Anupamaa: Aadhya is alive, living in hostel with false claim of parents' death

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) clings to the hope that Aadhya is still alive and will return soon. One of her roommates asks if Aadhya doesn't want to go back home for vacation. Aadhya reveals that her parents have passed away, leaving her without a home. Elsewhere, when Anupama attempts to approach, Anuj advises her to keep her distance.

Kinjal urges Mahi to speak with Kavya. Mahi asks Kavya to return soon, sharing that Kinjal is taking care of her. She expresses her desire to sleep in Kavya's lap, getting emotional in the process. Meenu comforts Mahi by dancing with Ishani, Ansh, and Pari to lift her spirits. Anupama inquires Yashdeep if there have been any updates on Aadhya and asks him to check on Anuj and Aadhya's status and find out about Shruti.

Anupama plans to confront Barkha and Ankush:

Bala plans to sell his property to save Aasha Bhawan. When Indra questions his decision, Bala explains his intention. He seeks a fair offer for the property. Concerned about Anupama, Indra contemplates selling her kidney to contribute to the cause, but Bala advises against it. Instead, Indra decides to deliver food.

Yashdeep provides Anupama with Ankush's contact number. Anupama plans to confront Barkha and Ankush about deceiving Anuj. Meanwhile, Sagar repairs a pipe, leading to a misunderstanding with Meenu. Despite his attempts to clarify, Pakhi accuses Sagar of trying to peek into Meenu's bathroom. Dimple sides against Sagar, while Kinjal defends him. Pakhi complains to Vanraj, who reacts violently, hitting Sagar and accusing him. Sagar pleads for his innocence as Kinjal and Meenu try to intervene. Anupama steps in, urging Vanraj to stop. Sagar asks for Anupama's trust.

Anupama's emotional breakdown:

Leela stands against Sagar, but Anupama supports him. Vanraj continues to assault Sagar and threatens to call the police. Terrified, Sagar begs Vanraj to reconsider, fearing for his future. Pakhi and Toshu criticise Anupama, while Meenu supports Sagar. Vanraj disparages Aasha Bhawan, prompting Anupama to defend it as a sanctuary for the homeless. She passionately supports Sagar in front of the Shah family. 

Later, she confronts Sagar, acknowledging the risk he took climbing their house. Overwhelmed, Anupama breaks down, feeling unable to manage the situation. Anuj, passing by, is struck when he sees an emotionally broken Anupama. 

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Anuj calls out for Aadya to come back, while Anupama struggles with feelings of failure but remains hopeful for Aadya's return.
