Anupamaa: Anupama slaps Dimple after her insensitive remarks about Nandita

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, Anupama reflects on her children, Toshu and Pakhi. Meanwhile, Pakhi complains that Anupama keeps surprising them with unexpected decisions. Pakhi urges Toshu to take action, as she is unable to handle the rain. Toshu reveals that he has Vanraj's credit card, and they both agree to spend the money. Seeking shelter, Pakhi and Toshu head to a hotel.

Back at the Shah house, Anupama wakes up the family, comforting Hasmuk and Leela. Meenu, in search of her hair clip, gets assistance from Sagar. Kinjal is seen preparing breakfast, and Aadhya lends a hand as Ansh, Ishani, Mahi, and Pari get ready for the day. Indra asks Hasmuk and Leela to begin the aarti, but Leela hesitates. Anuj steps in, encouraging Leela to lead the prayer. As Hasmuk and Leela offer their prayers, the family unites in devotion.

Anuj shares his struggles:

Anuj faces difficulties in finding a job. Anupama notices him preparing for an opportunity and offers her support. Anuj informs her that a rival company has reached out with a job offer. Anupama asks if he's comfortable working for a competitor. Determined to provide for his family, Anuj declares that he must work for Anupama, Aadhya, and Mahi's sake, even stating he feels as though he cannot survive without working. Anupama quickly tells him to stop talking like that. Anuj then sets a new goal: to win Anupama's heart again, though she silently acknowledges he already has. Anuj notices her expression and asks her what she meant. 

In the meantime, Anupama decides to take up delivering pickles and papad to a hotel to help with the household income. Leela, on the other hand, asks Bala to pawn gold to get necessary provisions. Bala reassures her, telling Leela not to think of them as a burden and promising to handle the situation. Meanwhile, at Asha Bhawan, Dimple and Dolly are unhappy with their stay. Dolly considers moving to the USA after claiming her share of the inheritance. Kinjal and  Leela take jabs at both Dimple and Dolly for their attitudes.

Anupama slaps Dimple:

Soon after, Kinjal finds out that Pakhi and Toshu are enjoying themselves at a hotel. Frustrated, she vows to make them pay for their actions. Back at the Shah house, Leela tells Dimple and Dolly to assist with chopping vegetables, but they both resist, complaining. Anupama steps in, urging them to pitch in with the household chores.

Elsewhere, Nandita nearly loses her balance, but Titu steps in to assist her. This enrages Dimple, who slaps Nandita, accusing her of trying to gain Titu's attention. When Anupama intervenes, Dimple lashes out, accusing Anupama of being oblivious to her surroundings because she is too preoccupied with Anuj. She goes as far as to say something deeply hurtful, implying that Nandita's husband left her because she must have been involved with another man. Enraged by this cruel comment, Anupama slaps Dimple and gives her a harsh reality check. She then demands Dimple apologise, she refuses to prompting Titu to apologise on the behalf of Dimple. Anupama stands firm in her belief in Titu and Nandita's integrity. Dimple, feeling attacked, accuses Anupama of always favoring outsiders over her own family. Unshaken, Dimple warns that one day Anupama will turn against the members of Asha Bhawan.

Back at the hotel, Pakhi and Toshu are asked to settle their bill, but they voice their dissatisfaction with the service instead. Meanwhile, Anupama encourages Nandita to stand up for herself and fight for her self-respect. Moved by Anupama's words, Nandita gets emotional.
