Anupamaa: Shruti advises Anuj to stop forcing Anupama into Aadhya's life

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Aadhya excitedly views the birthday decorations, unaware of Anupama's (Rupali Ganguly) involvement. Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) is pleased that Aadhya likes them, but Aadhya becomes upset when Shruti's nurse reveals that Anupama did the decorating. Aadhya confronts Anuj, questioning why he involved Anupama. Shruti (Sukirti Kandpal) also asks why Anuj didn't keep Anupama out of the celebration. Anuj explains that Aadhya is losing her temper. Aadhya angrily declares that Anupama ruined her special day and wishes for Anupama's day to be ruined in return, making Anuj angry.

Meanwhile, Anupama is excited about her big day as the food critics are arriving at the restaurant today. As they arrive, she introduces herself and her staff. Elsewhere, Anuj worries about his failure to reconcile Aadhya and Anupama and dreads telling Anupama about Aadya's reaction. The critics express their eagerness to experience the food at Spice and Chutney. In their conversation, Anupama proudly mentions that the Super Star Chef trophy is her pride.

Aadhya apologises to Anuj:

Aadhya voices her hatred for Anupama, while Shruti feels that Anuj shouldn't have involved Anupama. She advises Aadhya to calm down and plans to celebrate Aadhya's birthday elsewhere. This excites Aadhya, and Shruti asks her to apologise to Anuj for her outburst, to which Aadhya agrees. Meanwhile, Anupama is busy attending to the food critics. Yashdeep thinks Anupama is likely enhancing their day and decides to discuss opening a new branch with her after the event. Anupama warmly welcomes the guests at Spice and Chutney.

Aadhya apologises to Anuj and asks him not to be sad, mentioning Shruti's plan to celebrate her birthday outside. Anuj thanks Shruti, who advises him to stop forcing Anupama into Aadhya's life and to send Anupama away if Aadhya has issues with her. Toshu serves a customer pav bhaji, but the customer gets angry as it is the wrong dish. Anupama becomes anxious and intervenes when Toshu argues with the customer, warning him to be more careful.

Yashdeep plans to surprise Anupama:

Aadhya looks for her birthday cake, and Anuj assures her that he has it, determined that Anupama will be part of the celebration. Biji feels uneasy and thinks Anupama should handle everything, praying for things to go well. Yashdeep contacts Anupama to discuss the current situation at Spice and Chutney, and she reassures him that all is well. Yashdeep plans to surprise Anupama. She prepares a special dish for the food critics as the episode concludes.
