Anupamaa : Anupama Decides to End Relationship With Anuj !

Pakhi group video calls her friends and discusses about their holi celebrations. One of them says their friend Tiara’s mummy is marrying her boyfriend. Pakhi asks what is a big deal, people marry in US even at 60. Friend says it’s India and mothers don’t marry. Anu walks in and hears their conversation. Pakhi disconnects call and tells Anu that she is already embarrassed after papa remarried and doesn’t want to be embarrassed again. Anu says she shouldn’t bother about people.

Pakhi says she is not mahaan/great like her and cannot bear any more embarrassment, papa can remarry but mummy can’t, so she shouldn’t think of remarriage. Vanraj enters and says Pakhi is right, mummy doesn’t marry, she is a grandmother now; he is a male and had issues after second marriage, but she will be humiliated; she should deny marrying her boyfriend or else life of people related to her will be in a mess; they are not friends anymore, but for the old sake, he wants to say that grandmas don’t marry. Anu walks away. Vanraj grins and thinks he is not bothered about their marriage but is jealous of their happiness, so he cannot let them live happy.

Anupama visits her dance academy and remembers Rakhi, Baa, Pakhi, and Vanraj’s words. Anuj walks to him and seeing her tensed asks reason. He apologizes her for the drama he created after having bhang. She says she needs to practice for dance practice and dances on Mere Dholna Sun… song. She then bumps on him.

He says he gave her name for dance competition at college and didn’t know it would take 26 years for her to come on stage, its a big day for them as a lot is at stake, her talent and his hope, her preparation and his patience, etc., she is not focused as something is bothering her. She says she doesn’t want to talk. He says he already told he will never leave her. She tries to leave. He holds her sari pallu.

Dolly, Samar, and Bapuji worry for Anupama. Samar says even Kinjal is blaming herself for this mess. Bapuji says its not her mistake. Samar blames Baa for creating this mess. Baa defends herself in front of Vanraj with her long explanation and warns that she will not Anupama marry.

Samar, Dolly, and Bapuji hope Anu doesn’t back off and express their views. Anuj says he needs Anupama completely and he has right on both her happiness and sorrows. She says again let her go. He says he will not and says her tears speak a lot, asks if family questioned their relationship again, he knows its a difficult situation.

Anu remembers Rakhi, Baa, Pakhi, and Vanraj’s taunts and thinks how Anuj can be so good and understand her so well. She again asks him to let her go as she needs to make preparations for tomorrow. Anuj says if someone closest to them wants to go, they shouldn’t stop them.

He leaves her hand and says he left her hand and not her companionship and if she leaves their companionship, he will go away from her forever and will never return again; he is not emotionally blackmailing her but telling truth; they are together and hence she has right on his life’s decisions, but when they are not, only he has right on his life. Tears roll down Anu’s cheeks.

Anu breaks down remembering Anuj’s words. Anu gets worried for Anu and thinks he cannot see her in pain. Anu thinks how to go against family. Anuj prays Kanhaji to let his love win or else he cannot live. Anu cries loudly and thinks why this happens to her always.

At home, Bapuji asks Samar to check where is Anu. Anu returns and walks in asking them why are they awake till now. Bapuji senses something is wrong between Anu and Anuj and calls Anuj to find out. Anuj says everything is fine. Bapuji says he doesn’t look good lying, what really happened. Anuj says Anu is not talking to him after Baa said something to her. Bapuji fears that Anu changed her decision under Baa’s pressure.

Precap: Anuj hurriedly finishes his business meeting and rushes towards Anu’s dance competition venue. Anu thinks she will end the story at any cost today. Anuj meets with a car accident. Anu senses that and worries for Anuj.
