Anupamaa: Aadhya plans on restricting Anuj and Anupamaa from meeting

Adhik embraces Ishani and apologizes to Baa. He explains that he learned about Pakhi's presence through social media and came to see his daughter. Adhik reveals that Pakhi wasn't responding to his calls and messages, mentioning their divorce without giving a specific reason. Despite fulfilling all her wishes, Adhik expresses his sorrow without complaining about Pakhi. He tells Ishani that he missed her, and Baa sympathizes, considering Pakhi's decision a big mistake.

Kavya and Dimpy criticize Pakhi for separating father and daughter, suggesting it was a sinful act. Baa urges Adhik to spend time with Ishani, and they witness him playing with her. Kavya, however, remarks that women are not always the victims and implies that men can also suffer. Pakhi arrives, claiming Ishani, and the atmosphere becomes tense.

Meanwhile, Shruti is impressed by Anupama's cooking skills and calls Anuj. She plans for them to meet, making Anuj eager. Baa, Kavya, and Dimpy observe Adhik playing with Ishani, and Kavya expresses pity for him, considering the situation from a different perspective. Pakhi intervenes, taking Ishani away from Adhik.

Aadhya comes downstairs, wondering if the food is ready. Shruti praises Anupama's cooking, and Aadhya goes to check. The doorbell rings, and Aadhya sees Anupama, hoping that she and Anuj don't meet. Anuj calls Aadhya, who asks him to delay his arrival while picking up her jacket from the dry cleaner. Aadhya doesn't want Anupama and Anuj to meet.

Pakhi confronts Adhik for touching Ishani and orders him to leave. Adhik argues that he is Ishani's father, not a stranger. Pakhi threatens to make him yearn for seeing Ishani and pushes him away. Aadhya's friends arrive with gifts, and Aadhya falls on Anupama, leading to a song playing. Anuj, on a call with Aadhya, agrees to delay his arrival.

Pakhi accuses Kavya of allowing Ishani to meet Adhik, vowing to make him suffer. Adhik pleads with Pakhi to let him meet Ishani once a month, but she threatens to call the police if he doesn't leave. Aadhya's friends bring gifts, and Aadhya imagines Anuj coming home, but it's just her imagination. Pakhi pushes Adhik out and locks the door.

PRECAP:

 Anupama dances at the party, but Aadhya shouts for her to stop and collapses, leading to Anuj rushing to her side.
