Anupamaa: Anuj vows to meet Anupama and find the answers he needs

Tonight's Anupamaa episode commences with Vikram's inquiry into Anupama's (Rupali Ganguly) distress, prompting her to confess that the memories of their loved ones will always haunt them. Vikram rationalizes that they cannot alter the past, a sentiment Anupama concurs with, expressing her hope for the safety and happiness of her family members before resuming her work.

In another scene, Dimple (Nishi Saxena) engages with Ishani in play while Pakhi introduces her friends to Leela, instructing Dimple to attend to them. This sparks discontent in Leela. Despite Pakhi's attempts to gain Ishani's attention, Dimple becomes the centre of focus, leading to Pakhi's frustration. Pakhi's friends question Dimple's marital status, upsetting Leela, but Vanraj intervenes as Dimple is about to fetch more cookies for Pakhi.

Simultaneously, Aadhya frets about preventing Anuj from going to the restaurant. She concocts a last-minute plea, claiming an urgent project submission, and implores Anuj and Shruti for assistance. Anuj, however, expresses the urgency of his restaurant commitment, causing Aadhya's distress.

Anupama contemplates preparing the dish for Shruti and AK at the restaurant, considering AK's injury. Vikram lauds her cooking skills, assuring her that anything she makes will be appreciated. Meanwhile, Vanraj admonishes Pakhi for mistreating Dimple in front of her friends, compelling Pakhi to apologize. Leela acknowledges Vanraj's intervention but suggests that stricter parenting could have prevented Pakhi's behaviour years ago.

Vanraj reflects on his concern for losing Ansh and his dedication not to let Dimple leave the house with him. Anupama, engaged with the music band, agrees to teach them dance steps and notices a girl named Angel following her. Anupama is shocked when she sees Angel with Toshu and realizes she is Pari. Emotions well up as Toshu ignores Anupama and leaves, leaving her in a state of astonishment.

At the restaurant, Anupama grapples with seeing Toshu, wondering if it's real or hallucinating. Overwhelmed with thoughts of Anuj, Choti, and Toshu, she accidentally drops the food prepared for Shruti and AK. Upon receiving a call from Shruti, Anupama is apprised of Aadhya's panic attack, prompting her to agree to graciously send food to their home. Simultaneously, both Aadhya and Anuj silently resolve to shield one another from the potential impact of Anupama's presence.

Precap: Anupama is playing in the snow outside the restaurant, and both Anupama and Anuj, unaware of each other's presence, sense a connection.
