistakes, and she resolves to arrange bail for her.
However, Pari’s worry surfaces as she expresses her fears about Kinjal’s future. She asks Anupama what will happen if Kinjal, like Raghav, ends up in jail for life. Anupama, sensing her distress, calms her down and encourages her to get some sleep, promising that they will handle the situation together.
Meanwhile, Ansh approaches Anupama with a critical observation. He suggests that she should have accepted Gautam’s condition regarding Kinjal. Anupama is taken aback by this suggestion, her expression a mix of surprise and contemplation.
In another part of town, Rahi confides in Prem about her worries concerning Kinjal. She believes that if Paritosh had provided the necessary support to Kinjal, she wouldn’t have resorted to such drastic measures. Rahi admits her fears about the repercussions of the situation, but Prem reassures her that they will do everything in their power to bail Kinjal out. Rahi expresses her feelings of shame due to the Shah family’s actions, but Prem reminds her to also consider the turmoil within the Kothari household. Despite her fears, Rahi agrees to take action. Prem decides to assist Paritosh financially, and Rahi offers to contribute her savings as well, showcasing their solidarity.
The tension escalates when Paritosh confronts Raghav, accusing him of manipulating Anupama and causing turmoil in their lives. He blames Raghav for their current troubles, issuing a stern warning that if Raghav doesn’t back off, he will never see Anupama again. Ansh, witnessing the confrontation, tries to convince Raghav to withdraw the case, arguing that they cannot take on the Kotharis. Raghav, however, is taken aback by Ansh’s plea, his expression a mix of shock and disbelief.
As emotions run high, Pari loses her composure and confronts the Shahs, expressing her humiliation and frustration. Pakhi, in a moment of anger, accuses Anupama of offering nothing but fake sympathy. Rahi and Prem stand by Pari, supporting her in her moment of vulnerability. Leela, feeling the strain of the situation, shifts the blame onto Anupama, holding her responsible for Kinjal’s current predicament.
Elsewhere, Prarthana questions Gautam about his role in troubling the Shahs and sending Kinjal to jail. Gautam, with a smirk, taunts her, asking if her concern for the Shahs is due to her feelings for Ansh. Prarthana feels disgusted by his callousness, but Gautam remains unapologetic, revealing his cruel intentions towards the Shah family.
Back at the Shah household, Rahi confronts Anupama, demanding to know why she hasn’t taken more decisive action to save Kinjal. Anupama urges her to consider the motivations behind the Kotharis’ desperation to have the case withdrawn. Rahi accuses Anupama of being heartless, insisting that she should be doing more to help. In a show of support, Rahi gives Paritosh financial assistance, urging him to bring Kinjal back home. She warns Anupama to think carefully about her decisions before she loses her family completely.
Feeling shattered and overwhelmed, Anupama turns to Anuj for comfort. She questions how many more separations she will endure between herself and Rahi, expressing her exhaustion from the ongoing conflicts. Anupama insists that she is not wrong for standing up for justice, sharing her inner turmoil about encouraging Raghav to file the case. She acknowledges that Kinjal is in the wrong but feels heartbroken that her children are directing their anger towards her. Anupama fears the prospect of being left alone and pleads with Anuj to return to her side. She reveals that she attempted to persuade Raghav to withdraw the case, but he refused, leaving her feeling even more despondent.
Just then, Ansh interrupts with unexpected news: Raghav has decided to withdraw the case. Anupama is left in shock, her mind racing with the implications of this sudden change.
**Precap:**
In a moment of reconciliation, Prem encourages Rahi to patch things up with Anupama. Rahi contemplates forgiveness, but Anupama surprises her by announcing that she has hired Raghav to work in Anu Ki Rasoi, leaving everyone stunned and uncertain about the future.
