Anupamaa: Anupama struggles to control her feelings for Anuj

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) initiates the haldi ceremony for Titu and Dimple. Leela and Anupama lovingly apply haldi to the couple, and the Shah family joins in dancing with Titu and Dimple. Amidst the celebration, Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) and Anupama find themselves applying haldi to each other, sparking jealousy in Shruti, who is taken aback to see Aadhya enjoying the festivities. Shruti confesses to Anuj how much she has missed him, while Vanraj is delighted by Shruti's presence. Anuj inquires about her sudden arrival, and Shruti reveals she didn't want to miss out on the fun.

Aadhya is pleased to see Shruti, and Anuj expresses he would have picked her up from the airport. Shruti explains she wanted to surprise him. Vanraj warmly welcomes Shruti, stating her arrival doubles the fun. He sings a welcoming song for her. Shruti boldly claims Anuj as hers and declares that no one else can apply haldi to him, then proposes marriage to Anuj. She gets close to him, prompting Leela to admonish her for lacking shame. Vanraj encourages Shruti to participate in the haldi ceremony with Titu and Dimple.

Shruti asks Anuj to join her, leaving Anupama shocked. Anupama then tells Devika and Kinjal she needs some time alone, but they decide to support her. Anupama becomes frustrated with Devika and Kinjal for not giving her space. They believe Shruti's desire to be with Anuj is understandable and doubt that Anuj and Anupama will reunite. Kinjal suggests that only Anuj and Shruti's wedding will bring clarity. Anupama struggles to understand why she can't control her feelings for Anuj.

Shruti senses Anuj's hesitation and questions his happiness with her. Anuj, lost in thoughts of Anupama, tries to reassure Shruti. Shruti asks him for confirmation of his feelings. Anuj accidentally bumps into Anupama and asks her not to cry.

Vanraj, meanwhile, is pleased with Anupama's distress and openly admits to Kavya that he enjoys seeing her in pain. Kavya confronts him about his intentions, suspecting he wants to sabotage Titu and Dimple's wedding. Vanraj dismisses her concerns, but Kavya remains confident that love will triumph over his schemes. Biji encourages Titu and Dimple to focus on their wedding and honeymoon plans. Ansh requests to join them on their honeymoon. The women later question Titu about moving into the Shah house, and Anupama defends his honour.
