Anupamaa: Anupama rewards Leela’s hard work with her share of earnings

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, Anupama checks with Toshu to ensure he remembers where the parcel needs to be delivered. She then hands over three additional bags, each designated for a special Diwali donation — one for an orphanage, one for feeding birds, and one for the cowshed (gaushala). Toshu, however, raises concerns, questioning how they will balance their accounts if donations are more than the sales.

Jhanki, on the other hand, assures Toshu that their work will progress smoothly. Irritated, Toshu asks Jhanki not to encourage Anupama to make unnecessary donations. Anupama calmly requests Toshu to avoid any arguments on this festive day. She then hands Leela her share of money to assist in fulfilling ladoo orders, expressing her appreciation for Leela's contribution. Jhanki and the other workers commend Anupama for providing them with work, while Leela beams with pride at earning her share.

Leela returns to her room, feeling deeply emotional after receiving her share from Anupama. She reflects on her own journey with a sense of pride, thinking that now she, too, can say she's a true homemaker. Overwhelmed by the moment, she cherishes this as her first earnings at this stage of her life, holding the envelope close to her heart with a grateful smile.

Prem's plan unfolds:

Ishani is relieved to learn that Kunal is out of town, allowing her to enjoy a Diwali celebration without any stress. She receives a notification about a Diwali party happening nearby and enthusiastically invites Pari, Mahi, and Ansh to join her. Upon discovering that Mr Cool Boy will be performing, her excitement grows. Prem, who claims to know Mr. Cool Boy personally, decides to join them, which prompts Ansh to consider going as well. 

During their discussion, Prem suggests they cover up by telling the family they're attending a Satsang at a friend's place to avoid the family's likely disapproval of the party. Mahi also invites Rahi, who initially declines, leading Prem to tease her for being too boring. Eventually, Rahi decides to attend the party.

Anupama is pleasantly surprised to see Ishani, Pari, Mahi, and Ansh all dressed up for Diwali. Ansh tells Anupama that they are headed to a Satsang organised by a friend, though Toshu and Kinjal suspect they aren't being truthful. Despite their doubts, Ansh convinces Anupama to allow them to go. Leela insists that Ansh, Mahi, Pari, and Ishani first participate in the family's Diwali puja. Anupama agrees, saying they can leave after the puja. Overjoyed, Ishani, Ansh, Mahi, Pari, and Prem celebrate their permission to go.

Rahi presents a handmade chain:

During the prayer, Rahi presents a handmade chain as a gift to the deity, with Mahi mentioning that Rahi crafted it herself. Anupama notices the chain caught in her sari and smiles warmly. With the rituals completed, Ishani, Mahi, Pari, Prem, Ansh, and Rahi prepare to leave, only for Leela to shock them by asking to join. Anupama steps in, reassuring Leela that the children will be safe, especially with Prem and Ansh around. Leela finally relents, requesting them to bring back prasad.

As they head to the party, Mahi struggles with guilt for lying to Anupama, though Pari encourages her to let it go. Prem takes the wheel, driving Ishani, Ansh, Mahi, Pari, and Rahi to the event. Despite Leela's lingering doubts about Prem, Anupama reassures her of his good nature. The group enjoys the drive and is excited about the party.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Prem makes an attempt to charm Rahi, while Mahi becomes anxious upon receiving a call from Anupama.
