Anupamaa: Dimple is arrested for theft

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) admits he doesn’t truly love Shruti (Sukirti Kandpal) yet is all set to marry her. On the other hand, his heart belongs to Anu (Rupali Ganguly), but he feels he cannot express this. He believes that destiny, guided by Kanha ji, has intertwined their fates, symbolized by Anu’s name on his palm. Anuj confesses that his affection for Anu has remained unchanged, asserting that he will always love her. He asks what he should do, confessing that only her name resides in his heart and mind.

Anupama, busy with Dimple and Tapish’s impending marriage and investigating Tapish’s past to prevent Mr. Shah from stopping the wedding, suggests to Devika that they will part ways once these events conclude. She apologizes to her for always scolding her despite their friendship. Devika advises Anupama not to suppress her feelings, warning that life is unpredictable and she might miss her chance. Anupama, fearing to lose hope, listens as Devika prays for guidance for the two lovers.

Vanraj inquires about Titu:

Anuj prays to Kanha ji, asking for divine care. Meanwhile, Kavya searches for Mahi’s belongings and finds a photo of her and Vanraj’s wedding, which evokes a sense of loss as she wonders where their love went. She attempts to hug Vanraj, but he walks away, unaware of her emotions. As Anupama and Devika leave the house, they encounter Anuj, who tells them that Babu ji asked him to pick them up. Devika sits in the back while Anuj assists Anupama into the car, signaling her to fasten her seatbelt.

They arrive at the sangeet function where Ishu, Mahi, Pari, and Ansh perform a dance. Kinjal and Toshu commend the performance, learning that Aadhya taught the kids their moves. Anupama watches as the children run to Aadhya, hugging her joyfully. Vanraj inquires about Titu, to which Dimple says went to see a friend injured in an accident. Anupama expresses her concern to Devika, while Aadhya shares her success with Shruti over the phone, though she’s soon drawn back to dancing with the kids.

Dimple gets accused of theft:

Dimple tries to call Titu but gets no response, leading to growing worry. Kinjal and Kavya reassure her that he will show up. Gulati arrives with Rahul, introducing him as his new manager. Toshu confronts Rahul, who explains that he accepted Gulati’s job offer after the closure of their previous venture. Anuj greets Gulati, who seems pleased despite sensing Anuj’s discomfort. Rahul avoids Anupama by attending to catering arrangements. Neighbors question Baa about Anupama’s attendance, to which Babu ji responds positively, suggesting Baa join them for a couple’s dance. Anupama reassures the neighbors that Baa will be fine once her name is cleared.

The children are eager for the sangeet to start, and despite Titu's absence, Dimple initiates the dancing with Kavya, Kinjal, Devika, and Pakhi. The kids bring Anuj and Anupama to the dance floor, where they dance together, upsetting Aadhya but drawing smiles and applause from others. The celebration is interrupted by the arrival of the police, who announce Dimple’s arrest for theft, leaving everyone in shock.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Gulati warns Toshu to stay silent for his benefit, implying consequences if he speaks out. Anupama confronts Gulati, slapping him and expressing her frustrations over the humiliation and taunts she has endured because of him. Gulati retaliates, causing Anupama to fall, but Anuj catches her, glaring at Gulati with anger.
