The current track of Anupamaa revolves around Anupama battling for her life in a hospital. Megha went to stab Aadhya, but Anupama saved her, resulting in her getting severely injured by the knife stab, leading her to be admitted to the hospital in critical condition. 

While doctors mentioned that Anupama could not survive, Anuj, Baa, and Bapuji, among others, prayed extensively to God, which resulted in Anupama coming back to life.
