Anupamaa: Dimple advises children to boycott Mahi, no longer a Shah

Tonight's Anupamaa episode begins with Anupama noticing Toshu and Pakhi arriving at Asha Bhawan, capturing the attention of everyone present. Dolly comments that it's fortunate they didn't act as recklessly as Toshu and Pakhi. Dimple adds that if they had, they would be facing the same consequences. Toshu speaks up, stating that the others can mock them, make fun, or taunt them however they please. Pakhi asserts that since they've come, they intend to stay. Kinjal sarcastically asks if they've regained their senses. Toshu admits they aren't thinking clearly while 

Pakhi confesses they're so exhausted they can barely stand, with everything feeling numb. Babu ji declares that Anupama will decide whether they can stay, and Bala agrees. Indra supports this by saying Anupama's decision is final. Toshu pleads with everyone to consider how tired they are and insists they've changed. Pakhi also begs for permission to stay. Kinjal says the decision lies with Anupama. 

Anupama sets conditions:

Toshu, desperate, asks Kinjal to let him stay, even urging Pari to tell her mother she wants her father. Pari refuses, bluntly stating that when Toshu wasn't around, there were no arguments, and everyone was happy. Pakhi, on the other hand, turns to Ishu, asking her to speak up. Ishu refuses, reminding Pakhi that she's always scolded her, and leaves the punishment up to Anupama. Toshu turns to Dimple for help, but she replies that it's not her house. Baa intervenes, asking Toshu and Pakhi if they've realised their mistakes. Both admit their faults. Baa allows them to come inside, but Anupama stops them.

Respecting Baa's decision, Anupama permits them to enter but sets conditions. She insists that Toshu and Pakhi fold their hands and apologise to everyone in Asha Bhawan. If forgiven, they can stay, but they must follow all the rules, help out, and respect everyone. Anupama also adds that they must contribute to household expenses. If they accept these terms, they are welcome to stay; otherwise, they may leave. 

Toshu and Pakhi apologise:

Reflecting on what they've endured, Toshu and Pakhi apologise to everyone and promise to help. Anupama, however, tells them to leave, explaining that it was a test to see if they were genuinely remorseful and willing to drop their arrogance. She shuts the door in their faces, leaving Toshu and Pakhi upset. Dolly questions whether Anupama's heart has turned to stone. Anupama responds that her heart has been broken so many times that it has, indeed, become like stone. Despite their desperate pleas, Anupama relents opens the door, and allows them to stay, warning them to leave their attitude outside. Pakhi and Toshu apologise again, and Anupama finally lets them in.

Anuj comforts Anupama, who expresses her frustration, believing that Pakhi and Toshu will never truly understand. To lighten the mood, Anuj offers her a candy and steers the conversation toward their past lives and love for each other. Anupama expresses regret over questioning Anuj's love, but Anuj reassures her, promising to wait for her. Meanwhile, Pakhi and Toshu decide to endure Anupama's torture for a while. Though Anupama cannot overhear their conversation, she is convinced that they are likely bad-mouthing her and Asha Bhawan. Pakhi and Toshu defend themselves, but Anupama dismisses their excuses, telling them to get back to work.

Anupama confronts Dimple:

Hasmuk requests Anupama to safeguard Leela, Dimple, and Kinjal's jewellery, but Anupama refuses, not wanting to take on that responsibility. Despite her refusal, Hasmuk insists. Toshu checks on Anupama as she locks the jewellery in a trunk. Sagar assists her in lifting the trunk and secretly plans to reveal the truth about his relationship with Meenu.

Later, a tearful Mahi confides in Anupama that Ishani and Ansh have been refusing to play with her and even hit her. Ansh explains that Mahi insisted on taking their ball and playing, despite them not wanting to. Pari reveals that Dimple instructed him not to play with Mahi, as she’s no longer part of the Shah family but a member of Asha Bhawan. Furious, Anupama reprimands Dimple for manipulating the children. Anuj, witnessing this, feels grateful that Aadhya has been raised well and isn't like other children these days.
