Anupama
On August 14, 2024, Anupama finds herself in a challenging yet exciting situation. The day starts with her trying to secure a contract to manage a college canteen. The college principal, initially skeptical, questions her experience. To prove her capability, Anupama serves him a dish, which impresses him greatly. The principal recalls her previous success as a winner of a superstar chef competition. He expresses concerns about the difficulties of running a college canteen but is soon convinced by Anupama’s passion and determination. Eventually, he grants her the canteen contract along with an additional party order, which leaves her overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Pakhi notices that Meenu seems troubled. Meenu, preoccupied with her concerns, is reluctant to share her worries. Kinjal, another character in the story, asks Pakhi to get her wallet and orders Meenu to meet her. Kinjal and Meenu then manage to leave the place unnoticed. As the scene unfolds, Anupama learns that her husband, Anuj, is missing, prompting her to search for him frantically.
Pakhi observes a change in Kinjal, comparing her behavior to Anupama’s. She thinks Kinjal has started to lecture her, just like her. Pakhi is also suspicious about Kinjal and Meenu’s delay in returning. Kinjal, on the other hand, tries to manipulate Pakhi into meeting someone named Sagar. During her search, Anupama eventually finds Anuj, who is puzzled to see her so worried. When she shares the good news about the canteen contract, Anuj credits himself for bringing her luck. They both share a moment of joy, imagining a romantic future together.
Anuj then insists that her accompany him to the temple, which she agrees to. On the other side, Kinjal urges Meenu to meet Sagar and return quickly, assuring her that she will manage Pakhi’s potential anger. Meenu, however, is anxious about her meeting with Sagar. When they finally meet, Sagar harshly tells Meenu to stay away from him, stating that he doesn’t want to cause more trouble for Anupama by getting involved with her. Though hurt by Sagar’s words, Meenu decides to keep her distance.
Bala, another character, inquires about Sagar’s behavior towards Meenu. Sagar reveals that he is deliberately being cold to Meenu because he believes it’s necessary for her future. He is aware that Meenu might have developed feelings for him, but due to their different social standings, he chooses to keep his distance. Despite his decision, Sagar feels guilty for hurting Meenu. Kinjal notices Meenu’s sadness upon her return, realizing that the meeting with Sagar did not go well.
Later, Anupama and Anuj visit the temple, where she expresses her gratitude to God for the successful deal. Anuj, however, has a more personal prayer. He asks God to bring Adya, a character not fully explained in this episode, back to them. Both Anupama and Anuj leave the temple filled with hope for the future.
As the episode concludes, Anupama and Anuj are shocked to see Adya being taken away by someone. They attempt to chase after Adya, setting up a suspenseful and emotional cliffhanger for the next episode.
