Anupamaa: Here's how Anupama's life looks after a few years' leap

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, a few years later, Leela is seen offering her prayers to God while Hasmuk searches for his misplaced watch. The two get into a minor argument about not visiting the park as planned. Leela suggests that Hasmuk should go along with Anupama instead. Meanwhile, Anupama tends to Kaveri, reminding her to pray for her daughter on her birthday. At that moment, Paritosh approaches Anupama, informing her that the investor wishes to speak with her.

The investor asks Anupama to justify why they should invest in Anu Ki Rasoi. Anupama tries to assure them that trust is the foundation of her business. However, the investor declines, stating that they are unwilling to put money into a small venture. Disappointed, Anupama feels disheartened, and Toshu criticizes her for not saving enough money. 

Anupama remembers Anuj:

Despite the setback, Anupama remains optimistic that her business will eventually flourish, while Toshu presses her to focus more on profits. Anupama then emphasizes the importance of health when suddenly, Ansh accidentally hits her with a football. She talks to Ansh, asking if he has a girlfriend. He casually mentions that he often changes girlfriends and shares his views on love, which reminds Anupama of Anuj. She also reflects on the fact that today is her daughter's birthday.

Later, Anupama offers tea to Leela, who coldly ignores her. Anupama then asks Pakhi to help with lunch as she skipped her breakfast duty. Pakhi retorts that she first makes coffee for Ishani, who, according to her, needs to maintain her appearance as a model, unlike Anupama, who spends time in the kitchen. In response, Anupama decides to attend a workshop.

Kinjal's attitude changes towards Anupama:

On the other hand, Kinjal tells Pari to lose weight, while Pakhi compliments Ishani on her slim figure. Kinjal insists that Pari should watch her weight, but Toshu encourages Pari to eat and enjoy life. This prompts Kinjal to blame Paritosh for spoiling their daughter.

Anupama comforts Pari, advising her not to feel insecure about her weight, but Kinjal snaps at Anupama, accusing her of failing to manage her own daughter. Anupama is left stunned by Kinjal's harsh words. Later, Ansh, Pari, and Ishani gather to welcome Mahi. Anupama decides to celebrate Mahi's birthday, but things take an awkward turn when Mahi is surprised to see Choti's name on her birthday cake. 

Apologizing immediately, Anupama explains, but Mahi reassures her, saying she was raised by Anupama and doesn't mind Choti's name on the cake. Toshu asks Pakhi to remove Choti's name, but Anupama intervenes, giving Pakhi a stern talking-to. Soon after, Hasmuk advises the Shah family to appreciate Anupama and acknowledge the battles she's facing. Anupama becomes increasingly uneasy as her thoughts turn to Anuj and Adhya. She senses that Adhya might be in Dwarka.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Anupama and Adhya are seen dancing together in perfect sync. Meanwhile, Prem saves Anupama and advises her to travel to Dwarka to uncover something or someone she may have overlooked.
