Anupamaa: Pakhi's Rakhi demand to shift project responsibility to Adhik

Tonight's episode opens with Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) discussing Raksha Bandhan and the ongoing issues in both households. Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) receives a voice message from Bapuji, inviting them to celebrate the festival. However, Vanraj insists on only bringing Pakhi and Choti, excluding Adhik, causing concerns. Anuj predicts that more drama awaits them.

Kitchen clash at Shah residence: 

At the Shah residence, Baa expresses a desire to temporarily remove the partition drawn by Dimple (Nishi Saxena) in the kitchen, hoping for unity on this special day. However, Dimple argues that the festival is for them, not her, given the restrictions placed on her brother's entry. Tensions rise. Baa starts preparing Prasad, and Kinjal (Nidhi Shah) and Kavya (Madalsa Sharma) enter. Kinjal asks Baa to handle the Pooja preparations, while Kavya offers to help but is rejected by Baa, who considers her a troublemaker. Kavya expresses how she has gone from being the favoured daughter-in-law to an outsider. Kinjal consoles her, suggesting that if she's willing to make Prasad, she should proceed, and Kinjal will handle any objections. Kinjal empathizes with Kavya despite her own struggles with forgiveness.

Kapadia house moments: 

Meanwhile, at the Kapadia house, Anuj and Anupama are stunned looking at each other's beauty and share a captivating moment with a spice of Anuj's flirtiness along with Anupama's blush. Choti enters the scene with a sad expression and expresses her desire to tie Rakhi to Romil (Viraj Kapoor), hoping to bring joy to the celebration.

Gift dispute and family dynamics: 

Dimple is taken aback by the abundance of gifts for Pakhi and Choti and questions Samar's involvement, assuming he footed the bill. Tensions escalate, with Samar and Toshu defending their decision to buy the gifts jointly. Vanraj (Sudhanshu Pandey) intervenes, urging Dimple to maintain harmony for the festive day.

Rakhi tying at Kapadia house: 

Choti is hurt when she sees Barkha tying Rakhi to Adhik without them. Anupama consoles her, and Barkha expresses her love for Adhik. Adhik admits to not having a gift due to his financial situation. Pakhi steps in, offering her jewellery set for Barkha, emphasizing family unity. Despite initial reluctance, Barkha accepts. Choti asks Romil's permission to tie Rakhi, and after some hesitation, he agrees. Anupama asks Pakhi to tie Rakhi to Romil, but Pakhi decides not to and plans to go to the Shah residence instead. As Pakhi prepares to visit Shah's residence, Anupama intervenes and extends unwelcome for Adhik. Amidst the argument between Anupama and Pakhi, Pakhi asserts her desire to visit the Shah residence but with a condition: Adhik must handle Mr. Talwar's project. Anupama advises her to consider the project's importance, sparking a heated argument.

Precap: 

In the precap of Anupamaa, Anupama directly questions Adhik about Pakhi's whereabouts. However, Adhik retaliates by accusing Anupama in front of the Shah family, claiming that she coerced Pakhi into leaving the house. Anupama responds, challenging Adhik's accusation and asking whether she should have remained silent instead. In a tense exchange, Adhik admonishes Anupama to stay within her limits, expressing his fear that Pakhi might take drastic actions. Anupama, firmly and resolutely, countered with a simple "No."
