Anupamaa: Toshu and Pakhi clean up cow dung after Anupama's stern warning

Tonight's Anupamaa episode begins with Anupama speaking to Anuj, acknowledging that he waited 26 years for her and loved her deeply, something beyond her comprehension. She reflects that while they are together now, their daily struggles, arguments, and pain have overshadowed the love he carried for so long. Anupama remarks that in his haste to marry her, they rushed into things and likens their situation to a broken glass—if she tries to fix it, she might end up getting hurt. 

She questions whether they need to label their relationship and admits she loves him deeply but doesn't want to cause any harm to Aadhya or to him. Seeing him upset or creating resentment in Aadhya is something she can't bear. Confessing her fear of marriage and her own insecurities, Anupama apologises. 

Anupama forgives Sagar:

In response, Anuj also expresses his regret, apologising for pressuring her into marriage. He reassures Anupama that he will wait for her to make her decision, offering his unwavering support. Anupama, in turn, feels sorry for causing him pain, but Anuj promises he will stand by her no matter what. He decides that he will remain by her side, living as her partner, until she is ready to take the next step.

Anupama's reluctance causes a rift in Anuj's heart, but he remains optimistic that she will eventually come around. He decides to continue being her companion, waiting patiently for her decision. Anuj asks Anupama to assist with Sagar and Meenu's matter.

Meanwhile, Sagar approaches Anupama and apologises for his previous actions. Anupama questions whether he can provide Meenu with the love, respect, and a good future that she deserves. Sagar reassures her of his intentions, and Anupama advises him to focus on his career while also forgiving him. She pledges to support both Sagar and Meenu moving forward, and advises Sagar to follow her guidance carefully. Sagar, on the other hand, is worried about Meenu's family's reaction, while Bala promises to back Anupama's decisions. Anuj also steps in to defend Sagar and Meenu.

Anupama confronts Toshu:

Later, Anupama confronts Toshu, accusing him of stealing Leela's jewellery. Toshudemands evidence, to which Anupama replies that if she had proof, he would already be behind bars. She then shifts her attention back to supporting Sagar and Meenu, despite Dolly raising concerns. Dolly questions Anupama's encouragement of their relationship.

In response, Anupama explains to Dolly that Sagar and Meenu will focus on their careers before thinking about marriage. Dolly is outraged, questioning how Anupama could support their relationship, but Anupama remains firm in her stance. As tensions rise, Dolly and Paritosh join forces to retaliate against Anupama. Leela, too, questions Anupama's choice to stand by Sagar and Meenu, accusing her of potentially ruining Meenu's future. Anupama, however, remains calm and urges Leela to trust Sagar. Leela, frustrated, warns Hasmuk not to side with Anupama on this matter, but Anupama pays no mind to Leela's outburst.

Kinjal's suggestion leaves Dimple shocked:

Moving on, Anupama instructs Pakhi and Toshu, who were drinking tea, to clean up the cow dung. Toshu and Pakhi suggest getting Sagar's help instead. Anupama asks Sagar to do it, and he immediately starts following her order. Anupama then insists that Toshu and Pakhi either follow her orders or leave the house. Fearing they might have to leave, both hesitantly join Sagar in cleaning up the cow dung. Watching this, Dimple becomes angry, especially seeing Pakhi and Toshu doing such tasks, and confides in Titu that Anupama is being too authoritative. Titu dismisses her concerns, advising her to calm down. Meanwhile, Kinjal supports Anupama's decision and suggests Dimple consider moving to Mumbai, which leaves Dimple shocked.

Elsewhere, Dolly pulls Meenu out of the house, worrying Anupama and Anuj. Sagar follows closely behind to be with Meenu. Later, Anupama receives a catering order and excitedly shares the news with the members of Asha Bhawan. She eagerly awaits the official contract.
