Anupamaa: Anupama suggests Pakhi should transfer Ishani's custody to Adhik

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) reflects on his feelings for Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) and attempts to write poetry but struggles to focus. Meanwhile, Ishani returns home, causing Dimple to worry about her. Kavya offers Pakhi a glass of water, but she bursts into anger. Hasmuk then approaches Pakhi, seeking forgiveness for his mistake, but she refuses to forgive him. Despite acknowledging her own flaws as a mother, Pakhi expresses her love for Ishani and blames Hasmuk for nearly losing her. She anticipates that the Shahs will criticise Hasmuk. Anupama intervenes, urging Pakhi to be quiet, but Hasmuk continues to seek her forgiveness.

Pakhi questions Hasmuk's action:

Pakhi questions why Hasmuk didn't ask Dimple to give medicine to Ishani and criticises his constant interference. She gives Hasmuk a harsh scolding, prompting Vanraj to ask her to stop. However, Pakhi persists, and Vanraj agrees that Hasmuk and Leela should remain silent, suggesting they take a rest. Anupama defends Hasmuk, pointing out that Pakhi is being disrespectful and that Vanraj is enabling her behaviour.

Anupama argues that Pakhi should not hold Hasmuk's one mistake against him forever, while Vanraj insists that Hasmuk's error is significant. Anupama then questions Pakhi about why she didn't give Ishani her medicine. Kinjal, Dimple, and Kavya admit that Pakhi avoided Ishani, leading Hasmuk to step in. Pakhi laughs off Anupama's accusations, causing Anupama to confront Vanraj for siding with Pakhi over Hasmuk. Vanraj tells Anupama to stay out of their issues and advises Leela and Hasmuk to avoid involvement with the children.

Anupama's suggestion for Vanraj:

Feeling emotional, Hasmuk and Leela are consoled by Anupama. Hasmuk admits that Pakhi is right and expresses feeling like a burden. Leela agrees, and Anupama feels deeply saddened by their situation. She prays to God to spare elderly people from suffering and to grant happiness to Hasmuk and Leela. Overwhelmed, Hasmuk contemplates suicide but is stopped by Leela, who reminds him that life and death are not in their control. Vanraj interrupts Anupama's attempt to lecture him, and she urges him to comfort Hasmuk. Vanraj decides to take responsibility for Ansh and Ishani. Anupama insists that Vanraj must stop Pakhi from mistreating Hasmuk and Leela and suggests that Adhik might win custody. Unbeknownst to them, Pakhi overhears their conversation from afar.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Anupama plans to cook for the Shahs, encounters Anuj in the market, and Adhik encourages Anuj and Anupama to reconcile.
