In today’s episode, we dive into Anupama’s journey as she embarks on a new chapter of her life in Mumbai. The episode opens with Anupama in her kitchen, skillfully preparing a meal while enjoying the tunes from the FM radio. This moment signifies her attempt to embrace her fresh start in the bustling city.
As the day unfolds, Anupama wakes her younger brother, Jaspreet, urging him to help collect water. In the midst of this, we see Leela struggling with a heavy water bucket. Prarthana, eager to assist, offers her help, but Leela stubbornly declines, insisting she can manage on her own. Ansh, observing the situation, steps in and advises Leela to leave the bucket behind, asserting that he will take care of the household responsibilities. Leela, however, questions Ansh’s capabilities, throwing a taunt towards Prarthana in the process. Undeterred, Ansh encourages Prarthana to head to the office, assuring her that he will handle the matters at home.
Meanwhile, Prarthana expresses her gratitude to God for the new opportunity she has been given, despite Leela’s evident disapproval of her presence in the household. Hasmuk, trying to mediate, reminds Leela that Prarthana contributes to the household by paying rent. Frustrated with the situation, Leela contemplates arranging a marriage for Ansh, hoping this will rid her of Prarthana’s presence once and for all.
At the water line, tensions rise as Savita confronts Anupama, demanding that she fill her bucket first. Anupama, choosing to avoid conflict, stands her ground and refuses to engage in a quarrel. As Savita fills her bucket, Jaspreet comes to Anupama’s defense, urging her to assert herself more. He emphasizes the importance of standing up for herself to avoid continual suffering. This conversation prompts Anupama to reflect on her past experiences and the challenges she has faced.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Prem prepares to head to the office. His mother, Vasundhara, advises him to be cautious. During breakfast, Parag declines to take the center seat at the table, sharing that life has taught him valuable lessons about humility. Prem encourages him to embrace his experiences. However, Gautam questions Prem about a pending payment, prompting Prem to explain that he is managing sales. Gautam, puzzled by Prem’s decision to stay despite the disrespect he has faced, urges Vasundhara to address the issue directly.
As breakfast continues, Khyati voices her frustration about the lack of food being served. Rahi steps up to prepare the meal, but Khyati instructs her to prioritize serving Mahi, reminding her that Mahi works hard. Rahi, feeling sidelined, is hurt by this treatment. Vasundhara interjects, pointing out that only two members of the household contribute to work. Meeta, defending her son, retorts that at least he is alive and well, shocking Parag and Khyati. In a show of solidarity, Prem and Rahi support Meeta’s stance.
Back in Anupama’s world, Jaspreet encourages her to pack her tiffin and reminds her to speak up for herself. Reflecting on her past, Anupama resolves to move forward and embrace her new life. Meanwhile, Jaspreet’s roommate discusses marriage, but Anupama remains unresponsive, lost in her thoughts.
As the episode progresses, Rahi and Anupama find themselves missing each other. Rahi wonders how Anupama manages to juggle relationships, household chores, and her job. Anupama, feeling disconnected, doubts that anyone truly remembers her.
Later, Prem decides to take Rahi out for dinner, which irritates Mahi, who insists that Prem accompany her to the office instead. This leaves Rahi feeling isolated, prompting her to reflect on the balance Anupama maintained in her life.
In a poignant moment, Anupama resolves to pay the rent, and Tai inquires whether she has visited Mumbai before. This question stirs memories of Anuj, a significant figure from her past.
Precap
In the upcoming scenes, Anupama hears the sound of anklet bells, a reminder of her past, and firmly refuses to dance again, indicating her reluctance to revisit certain memories. Parag, however, encourages Rahi to pursue her passion for dance, leading Rahi to gaze at her anklet bells, contemplating her own dreams and aspirations.
