Anupamaa: Differences Emerge Between Anupama & Anuj

Bapuji returns home with Anu, Kinjal, Samar, and Mamaji after performing Anu and Anuj’s shagun ritual. He notices Baa with jewelry and documents and aks what is all this. Baa says it’s their status and says that he dreamed about Anupama’s lavish wedding, but they are not rich to bear the expenses with Toshu and Vanraj’s risky job and only small savings left. She says she is not cursing or angry but is just telling the truth and asks Bapuji to spend all the savings and give away the jewelry but leave a dime to buy some poison as they will be on road after Anupama’s wedding. Everyone stands speechless.

Anuj discusses with Devika that he wants a lavish wedding that would be the best in town. and asks her to make all the wedding arrangements. Devika agrees. Anupama tells Bapuji that Baa is right that would be very tough on the family, so she and Anuj would have a simple wedding with their old saris and just an expense of sindhoor; Baa is right this time. Anupama then stares her long moral gyaan how a daughter’s marriage is made a burden for an Indian father, counting the catering expenses, gifts for the groom’s family, etc., etc. She after the girl’s bidayi, her father looks at his passbook and gets teary eyed again. Bapuji says a daughter’s marriage is the father’s wish. Anupama says it should be for rich family, not a middle-class family like theirs, and suggests a simple wedding with rituals in the lawn and simple clothes, etc. Samar says its her second marriage, but Anuj’s first. Kinjal backs him and says it would be an injustice for Anuj.

Anuj continues expressing his excitement. Devika says Anupama may not like a lavish wedding and wants to keep it a low key affair, so he should seek her opionin and then decide. Anuj stands stunned. Back at Shah house,Toshu informs Vanraj that he is going to meet his friend Yash who returned from USA and whose father has a big business in USA and hopes to seek help from him for their business. Vanraj agrees. Toshu says he will bring Yash here where Vanraj can impress him with his talks. Kavya hears their conversation and thinks they get excited unnecessarily and hopes their wish comes true. Vanraj and Toshu make a business presentation to trap Yash this time.

Anupama remembers Anuj’s and Baa’s opinion regarding marriage. Anuj also recalls Devika’s advice. Anu calls him. Anuj says he wants to meet her. They meet at Anu’s dance academy. Anuj says Bapuji discussed about a lavish wedding, but she need not worry as he just wants her. She says then they will have court marriage and then temple pheras. He says as she wishes. She shouts why he does it every time, she wasn’t present in her first relationship and sometimes feel he is not present in this relationship, he should express his desire and not just accept her wish. She gives gyaan on the mutual consent for anything between relationship, etc. Anuj says his life’s only dream is to marry her and wants a lavish wedding with best DJ, best venue, best clothes, all the rituals, but when he closes his eyes, he just imagines her and not all those things.

She says he became mahaan/great again and insists him to tell what his heart wants. Anuj says if he listens to his heart, he would be paying loan rest of his life; he doesn’t want money from Bapuji as he is taking his most precious wealth. He says they have a best choreographer Samar, best dress designer Devika, Bapuji event planner, Kinjal DJ, Mukku wedding planner, GK photographer, mamaji caterer. Anu laughs and says nobody will get food if mamaji becomes a caterer. He jokes she need not worry as he will remember this marriage. He says this wedding should be a memorable event. She agrees. Devika makes MaAn ki shaadi whatsapp group. Anu and Anuj continue to discuss their wedding plan and smile.

Precap: Toshu’s friends see Anupama with Anuj and taunt Toshu that he has 2 fathers. Toshu fights with them and vents out his frustration on Anu and Anuj.
