Anupamaa: Meenu sets a condition when prospective groom’s family visits

In Star Plus' Anupamaa, recent twists have kept viewers hooked, particularly after the six-month leap that revealed Aadhya is alive, defying previous assumptions. As Anupamaa embarks on a journey to seek justice for Anuj and reunite with Aadhya by Janmashtami, another narrative quietly gains momentum—the unresolved love story between Meenu and Sagar.

The current storyline focuses on Vanraj, who, upon noticing Meenu's growing feelings for Sagar, becomes concerned that she might be heading down the wrong path. To prevent this, he asks Baa to arrange Meenu's marriage as soon as possible, declaring that her well-being is his responsibility. Baa, taking swift action, unexpectedly announces Meenu's marriage, leaving both Meenu and the entire Shah family in shock. True to her character, Baa doesn't hold back and mocks Meenu about the laser light treatment she recently underwent, hinting that it’s time for her to settle down. Realizing that the family is serious about her wedding, Meenu is left to face the reality of the situation.

Baa further reveals that Vanraj has already chosen a groom for Meenu—a doctor from a well-respected family. The family is scheduled to visit that evening to meet Meenu, and Baa instructs Kinjal to make sure that Meenu looks her best for the occasion.

In the upcoming episode of Anupamaa, a reputed and renowned family of doctors arrives to meet Meenu. With no choice, Meenu, following the advice given to her, presents herself to the family. She plays along, dressing appropriately and behaving well, without making it obvious that she is uninterested in marrying anyone other than Sagar. However, when the conversation shifts to questioning her, tensions arise. 

During the discussion, Meenu refuses to work in their esteemed five-star hospital facility after the marriage, expressing her commitment to serving those in need. She defends her decision by explaining that one of her main reasons for studying medicine was to help the underprivileged, not to work in a hospital that only caters to those who can afford it.

For those unfamiliar with the backstory, Meenu had informed Sagar about her upcoming marriage, but Sagar feigned indifference. Hurt by his apparent lack of concern, Meenu resolves to marry someone else, leading Sagar to break down privately.

The bond between Sagar and Meenu began when Sagar saved her from ragging, sparking a growing connection. However, fearing the repercussions, Sagar advised Meenu not to meet him again. Despite this, a heartbroken Meenu decides to confront Sagar. She confesses her feelings to him at a coffee shop, but Sagar rejects her. Even after Meenu repeatedly questions him about his true feelings, Sagar denies having any romantic interest.
