Anupama’s Past Haunts Her, Finds Strength in New Friends
The episode begins with Anupama on a train, happily looking at a photo of her daughter. Her pleasant mood is disrupted at a chaotic train station where she helps an elderly tiffin delivery man who falls in the rush. Anupama scolds the indifferent crowd, emphasizing that a lost life is irreplaceable, unlike a missed train. This incident makes her reflect on the impersonal and fast-paced life in Mumbai. Meanwhile, at the Shah house, Leela and Hasmukh return from a yoga session with Kavya. Vanraj arrives and informs Kavya about her sonography appointment. The moment turns sour when Leela, angry at Kavya for leaving the house, tells her she should go alone as the baby isn’t Vanraj’s. At the same time, Anupama, now living in a chawl and working at a dance gurukul, is inspired by her guru’s words about life being a swing with ups and downs. Her peace is shattered when her other ex-husband, Mangesh, arrives with their daughter, Bharti. He aggressively tries to force them to come back with him. In a powerful display of solidarity, the women of the chawl, led by Sarita Bai, come to Anupama’s rescue, chasing Mangesh away with brooms and chappals. The confrontation brings back painful memories of Anupama’s past with Vanraj, but she finds new strength in the support of her neighbors. The episode ends with a tearful Bharti seeking guidance from Anupama, who is determined to teach her daughter to be strong and not give up.
