Anupama update Tuesday 1 July 2025

The episode begins with Anupama confiding in Janki Behen that Parag Kothari has called her for a private meeting and insisted she must not tell anyone. Janki Behen assumes Parag must be calling to apologize quietly, feeling too ashamed to do so publicly, or perhaps to place a new catering order after enjoying their food.

However, Anupama reveals that the matter is more complicated and that she knows well the pride and ego of men like Parag. Janki Behen urges her to forgive if he apologizes, but Anupama is uncertain. When asked about the meeting time, Anupama says it is scheduled for 8 a.m. the next day.

Janki Behen advises her to rest and promises to manage the work, but Anupama, burdened with thoughts, says she won’t find peace until she tries her “masala therapy.” She begins grinding spices while simmering with anger about Parag.

Meanwhile, Parag Kothari is engaged in an intense workout, his mind drifting between thoughts of Anupama and Prem. A flashback reveals Prem asking Parag what he has brought, and Parag explaining, making Prem happy. Gayatri questions if Parag will fulfill all his son’s wishes, to which Parag responds that he would do anything for his son.

Prem calls Parag the best father, concluding the flashback. Khyati mentions she has seen Prem break down many times. Moti Baa remarks that Prem’s return was only to cause trouble and blames Anupama and Rahi for his behavior, insisting this is not in line with their family values. She claims the unrest was sparked by them and that they must pay for it. Khyati is visibly worried.

Parag calls Anupama and confirms their meeting for 8 a.m., to which Anupama responds with resolve to meet Parag Kothari.

The next morning, Anupama arrives at a cliff and loudly calls out her own name, delighted to hear her echo. She reflects that while karma is meant to reward good deeds, sometimes even sowing flowers yields thorns. At that moment, Parag Kothari arrives in his car, accompanied initially by security guards whom he dismisses before approaching Anupama and greeting her. Parag tells her that today, not the “Diamond King,” but a father has come to meet her. Anupama asks him to clarify.

Back home, Toshu wonders where her mother went so early while clients are calling. Baa asks about Prem and Rahi, and Toshu says they are working together. Toshu calls Anupama, but Ishu answers the ringing phone and reveals Anupama is unreachable. Toshu fears Anupama might have gone to the Kotharis, insisting she should not.

Returning to the cliff, Anupama questions Parag’s comment about a father coming to meet her. Suddenly, a gust of wind causes his phone to slip from his hand. Anupama picks it up and notices Prem’s photo as the wallpaper. She asks why Prem’s picture is on Parag’s phone. Parag confirms Prem is his son. Anupama recalls Prem’s earlier claim of being an orphan and remembers Prarthana and Prem refusing to acknowledge each other. Shocked, Anupama holds her head, while Parag calls her back to attention. She also recalls the priest’s words about Prem possessing the Maha Rajya yog.

Parag confronts her, asking if she truly did not know and questions how she could let a stranger stay in her home. He accuses her of lying and claims he hates liars. Parag insinuates that Anupama, running a modest business and with many family members, saw Prem as a ladder to wealth and deliberately grabbed the opportunity to connect her daughter with his son.

He explains that every mother desires a grand alliance for her daughter, but what’s right for her is not necessarily right for Parag. He reminds her that marriage alliances are made between families of equal status and that theirs are not equal, so this match is impossible.

Anupama firmly replies with two points: first, she swears on Kanha Ji that she did not know Prem was Parag’s son; otherwise, she would have told him. Second, neither she nor her daughter is a gold digger—wealth holds no interest for them.

Meanwhile, Rahi urges Prem to double-check everything, but Prem insists she listen first. Rahi says she must focus on work and sets aside romance for the morning. Prem admits he has something important to say and worries about hurting her. Rahi encourages him to share what’s troubling him. Just then, Mahi arrives, calling Prem away, and Rahi understands. Toshu instructs to pack and send the order. Prem steps outside, visibly frustrated, thinking about revealing the truth to Rahi—that he is Parag Kothari’s son—before she finds out from others.

Back with Parag, he declares that his son is what matters, not Anupama’s truths or lies. He insists Prem left but will return to manage the family empire and that no “road-walking girl” like Rahi will enter his house. Anupama warns him, revealing that Rahi is Anuj Kapadia’s daughter. Parag advises Anupama to teach her daughter to behave like a proper family girl. He recounts Prem’s visit, calling it an insult and revenge for Anupama’s insult. Prem had declared Anupama as his mother and Rahi as his love, demanding Parag apologize or else he wouldn’t face him again.

Parag continues, saying a lawyer visited and claims relationships are just games to them. He reveals he investigated Anupama, learned she married twice but both marriages failed, and says no normal relations exist in her family. He refuses to let Prem stay or work there, nor accept Anupama as his mother or Rahi as his love. He challenges how Anupama could keep relationships intact all her life, reminding her that their social statuses are unequal—she has Anuj Kapadia, but Rahi will never have Prem.

Anupama retorts, asking what he wants—should she separate Prem from Rahi and send him to Parag? He replies that talking is easy for the wise and offers her money for food, lodging, and boarding, implying she owes him. Anupama firmly replies that sons are raised with love, not bought or stolen. Parag counters, telling her if she won’t buy, she must not steal either, insisting she accept the money.
