Anupamaa: Kotharis offer catering contract to Anu, but a confrontation with Prem's grandmother raises doubts

Anupamaa on Star Plus, featuring Rupali Ganguly, Adrija Roy, Shivam Khajuria, and Spreha Chatterjee, explores the tangled relationships between Prem, Rahi, and Mahi. Following an unexpected revelation, Anupama chooses Rahi as Prem's life partner, leaving Mahi heartbroken. Once an ardent admirer of Anupama, Mahi's disappointment turns into animosity towards her.

However, in the current storyline, Mahi extends an apology to Rahi for her past actions, assuring her that she has no objections to her union with Prem. She claims to have accepted that one-sided love cannot bring happiness. However, despite her assurances, Mahi secretly schemes to win Prem back. Clinging to her engagement ring as a symbol of their bond, she remains resolute in her belief that Prem is her first and only true love.

In the upcoming episode of Anupamaa, Prem's mother, Mrs. Kothari, visits Anu Ki Rasoi with a catering proposal for Anupama. While Anupama, Rahi, Jhanki, and the other staff are busy working, Mrs Kothari arrives with a cheerful demeanour. Anupama is surprised to see her again, and Mrs. Kothari explains that they are organising a pooja at their home. Impressed by the prasad Anupama prepared earlier, she decides to hire Anu Ki Rasoi for the event. The news of securing such a prestigious contract brings excitement to the team.

Mrs. Kothari mentions that her mother-in-law, a devout follower of Shrinath Ji, has strict expectations and demands everything to be perfect for the pooja. She emphasises that any mistakes or carelessness during the ceremony would not be tolerated. Anupama reassures her that they will give their best, understanding the pressure of dealing with the mother-in-law.

Later, Toshu shares the good news that within just ten minutes of posting about the Kothari family contract on social media, four inquiries have already come in for their services. However, Leela cautions everyone, pointing out that wealthy clients often have tiny hearts.

While shopping for groceries, Anupama, Jhanki, and Radha encounter a dangerous situation on the road. A speeding car nearly hits Radha, but Anupama quickly steps in and saves her from the potential accident. Anupama then stops the car to confront the driver and passenger about their reckless behaviour. She firmly reprimands them for their negligence and questions what would have happened if the child had been injured.

However, the woman in the car turns out to be Prem's grandmother and Mrs. Kothari's mother-in-law. Anupama unknowingly ends up arguing with the elder, raising concerns about how this encounter might impact the catering contract once the connection is revealed.
