Anupamaa: Anuj grapples with the decision of whether to wish Anupama on her birthday

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) reminisces about Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) on her birthday, marking the occasion alone and feeling deeply emotional. Meanwhile, Anupama directs her prayers to God, earnestly asking for Toshu's presence and anticipating his visit to meet Vanraj. Pari and Kinjal warmly extend their birthday wishes to Anupama, with Pari presenting her with a heartfelt card, bringing joy to Anupama's heart. Leela and Vanraj become aware of Anupama's birthday, prompting Vanraj to inquire about any gifts from Anuj.

Aadhya confronts Anuj about the absence of a birthday cake for Anupama, urging him not to go and meet her to avoid hurting Shruti and expressing her need for his presence. Anuj reassures Aadhya of his intentions to only go to the office, unaware that Shruti has overheard their conversation. Meanwhile, Vanraj remarks on the lack of gifts from Yashdeep and Biji, with Leela speculating on their motives, while Anupama defends Biji against any criticism.

Anupama insists that Vanraj calls Toshu before she takes any action against him, while Dimple's excitement catches Kavya's attention. When asked, Dimple shares the news of Titu being in the USA and shows his ring to Kavya, sparking excitement in her. Kavya offers to take on household chores for Dimple, urging her to relax and enjoy some shopping. 

Anupama's birthday celebration:

Anupama receives a delightful birthday surprise with wishes from Vikram, Yashdeep, Biji, and others. Anupama believes elders should also celebrate their birthdays and fondly remember Samar. Yashdeep encourages Anupama to unwrap her birthday gift while Dimple and Kavya inquire about Hasmukh's activities in the kitchen. Hasmukh, feeling helpless for not being with Anupama, reveals that he's preparing custard for her birthday. Kavya and Dimple celebrate Anupama's special day, with Hasmukh expressing his wishes for Anupama's exoneration and prosperity. 

Anupama is moved to see her gift, while Yashdeep takes the opportunity to promote Anupama's chai masala, evoking strong emotions in her. Meanwhile, Hasmukh reflects on his regret for not supporting Anupama and receives reassurance from Kavya and praise from Dimple. He resolves to stand by Kavya, Dimple, Mahi, and Titu whenever needed, hoping that Anupama's day is filled with happiness.

Vanraj declines to attend the party:

Anupama decides to open the restaurant for her birthday celebration, despite Biji's usual practice of not doing so for staff birthdays, choosing to mark the occasion. Pari eagerly anticipates joining in the festivities, and Kinjal informs Leela about Yashdeep and Biji's plans for Anupama's birthday. Leela decides to attend the party, while Vanraj declines. Anuj struggles with the decision of whether to extend his wishes to Anupama, attempting to reach out to her via phone.
