Anupamaa: Anupamaa and Pakhi's reunion as Pakhi returns home

Malti Devi's heroic act:

Tonight's Anupamaa episode kicks off with Malti Devi aiding Pakhi (Muskan Bamne), while on the other side, Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) grows increasingly concerned about her whereabouts. He pleads with the police to find Pakhi urgently. Meanwhile, Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) senses Pakhi's return. Malti Devi arrives at the Kapadia house with Pakhi, leaving everyone stunned and overjoyed. Anupama rushes to embrace Pakhi, tears of relief streaming down her face, while Anuj eyes Malti Devi with mixed emotions. Malti Devi informs them that she found Pakhi unconscious at the Dhobighat, but while explaining, she too collapses, and Anuj rushes to support her. Anupama and Adhik take Pakhi inside while Anuj and Ankush attend to Malti Devi.

The Shah family's joyful reunion:

At the Shah residence, Vanraj (Sudhanshu Pandey) receives a call from Anuj about Pakhi's return, and the family rushes to the Kapadia house with hearts full of happiness. Anupama offers her gratitude to God and performs a nazar ritual for Pakhi's safety. Curious about the circumstances, Pakhi attempts to ask questions, but Anupama advises her to rest first, promising to explain later. Meanwhile, Romil (Viraj Kapoor) , in his room, is crying and thanking God for Pakhi's arrival and thanks Malti Devi, who brought her home. He wonders what punishment he will receive from Anuj and Anupama for his deeds. Anuj checks on Malti Devi, finding her asleep, and reminisces about her graceful past, shocked by her current condition.

Adhik's heartfelt apology:

Adhik approaches Pakhi, sincerely apologizing for hurting her, emotionally manipulating her, and even slapping her. He acknowledges that he never truly appreciated Pakhi's unwavering support and admits to failing as a husband. Adhik realizes the depth of his love for her during her absence and pleads with her not to leave him, promising to become a better husband. Anupama encounters Malti Devi, and Anuj regrets not believing her earlier regarding Malti Devi's condition. Anupama empathizes, understanding how unbelievable it is. Anuj updates her about the Shah family's arrival and suggests letting Malti Devi rest. Pakhi shares her perspective with Adhik, revealing she didn't face any trouble during her absence. Her captors kept her in an air-conditioned room, provided her favourite food every two hours, and behaved decently. Unaware of who was behind it all, Pakhi presses Adhik for answers. He reveals that Malti Devi brought her back and that Romil orchestrated the entire ordeal for revenge. Meanwhile, the rest of the Shah family arrives.

Justice and family unity:

Anuj acknowledges that Pakhi's safe return is a relief, hinting at something more but not disclosing it. Baa insists that Romil deserves to go to jail. Vanraj, filled with anger, grabs Romil's collar, determined to involve the police. Samar, emotionally hurt, questions how a brother could do such a thing as Pakhi considers Romil as her brother. Romil pleads for mercy, while Ankush remains divided, requesting leniency. Adhik, however, believes Romil deserves jail, and Anuj asks Adhik to stay out of this matter. Anupama underscores that forgiveness should be equal, extending to Adhik as well. Malti Devi unexpectedly enters the scene, bewildered by the girl's commotion and presence. Anupama tries to touch her, but Malti Devi resists, leaving a cliffhanger ending to the episode.

Precap: 

The precap of Anupamaa offers a glimpse of Pakhi tying rakhi to her brothers, even to Bapuji, Romil, and Anuj. Anuj discusses the possibility of shifting Malti Devi to a hospital or centre, leaving the decision in Anupama's hands.
