Anupamaa : Anupama Promises to be There for Kinjal; Barkha Poisons Pakhi’s Mind!

Kavya offers hot chocolate milk to Little Anu. Little Anu asks Samar, Kinjal, and Hasmukh to join her. Anupama assures Leela that she will not miss Kinjal’s doctor appointments again. Vanraj says they will handle it themselves. Anupama says she informed them how little Anu narrowly escaped an accident. Vanraj says accident could happen to even his daughter Kinjal.

Hasmukh says it didn’t happen though. Leela asks Anupama when she cannot handle one task, why she wants to handle multiple task; its not necessary that she shows her mahanta/greatness everywhere. Hasmukh asks her to stop. Leela says she is telling truth and asks Anupama if she will take Little Anu everywhere, Kinjal needs more attention now as her due date is nearing.

Anupama promises she will be there before time if Kinjal needs her. Little Anu returns and says even she will as she befriended baby now. Samar brings hot chocolate. Little Anu notices Leela writhing in knee pain and does magic on her knee. Leela says its feeling good. Hasmukh and Jignesh clap for her. Samar tells Anupama that he feels concerned for Anupama and Kinjal and asks her to be careful from hereon.

Barkha showers Pakhi with costly branded gifts. Pakhi feels excited and says she borrows branded makeup kits from Rakhi. Barkha says even she buys branded stuff for Sara and not like traditional mothers who buy jewelry for their daughter. Barkha says she will buy branded stuff for Adhik’s bride. Pakhi says how lucky the bride would be. Barkha grins at Adhik. They take a selfie.

Vanraj tells his family that Anupama would be busy and having one or the other excuses, so they will not give Kinjal’s responsibility to Anupama. He asks Kavya to take care of Kinjal from hereon. Kavya says he is overreacting as Anupama handled 3 children well already. Kinjal says Kavya is right. Vanraj requests Kinjal to take Kavya along for doctor’s appointments and says let Anupama be a mother and a wife as she doesn’t have time to be a grandmother.

Leela asks Vanrajj why he gave responsibility to Kavya instead of her as she took care of family well, say she didn’t get any respect when her MIL was alive who pampered Anupama and then Anupama pampered Kinjal ignoring her. She emotionally says she will take care of the responsibilities better than anyone. Vanraj wipes her tears and comforts her.

Anupama takes Little Anu to her mother Kanta’s house. Little Anu says she has so many relatives now. Kanta praises Anupama’s decision to adopt a child. Anupama lies on her lap and says when Anuj discussed about adopting a child, she was afraid and thought that she couldn’t. Kanta asks what about now after Little Anu came in her life.

Anupama says now she feels as if she became a new mother again running around her kid again. Kanta says a woman becomes complete after becoming a mother. Anupama seconds her opinion and says becoming a mother or not is each woman’s decision and fate, she is proud to be a mother, but some other woman must be proud of something else just like each woman has different color and different identity and they should respect each woman.

Pakhi waears branded dress, shoes, and bag and cat walks with Barkha while Adhik clicks their pics. Anupama tells Kanta that Anuj is very good and loves her children, but he needed his own child and she had to respect his decision. Kanta says its obvious and Anupama would get an opportunity of doing kanyadaan of 2 daughters.

Adhik says they both were looking good together. Pakhi removes her sandals. Barkha says she must be feeling guilty as a middle class daughter, but now her mother is a rich businessman’s wife now and afford the luxuries. They both brainwash her that she should demand luxuries from her parents and change herself. They further lure her to post her lifestyle in her social media account and get a huge fan following.

Kanta tells Anupama that she has more responsibilities now. Anupama says she fears if she can fulfil her responsibilities. Kanta says she will. Anupama says Anuj is very good and she doesn’t want to disappoint him, she prays Kanha ji to protect her grahasti/household. Little Anu joins them. They both pamper her. Aa Eee Uu.. song plays in the background.

Anuj’s photo falls from the wall and breaks Anuj and Anupama’s wedding fotoframe. Barkha and Adhik continue to brainwash Pakhi and says she should go to US for further studies and even Adhik will join her there. Pakhi feels hesitant. Barkha says she should start living a rich life and asks her to come to her daily and they will enjoy with shopping and spa sessions, etc.

She says when Little Anu is getting luxuries, why don’t she get them all; she just should come to her for grooming. Anupama returns home and notices Pakhi wearing luxurious branded items. Little Anu hugs Pakhi. Pakhi gets nervous seeing Anupama.

Precap: Anupama says they should accept a gift which they can afford, so Pakhi will not accept Barkha’s costly gifts. Pakhi asks when Anupama can accept a costly necklace from Anuj, why can’t she. Vanraj visits Pakhi’s college to pick her back and learns that she left long ago. Anuj brings a costly silver plate set for Little Anu. Pakhi feels jealous and asks Anuj if she can stay back at Kapadia house and smirks at Anupama.
