Anupamaa: Anupamaa gets to know about Anju's association to the orphanage
Inspired by Rahi's effort, Pari decided to make a bracelet of her own, this time for Rahi.
Meanwhile, Anupama accompanied Manohar to the same orphanage. As they arrived, she took in how much the place had changed over the years. Unaware of each other's presence, Rahi, suddenly feeling uneasy, requested Pari to leave the premises. Anupama narrowly missed crossing paths with her but sensed an inexplicable presence that tugged at her heart.
As the children broke into a joyous dance, Anupama was transported back in time, recalling precious moments with her daughter. Her attention was drawn to a collection of bracelets, including one that had been intended for Anuj and Rahi, leaving her wondering how it had reached her.
Later, Murli met Anupama and revealed that Rahi had recently visited the orphanage. The news left Anupama emotional and surprised. Murli added that he had learned from the accountant about a recent donation of five lakh rupees made by Rahi.
He explained that he had actually been searching for Rahi when he unexpectedly ran into Anupama.
Hearing that Rahi had been there filled Anupama with a quiet joy. Murli remarked that Rahi resembled her father in generosity and further shared that Anuj had never cut ties with the orphanage. He revealed that Anuj Kapadia's Trust continued to send regular contributions, a fact that deeply moved Anupama. She felt a surge of pride and warmth upon learning that Anuj's kindness lived on through these silent acts of giving.
Reflecting on the day's events, Anupama felt as though Anuj's presence lingered around her. The coincidence of both she and Rahi arriving at the orphanage on the same day felt like more than chance, perhaps even a silent nudge towards the reunion she had longed for.
Elsewhere, Prem asked Rahi about her early return. Rahi admitted she had visited the orphanage and felt unsettled by memories of Anupama. Prem gently reminded her that it was because Anupama had married Anuj and adopted her that she had experienced a father's love.
He urged her to let go of her resentment. In a heartfelt moment, Rahi expressed her wish to adopt a child, describing the happiness it could bring. She added that they could have a biological child later, but adoption was something she deeply wanted.
Touched by her words, Prem agreed, and the two began to dream of parenthood.
Later, Anupama confided in Bharti about narrowly missing Rahi at the orphanage. She felt comforted knowing that Rahi was still connected to the place through Anuj's trust.
Bharti reassured her that fate would soon bring the long-awaited reunion.
Meanwhile, the Dance Ranis competition moved forward, with both Anupama and Rahi's teams reaching the semi-finals. During an interview segment, Manohar appeared on the show, prompting Anupama to discreetly signal him not to mention her name. Respecting her wishes, he referred to her as 'Trilotama.' Rahi grew curious about this mysterious figure and expressed excitement about meeting her, all while feeling the mounting pressure of the upcoming round.

Anupama Parameswaran On Playing Lily In Tillu Square: ‘I Wasn't Comfortable'
Last Updated: Anupama Parameswaran revealed she felt uneasy playing Lily in Tillu Square and would avoid taking up such roles in the future. Anupama Parameswaran's Telugu film Tillu Square released on March 29, 2024, and quickly emerged as a box office hit. The comedy crime entertainer, directed by Malik Ram, not only drew large crowds to the theatres but also earned appreciation for its quirky storyline and entertaining performances. While the audience enjoyed her glamorous and bold role as Lily, the actress has now shared that she was never completely at ease while portraying the character. In a candid conversation with Idlebrain, Anupama admitted that the role pushed her far out of her comfort zone. She even went on to confess that she would not take up a similar character again in the future. Anupama Parameswaran Felt Uncomfortable In Tillu Square 'If someone comes and gives me a Tillu-like character, now I won't do it. Because I was not comfortable doing that character. Not because the team was bad, everything was great, but I just wasn't comfortable in my own skin doing that role," she said. The actress further revealed that the discomfort affected her confidence during the shoot. She explained, 'It wasn't a smooth experience. I used to feel bad, disappointed, and not confident. That's not who I am, and I wasn't able to be that person." Why She Chose The Role Despite Hesitation When asked why she agreed to sign the film despite her initial doubts, Anupama shared that she took a long time to make the decision. 'I took a long time to say yes to the film. I was in two minds because the role was so different from who I am," she explained. Unlike her real personality, Lily's character demanded a different screen presence, which made Anupama more conscious than usual. 'I don't usually spend a lot of time thinking about how I look or styling my hair. I'd rather not worry about outfits," she revealed. Even though it was a challenging experience, the actress expressed her happiness about how the audience received her performance. 'When people appreciated me, I felt proud of myself. Even though I was uncomfortable and underconfident, I still managed to convince the audience. I made them believe I was confident, that I was a boss lady who doesn't care about what others think… and I think that's a great success," she said. Audience Reactions And Film's Success Produced by Naga Vamsi under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, Tillu Square opened to positive reviews from both critics and audiences. While Anupama's bold and glamorous portrayal of Lily attracted mixed responses, both praise and criticism, the film's strong box office run silenced most of the negativity. Initially, the actress faced online trolling for stepping into such a character, but the love and appreciation that followed after the release gave her a sense of validation. Starring opposite Siddhu Jonnalagadda's DJ Tillu, Anupama managed to bring a new energy to the sequel, which ultimately resonated with the audience.

Anupamaa: Anupamaa stands strong for Prarthana's rights; confronts Vasundhara
Anupamaa continues to remain one of television's most loved shows, with its engaging drama and powerful performances by Rupali Ganguly and the cast. The current storyline revolves around the wedding of Ansh and Prarthana , with tensions rising in the Shah household. In the latest episode, Anupamaa took a firm stand for women's rights, insisting that girls must have the freedom to choose their life partners. She questioned why families openly discuss trivial matters like food but fail to consult girls before marriage. Prarthana, moved by Anupamaa's words, recalled how Vasundhara had once abruptly announced her marriage, shattering her dreams of pursuing an MBA and a career. Vasundhara, however, turned the tables and accused Anupamaa and Ansh of being the reason behind Prarthana's divorce. Anupamaa countered by blaming Gautam, pointing out that his attempts at wooing Prarthana had only revealed his true character. The tension escalated further when Khyati mocked Anupamaa's past, her broken marriage with Vanraj and her relationship with Anuj, while Vasundhara ridiculed her progressive ideals. Unshaken, Anupamaa brushed aside the taunts and declared that if Parag's second marriage was valid, then so was Prarthana's. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo When Gautam objected, she silenced him with the bold statement that Prarthana would never be happy with him. Delivering a fiery speech on women's independence, Anupamaa defended her own journey, saying she was proud of persisting despite her struggles. While Pakhi accused her mother of creating chaos, Leela worried about her interference. Still, Anupamaa reassured Prarthana that the Kotharis would not be present at her wedding. Later, a more vulnerable side of Anupamaa emerged as she visited Anuj Ki Rasoi and reminisced about her past with Anuj, hinting that unspoken feelings still linger beneath her resilient exterior.

Meanwhile, the Shah family joyfully celebrates Ansh and Prarthana's marriage. However, just as happiness sets in, Anupamaa is left shocked when Vasundhara and Khyati arrive with Prarthana's legal documents, threatening to disrupt the festivities once again.
