Anupamaa: Shruti speculates on Anupama's return to Anuj's life

In tonight's Anupamaa, Kinjal (Nidhi Shah) shares her number with Anupama (Rupali Ganguly), urging her to make a call. Anupama, assuring Kinjal, blesses Pari and Kinjal. Kinjal, in turn, asks Anupama to take care, leading to Anupama breaking down after Kinjal's departure. Yashdeep offers water and inquires about Kinjal and Pari. Anupama shares her son's reluctance to see her, expressing gratitude that Kinjal and Pari visited her. Yashdeep empathizes with Anupama.

Anuj (Gaurav Khanna) reminisces about Anupama, recalling Devika's call. Shruti questions Anuj's preoccupation with the sky, decoding his stress. Anuj declines to share, sparking Shruti's curiosity about his restlessness. Anuj's sudden interest in Joshiben raises suspicions for Shruti, fearing disruption of her happiness.

Anupama contemplates Toshu and encounters Aadhya at the restaurant. Aadhya, speaking rudely, questions Anupama's return to India. Anupama reveals her determination to stay in the USA until she discovers her purpose, leaving Aadhya upset. Ansh refuses admission to Ishani in his school, Mahi supports her, and Pakhi advises ignoring Mahi. Kavya is offended, and Vanraj supports Pakhi.

Anupama senses something burning, getting restless. KD asks about her well-being, and both detect a burning smell. A fire breaks out, trapping Anupama and KD. Anuj becomes anxious, uttering Anupama's name in his sleep. Aadhya and Shruti rush to help Anuj while Anupama struggles to save KD. Anuj expresses concern, Aadhya worries about evil eyes on her house, and Anupama faints.

The fire brigade aids them, and Yashdeep searches for Anupama. Anuj apologizes for scaring Aadhya and Shruti, expressing worry for Anupama. Aadhya senses impending trouble, thinking Anuj mentioned Anupama's name, while Biji and Yashdeep assist Anupama. Observing Anuj twice mentioning Anupama's name in connection with his past, Shruti starts contemplating the possibility of Anupama re-entering his life.

Precap: Anuj and Shruti discover the restaurant's temporary closure, and Yashdeep and Biji invite Anupama to stay with them.
