Anupamaa: Kinjal becomes the second Anupama; chooses to leave Paritosh, not the Shahs

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, Kinjal finally gathers the courage to speak up, standing in support of Anupama's words. Overwhelmed with emotions, she admits that for years she has carried the burden of a broken relationship, but now she can no longer continue.

Kinjal Ends Her Marriage with Paritosh

She reminds Paritosh that she had warned him many times that one more mistake would end their marriage, but every time she stopped herself for the sake of Hasmuk, Leela, and most importantly, Pari. This time, however, she refuses to hold back.

Kinjal makes it clear that to stay connected with the Shah family, she does not need to stay with Paritosh. She declares that instead of living in the house as a daughter-in-law, she will remain there as a daughter, and asks Paritosh to leave.

Witnessing this, Anupama feels proud of Kinjal for finally taking a stand. Kinjal, with folded hands, tells Paritosh that she is done with him, leaving everyone present deeply emotional, including Pari, who is watching through a video call.

Pari Supports Her Mother

Paritosh tries to bring up their daughter, Pari, but Kinjal assures him that she will take care of her. At that moment, Pari interrupts, saying she has seen and heard everything. Heartbroken, she expresses that after what Paritosh has done, she feels ashamed to call him her father. She then tells Kinjal that she fully supports her mother's decision, which brings relief to Kinjal. Anupama steps forward to comfort and console her.

Shah Family Disowns Paritosh

At this point, Anupama steps in, highlighting that women often suffer because of their tolerance. On the occasion of Ganpati Visarjan, she declares that they all end their relationship with Paritosh.

Leela echoes the sentiment, stating that while Kinjal has proved herself as a true daughter of the Shah household, Paritosh never lived up to being their son. Anupama then emphasises that it is time Paritosh learns his lesson and firmly asks him to leave.

Meanwhile, Khyati remains haunted by Aryan's memories, admitting to herself that she can never erase the pain of his loss. Back at the Shah house, Paritosh finally makes the decision to walk away.

Though Kinjal breaks down in tears, Hasmuk reminds her not to waste her emotions on someone like him. Leela then insists they should proceed with the Ganpati immersion rituals and urges Anupama to confront Gautam.

Anupama Confronts Gautam at the Kothari House

Pari, too, is left in tears, lamenting that she has a father like Paritosh, who shows no remorse for his actions. Raja steps in to comfort her, assuring her that she is not alone in her pain.

At the Kothari residence, Parag questions Anupama about her visit. Anupama reveals that she has come with a major disclosure and gathers everyone together. Suspicious of her intentions, Vasundhara accuses Anupama of creating unnecessary drama. However, Anupama clarifies that she is there to uncover the actual truth. Seeing this, Khyati fears that her secrets may come out.

Without hesitation, Anupama exposes Gautam and criticises the Kotharis for refusing to trust Prarthana. To strengthen her claims, she presents video proof against Gautam. Though Vasundhara asks her to leave, promising that they will handle Gautam on their own, Anupama refuses and insists on narrating all of Gautam's wrongdoings in front of the family.

Dance Ranis Reflect and Console Kinjal

In the meantime, the Dance Ranis decide to head back. Sarita points out that the Shah family should not assume Paritosh left because of their interference. They also wonder whether Anupama will return to Mumbai with them, as they begin missing their families deeply.

Later, they find Kinjal shattered and try to console her. Preet, in particular, questions how she endured Paritosh for so long. Kinjal credits Anupama, saying it was her strength and guidance that allowed her to withstand everything.

Gautam Justifies Himself

Back at the Kothari house, Anupama demands that Gautam confess. While Gautam tries to justify himself by claiming he only wanted to help the Kotharis, Rahi confronts him, stating that it was never his role to blindly support her. Anupama scolds him further, adding that instead of respecting his real parents, Gautam chose to prioritise the Kotharis at every step.

Precap for the Next Episode

In the precap, Anupama loses her patience and slaps Gautam. Parag stands by her decision, vowing that he will become the first father-in-law to throw his son-in-law out. Ultimately, Parag announces that he has disowned Gautam.
