Anupamaa: Vanraj catches Pakhi with Aarush

Tonight's Anupamaa episode starts with Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) receiving the disheartening news of Spice and Chutney's imminent closure. Memories of Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) flood Anuj's mind as he processes the news alongside Shruti (Sukirti Kandpal), who shares his surprise. Anuj learns that Yashpal is responsible for taking the loan, leaving Yashdeep unaware of the situation. Shruti expresses concern over Anupama's potential fate while Anuj stands in stunned disbelief.

Vanraj reflects on Anupama's predictable condition-setting behaviour, while Toshu acknowledges the validity of Anupama's stance regarding Samar's share. Vanraj decides that Samar's share will be inherited by Ansh instead of Dimple, expressing doubt over Dimple's commitment to marrying Titu. Concerned for Ansh's future, Vanraj contemplates the family's dynamics.

Vanraj confronts Aarush:

Hasmukh returns home injured after an altercation with goons, inciting a heated argument between Leela and Biji. Yashdeep intervenes, urging them to maintain distance from each other. As Biji and Leela anxiously await Anupama's arrival, Anuj makes his way to the restaurant, demanding a meeting with Yashdeep. Vanraj resolves to file a police complaint regarding Hasmuk's assault, but Toshu dissuades him out of fear. Spotting Pakhi with Aarush, Vanraj confronts them, warning Aarush against any advances towards Pakhi. Toshu intervenes, escorting Pakhi home.

In the midst of the chaos, Yashdeep engages in a conversation with Anuj, who expresses his interest in acquiring the restaurant to honour Anupama's legacy. Yashdeep agrees to consider Anuj's proposal, prompting Anuj to offer alternative investors if needed. Yashdeep requests time to deliberate.

Anupama faces the judges:

Anupama accidentally encounters Anuj and quickly exits the scene. Leela remarks on Anuj's frequent visits to the restaurant, while Yashdeep encourages Anupama to audition for a cooking competition. Despite her nerves, Anupama participates in the audition, impressing the judges with her dish, Shahi Tukda. However, a language barrier arises during the interaction, with Anupama emphasising the importance of taste over language. The judges inquire about her motivation for participating, to which Anupama responds with determination to win.

Precap for the next episode:

In the upcoming episode of Anupamaa, Anupama and Aadhya face injury, yet Anupama finds the courage to persevere in the competition.
