Anupamaa: Malti Devi plans to frame Anupama against Anuj

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) and Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) share some quality time together. Malti Devi enters the scene, and Anupama inquires about how Malti Devi's (Apara Mehta) dance class went, to which Malti expresses her enjoyment. Anupama then informs Malti that they are busy preparing for Kavya's baby shower. This news seems to irritate Malti, and she questions why the Shah family isn't taking charge of the preparations. Anupama explains that Vanraj is unwell, Kinjal and Toshu are in a hurry, and Dimple is with them, leaving little time for the Shahs to handle the arrangements. This situation prompts Anupama to suggest a change in the baby shower plans.

Anuj chimes in, mentioning that he has transferred the money for gifts, allowing Anupama to make the purchases. Malti also inquires about Anuj's office, but he reassures her not to worry about it. This sequence of events leads Malti to conclude that both Anupama and Anuj are overly concerned about the Shah family's problems, and she resolves to protect Anuj from Anupama's influence.

Meanwhile, Dimple and Neha discuss a dancer named Tapesh. When Tapesh accidentally crosses paths with Dimple, she avoids him. Undeterred, Tapesh attempts to grab Dimple's attention. Anupama and Leela have a conversation about Kavya's baby shower, just as Vanraj and Hasmukh return home. Anupama asks Vanraj if he plans to participate in the veneration with Kavya, but Vanraj walks away without responding. Hasmukh explains that it will take time for Vanraj to return to normal. Leela becomes emotional, pondering how long it will take for Vanraj's recovery, and Anupama advises her to remain patient, expressing faith in Hasmukh's efforts.

Anupama also questions Leela about Kinjal and Toshu's attendance at the baby shower, and Leela admits she is uncertain about their plans. She then warns Anupama about Malti. Anupama decides to spend time with Anuj. Later, Tapesh deliberately obstructs Dimple's path, and Dimple responds rudely, comparing Tapesh's dance to aerobics. Tapesh discovers that Dimple runs a dance class and admires her straightforward and unapologetic demeanor.

Anupama extends an invitation to Toshu and Kinjal for Kavya's baby shower, but Toshu questions whether it's an invitation or a taunt. This infuriates Anupama and Leela, and they scold Toshu. Anupama suggests that Toshu bring Pari along and Kinjal questions why the family can't support their decisions. Anupama expresses disappointment with Kinjal for not supporting Kavya and invites them to the baby shower if they wish to spend quality time with the family before leaving. Malti Devi learns about Choti's annual sports day and plans to use this information to create problems for Anupama in front of Anuj.

Precap: Anupama gives her gold bangle to Leela, and Malti Devi recognizes the bangle.
