Anupamaa: Anupama warns Barkha & Malti Devi, asserting authority to decide their stay or eviction

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) reflects on Choti and Pakhi's (Muskan Bamne) misbehaviour when Romil (Viraj Kapoor) arrives. Expressing understanding, he comforts Anupama, assuring her that children eventually realize their mistakes. Romil encourages Anupama to smile, emphasizing the kids' potential for change. Anupama appreciates Romil's support and wipes away her tears, advising herself to handle the children when they err.

Dimple contemplates how to attend a dance event and informs Vanraj of her plans. Titu secures passes for the event, leveraging a collaboration offer. Pakhi confronts Dimple, asserting her presence at her father's house and warns against being treated as an unwanted guest. Baa informs Anupama about Pakhi's harsh words to Vanraj. Anuj suggests addressing Pakhi's attitude, and Anupama agrees, deciding to talk to Barkha and Malti Devi. Anuj and Anupama discuss Pakhi's need to change her behaviour.

Barkha confides in Malti Devi about Pakhi's perceived lack of manners, anticipating drama in the Shah household. Malti Devi expresses disdain for the Shah family, labelling them as mannerless, foolish, and cheap, expressing concern that her son might get entangled in their affairs. Barkha echoes this sentiment, including her brother in the critique. As Adhik prepares to leave, Barkha questions his destination, insinuating a connection with Pakhi. Malti Devi accuses Pakhi's mother of orchestrating her son's involvement, comparing it to Pakhi's attempts to control Adhik.

Barkha further criticizes Pakhi, suggesting that she is emulating her mother's controlling behaviour towards her husband. Malti Devi belittles Anupama's qualifications, questioning who would hire a 12th pass or fail, even as a watchman. Adhik challenges Malti Devi's perspective, asking if she would choose a watchman's job over a luxurious life funded by her husband. He defends Anupama's business acumen, commending her despite not being highly educated. Adhik attributes Pakhi's behaviour to her inherent nature rather than her upbringing.

Adhik encourages Barkha and Malti Devi to broaden their understanding, suggesting self-help books instead of indulging in constant planning and plotting. Barkha dismisses Adhik's perspective, claiming he has become an Anupama devotee. Malti predicts they will comprehend the situation when Anupama supposedly seizes Anuj's property. Romil and Anupama overhear their conversation, and Romil playfully initiates the song "Paisa Paisa." Anupama, now aware of their criticisms, approaches them assertively, challenging them to clarify their recent comments.

Vanraj questions Dimple's motives, while Pakhi taunts her for potentially meeting Titu. Anupama confronts Barkha and Malti, urging them to express their opinions directly. She challenges them to write down their thoughts and messages on their phones if they feel ashamed. Anupama playfully assigns Barkha the task of writing an essay titled "Greedy Anupama." She instructs them to discuss their intentions like television villains, planning to apologize superficially and later oust her. Brandishing a knife, Anupama asks Barkha to articulate her feelings, emphasizing the shamefulness of speaking ill against a girl and her mother. Despite offering them apple slices as a symbolic gesture, Barkha and Malti decline. Anupama shares the apple with Romil, affirming her position as Anuj's wife and defending her right to manage his finances. She warns them to consider her words as a final warning, stating her ability to let them stay or throw them out.

Precap: Pakhi spots Dimple at the dance event, leading to confrontations between Vanraj, Titu, and Anupama.
