Anupamaa : Barkha & Anupama Do the Pooja Together!
Anupama apologizes guests and says they are intelligent people and must be knowing the importance of pooja at a new house. She says they can party but after the pooja and requests them to join them for the pooja. Anuja also requests guests to join them for the pooja.
Anupama asks servants to remove alcohol from venue and requests guests to remove their slippers outside the house. Barkha gets angry thinking she organized party with special permission for alcohol, but Anupama is performing pooja instead. Anupama and Anuj with Samar, Toshu, Pakhi’s and servant’s help clean the living room and make arrangements for pooja, leaving Barkha more jealous.
Leela notices Barkha’s behavior and comments that Anupama’s jetani looks very finicky. Vanraj says she is from USA. Leela asks if Anuj is not from USA. It doesn’t matter as they don’t have to visit this house often. Hasmukh says they have to visit Anupama often as they are her maika/mother’s side.
Kavya praises Anupama’s good faith that even being an illiterate she got an NRI family and a loving husband who transferred everything in her name immediately after marriage. Vanraj feels irritated hearing that. Leela notices Samar, Pakhi, Toshu, and Kinjal mingling well with Adhik and Sara and says its better they visit less to daughter’s sasural/in-laws.
Anuj invites everyone for pooja and makes Shah family and GK sit with them for pooja. Barkha gets more upset seeing that. Guests feel irritated. Barkha tells Ankush that she had invited guests for the party, but they are forced to attend party. Ankush asks her to relax as it happens even in the USA. Panditji asks owner of the house to hold the kalash and get into the house. Barkha says for the world whoever is the owner of Kapadia house is the owner of Kapadia empire, she cannot put Sara and Adhik’s future at risk and hence has to do something now.
Panditji asks owner of the house to lift the kalash and enter the house. Anuj asks Anupama to lift the kalash as she is the owner of the house. Vanraj recalls humiliating Anupama earlier. Anupama shies while Anupama insists her to perform the ritual. She lifts kalash. Barkha tells Ankush that if Anupama wasn’t there, she would have garened all the media limelight.
Ankush asks when she is not interested in pooja, then why she is dying to perform pooja. Barkha says she is interested in power instead. Anupama holds Barkha’s hand and says house belongs to the bahus/DILs of the house and not the one who owns the keys. Ankush tells Anuj that they will follow the super successful wives like true husands. Anupama establishes kalash in temple.
Panditji asks Anupama to imprint her hands on the wall. Barkha stops her. Kavya tells Leela that Barkha is not less than Rakhi Dave. Barkha says the paint is very precious and she ordered it from Paris, so she will not let Anupama spoil the living room with turmeric hand prints. Anupama says its their culture. Barkha asks her to do the ritual in the backyard and reminds that she accepted to let the alcohol out of the house.
Anupama says they cannot insult their ritual and explains her point of view. Barkha gets adamant. Leela says haldi imprints are auspicious and pooja brings positivity in the home, etc. Anupama says Leela is right. Barkha says she will not let her walls spoilt, then says she means the house which she decorated. Anupama says she will not compromise on her culture.
Anuj brings a sheet of paper and says they will fix it on the wall and let Anupama perform the ritual, that way both the culture and modernity will be prevailed. Sara praises Anupama for the idea. Anuj says its his idea. Anupama says both culture and modernity can be protected if they try. Anuj praises Anupama and fixes paper on the wall. Anupama asks GK to do the ritual as he is the elder of the house, then Ankush and Barkha, then herself and Anuj.
Precap: Guest insults Hasmukh. Anupama warns guest that she will not tolerate anyone insulting her family. Anuj stops her.
