Anupamaa : Rakhi & Anupama Support Kinjal’s Decision to Divorce Toshu!

Anupama comforts Kinjal and recites a motivational poem/shayari. Shahs stand frowning seeing Anupama’s support. Rakhi tells Kinjal that she is proud of her. Kinjal says she is happy that her both mothers support her. Leela yells at Anupama and accuses her that she broke her house first and then her son’s house and is teaching Kinjal to be like her.

Anupama replies just like Leela is supporting her son and grandson’s infidelity. Leela continues. Kinjal warns her to stop accusing Anupama as it was her sole decision to divorce spineless Toshu. Vanraj tells Kinjal that she took a decision in anger and they will discussion about it later, he promises her that Toshu will not come near her again. Toshu reacts. Vanraj warns him to understand his point without reacting unnecessarily. Leela says Vanraj is right. Vanraj tells Kinjal that she should understand that every child needs both father and mother. Anupama asks is it?

Little Anu asks Anuj why Anupama visits Nanupapa Hasmukh’s house often when both families promise not to visit each other. Anuj says just like her friends fight while playing and patch up, families have their set of differences but can’t abandon each other. Rakhi warns Shahs that her daughter has already taken a decision and if someone tries to pressurize her, she like a true nagin/snake will bite them. She asks Anupama to return to her home and take care of her family and let her take care of Kinjal.

Anupama hugs Kinjal and leaves while Vanraj and Leela look at her angrily. Rakhi warns them to dare not eye on her daughter again. Anupama returns home looking sad. Anuj notices her sadness and asks what happened. Anupama says navrati is coming and they pray a goddess, but in real life women are always questioned and had to go through struggle whole life. Anuj says struggle is a part of woman’s life and hence god made women more tolerable and strong to tolerate everything. hE assures her that everything will be alright soon. Anupama says let us forget about Shahs and talk about ourselves.

Rakhi massages Kinjal’s back with a massager and asks if she shall book a spa. Kinjal says its okay. Rakhi says since childhood she saw and learnt that how much ever a woman successful is, she is incomplete without a man even if that man mentally and physically harassed her and hide her pain; she was taught that separating from her husband is a woman’s biggest defeat and hence she didn’t want her daughter to lose, but when she heard Anupama, she realized its a wrong thought; when Anupama can go against her own son, she can support her daughter and will fight for her daughter as she couldn’t fight for herself.

Kinjal asks if Pramod cheated on her. Rakhi says yes, just like Kinjal, a rich girl loved and married a middle class boy who cheated on her, she learnt about it during her baby shower ritual and since then became bitter. Kinjal asks if she made such a big sacrifice because of her; she now realized why Rakhi stays away from Pramod and gets herself busy in business.

Rakhi says life gave her a bitter experience and she is returning same to the world. Kinjal says their fate is same, but she will not tolerate injustice. Rakhi says she need not fear anyone. Leela hears their conversation and thinks she needs to stop Kinjal for the sake of her family.

Next day, Shahs and Kapadias perform navratri pooja at their homes. Leela says they perform a tika ritual on their newborn during first navratri festival. Hasmukh says grandfather and grandmother perform this ritual and hence he invited Anupama and Anuj. Leela frowns. Hasmukh warns her not to create any drama during festival. Anuj asks Anupama to hurry up as Hasmukh invited them for Pari’s tika ritual. Leela takes out old stuff to sell it to a scrap dealer.

Kavya jokes if she will also go with it, then asks if she will take it to the scrap dealer or will he come and pick it. Leela says scrap dealer will come and pick it. Anupama with Anuj and Little Anu reach Shah house and click a selfie with a polaroid camera. Sonu takes Little Anu to play hide and seek. Toshu watches them hiding and once the disperse picks photo and thinks Anupama destroyed his happiness, now he will destroy her happiness.

Sonu and Little Anu play hide and seek. Sonu searches for her and informs family that Little Anu is not found in whole family. Whole family searches for Little Anu and don’t find her. Anupama runs to an old trunk and finds Little Anu in that. Anuj pampers her and asks her not to go uninformed and hide where they can’t find it. Anupama asks her to promise not to do that again.

Toshu thinks Anupama panicked when she didn’t find her daughter a few minute and wants to separate his daughter from him instead. He calls someone. Orphanage officers visit Anupama and Anuj and say they got a complaint against them that they are not taking care of a girl they are fostering and hence came to take back the girl. Anuj and Anupama stand shocked hearing that.

Precap: Shahs and Kapadias get busy in navrati celebration when someone takes Pari away. Anupama and Rakhi notice Pari missing from her cradle.
