In today’s episode, Kinjal reveals everything to Meenu and she is absolutely shocked at hearing about Anupama’s miseries.
The episode begins with Meenu expressing to Anupama how much she missed her. She tells the people at Asha Bhavan that Anupama might not have shared all the wonderful things she has done for her. Meenu says that Anupama isn't just her aunt; she's like a mother to her. Despite having three children of her own, Anupama always gave Meenu her undivided attention.
She recalls how her mother would go to work, and she would go to Anupama's house after school. Anupama would cook delicious meals for her, play games, and indulge her by pretending to be a patient while Meenu played doctor.
Anupama's surprise reunion with Meenu
Anupama reminisces how Meenu would ask her to cough and sometimes pretend to operate on her with a spoon. Meenu would then shout, forgetting that patients are supposed to be unconscious during surgeries. Bala mentions that Sagar went to pick up Meenakshi Thakkar.
Anupama inquires about her whereabouts, and Sagar explains that he brought someone who introduced herself as Meenakshi, but it turned out to be a mistake. Bala jokes that the wrong person was brought. Indra remarks that it was destined by God for Anupama to meet Meenu. Meenu agrees, saying only what God wills happens.
Sagar concurs, noting that's why Meenu is there. Anupama then receives a call from Meenakshi, who informs her that she missed her flight and won't be able to come. Meenu asks Anupama to perform her aarti as a welcome. Anupama declines, saying Baa is the one who should be waiting to do her aarti.
Vanraj's anger erupts during Meenu's aarti
Meenu requests Anupama to perform her aarti first, pleading with her. Baa becomes upset, and Vanraj gets angry. Despite this, Meenu insists. As Anupama begins the aarti, Vanraj arrives and knocks the aarti plate out of her hands.
Anupama questions if he's lost his mind. Vanraj angrily tells her to be quiet and accuses her of either losing her memory or becoming shameless. He criticizes her for not sending Meenu to their house, even if it was a mistake, pointing out that Baa has been waiting for her for a long time. He suggests that this could be a scheme between Sagar and Anupama.
Anupama retorts, telling him to think logically, questioning how Sagar would know about Meenu when she herself hadn't seen Meenu in years. Vanraj scolds Meenu for not visiting them and threatens to burn down Asha Bhavan if she tries to maintain any relationship with them. He then orders Meenu to go to Baa.
Meenu apologizes to Baa, explaining that she ran to Anupama as soon as she got out of the auto because she saw her. She expresses her regret for hurting Baa and asks for her blessings.

She tells Vanraj he's become more handsome without a mustache and jokes that girls must still be crazy about him. She mentions she was unaware of his situation with Mami. Vanraj sternly tells her not to bring up that topic, calling it a line of control (LOC).
