In today’s episode, we see Rahi expertly managing the myriad responsibilities that come with running a household. She takes charge of supervising various workers, including the washerman, driver, and house helpers, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. While she is engrossed in her tasks, Rahi’s attention is drawn to a colorful pamphlet advertising a dance talent competition. The thought of her friend Vasundhara crosses her mind, yet she ultimately decides to dismiss the idea, feeling a mixture of nostalgia and reluctance. Unbeknownst to her, Parag watches her quietly, absorbing the moment without interrupting.
Meanwhile, Anupama boards the metro, a familiar scene that reflects her selfless nature. She takes a moment to give a tiffin to a young girl, inquiring about her mother’s health with genuine concern. This simple act of kindness prompts another girl to question Anupama’s motives, asking why she gives away tiffins for free while still working so hard. Anupama, with a warm smile, explains that she acts out of gratitude and devotion, attributing her actions to the blessings of Bappa, a reference to her spiritual beliefs. The girls, curious and intrigued, ask whom Anupama is praying for, to which she replies, “For two angels,” hinting at her deep love and hopes for her family.
Back at the Shah household, Leela is engaged in a phone call, discussing Kinjal’s job with someone. Kinjal, overhearing the conversation, corrects her mother-in-law, clarifying that she works at a consultancy company, not just any small firm. Paritosh, feeling the weight of financial responsibilities, expresses his frustration about his pending salary. In a supportive gesture, Kinjal offers him some money, showcasing her willingness to help despite their challenges. The conversation takes a serious turn when Leela reveals that Pakhi and Ishani are now living separately. In a heated exchange, Pakhi accuses Leela of trying to undermine their rights, while Kinjal challenges Pakhi, reminding her that she distanced herself from the family. Leela, frustrated by the tension, demands that Pakhi and Ishani leave, but Pakhi stands her ground, refusing to let Ishani go to Mumbai.
As the scene shifts back to Anupama, we see her continuing her charitable work at the hospital, where she receives blessings and gratitude from those she helps. Hasmuk and Kinjal are also seen serving the less fortunate in Anupama’s name, demonstrating the impact she has had on their lives. Kinjal passionately states that Anu Ki Rasoi should continue to operate even in Anupama’s absence, reflecting her commitment to uphold Anupama’s legacy. Hasmuk, filled with nostalgia, expresses how much he misses Anupama. Meanwhile, Kinjal observes Paritosh’s reckless spending habits and reflects on how Anupama was the glue that kept their family united.
In another part of the story, Rahi looks forward to a cozy dinner with Prem, her excitement palpable as she asks Parag if he needs anything. Parag, with a gentle smile, responds that all he needs is her smile. However, Rahi’s mood quickly shifts when she learns that Prem is tied up with an urgent meeting, leaving her feeling disappointed. Parag, sensing her frustration, encourages her to reignite her dreams, reminding her of her long-held desire to open a dance academy—a dream that seems to have faded over time.
The tension escalates when Khyati, harboring resentment, taunts Rahi. Parag confronts Khyati, demanding to know why she bears such animosity toward Rahi. Khyati responds bitterly, stating that things would have been better if Rahi and Anupama had never entered their lives, blaming Anupama for the tragic death of Aryan. Parag passionately defends Anupama, asserting that Aryan’s fate was predetermined, regardless of her involvement. He challenges Khyati, asking why she doesn’t direct her anger toward Mahi instead. Khyati replies that Mahi lost her husband, but questions what Rahi has truly lost. Parag, with a heavy heart, responds that Rahi is losing herself in the process.
As the episode unfolds, Anupama finds herself drawn to the sound of anklet bells, a haunting reminder of her past. She firmly refuses to dance again, overwhelmed with emotions as she reflects on Aryan and the memories associated with him and Anupama.
At the Shah house, the atmosphere becomes tense when the electricity suddenly goes out. Ansh, concerned, questions Paritosh about whether he has paid the bills and warns him to stop squandering money. Prarthana and Kinjal, meanwhile, find themselves reminiscing about Anupama and the warmth she brought to their lives. Savita, ever the critic, taunts Anupama, pointing out that despite her staying with them for six months, no one has bothered to visit her, highlighting the isolation she feels.
