In today’s episode, the scene opens with Bharti expressing discomfort as she clings to Anupama’s leg, pleading for her to let go. She describes the pain she is experiencing, but Anupama, ever the motivator, encourages Bharti to push through it by focusing on her admiration for Shahrukh Khan. Curious, Bharti asks Anupama how she can shift her focus. Anupama cleverly reveals that Shahrukh Khan has danced with her, which leaves Bharti astonished and intrigued. Using her wit, Anupama cleverly manipulates the conversation to ensure that Bharti remains engaged and performs the necessary exercise despite her discomfort. Bharti, impressed by Anupama’s tactics, inquires about where she learned such tricks. Anupama simply replies, “I am a mother,” highlighting her experience and resourcefulness.
Meanwhile, Jaspreet raises a concern about Rita’s absence, questioning what they will do if she doesn’t show up. Anupama reassures her, stating confidently that Rita’s mother-in-law will personally bring her. With a tone of optimism, she instructs Bharti and Preet to wait and see how things unfold.
In another part of the story, Pakhi is buzzing with excitement as she shares her plans with Leela about participating in an upcoming dance competition. Leela, however, is skeptical, pointing out that the competition will feature professional dancers. Pakhi counters this by mentioning that Rahi is teaching them, but Leela expresses doubt, suggesting that Rahi is not on the same level as Anupama. She questions whether Anupama will also join the competition, to which Pakhi urges Leela to adopt a more positive outlook. Prarthana chimes in, agreeing that it’s wonderful for someone to pursue their dreams.
Leela then shifts the conversation to financial matters, asking Prarthana to increase the rent since she has been using the air conditioning. Prarthana assures her that she will comply. Leela, however, seems to be contemplating the implications of raising Prarthana’s child without Anupama’s support and decides to stop dwelling on Anupama, fearing what might happen if she returns.
Back at the chawl, Manohar takes the opportunity to inspire Anupama and the other ladies as they prepare for the competition. He discusses the importance of both winning and losing, subtly referencing Rahi, which causes Anupama to worry about competing against her. Manohar encourages Anupama’s team to choose a name, and she suggests “Dancing Ranis,” explaining that every woman is a queen in her own right. Their conversation shifts to Rita, prompting Anupama to devise a plan.
In a twist, Anupama spreads a rumor that Sarita is possessed, which piques the interest of Rita and her mother-in-law, who decide to visit Sarita. Jaspreet, sensing an opportunity, tells Rita’s mother-in-law that she must pay to see Sarita. The mother-in-law, eager to help her daughter-in-law, asks Sarita if her son will secure a job. Sarita, however, confronts Rita’s mother-in-law, accusing her of tormenting Rita while daydreaming about job prospects. In a surprising turn, Sarita manages to persuade Rita’s mother-in-law to allow Rita to participate in the dance competition, much to the delight of Jaspreet, Sarita, and the others. Despite the success of her plan, Anupama feels a pang of guilt for tricking Rita’s mother-in-law under the guise of superstition and instructs Jaspreet to return the money collected.
As the episode draws to a close, the preview reveals an unexpected incident: Manohar twists his ankle, yet he encourages Anupama to take charge of the situation. Anupama learns that if any member of her team fails to report, they will face elimination. Jaspreet, filled with concern, asks Anupama if she is confident that Rita, Sarita, and Deepa will not back out at the last minute, leaving Anupama in a state of shock and uncertainty about the challenges ahead.
