Makar Sankranti brings tangled kites and unexpected encounters…
The festive spirit of Makar Sankranti fills the air, promising a day of joy and togetherness. However, for Anupama and Anuj, destiny has different plans. Separated by circumstances, their hearts still yearn for each other.
At the Shah House:
The celebrations are in full swing. The terrace is adorned with colorful Rangoli and vibrant kites fly high in the sky. Children squeal with delight as they attempt to cut each other’s strings. Pakhi, ever the drama queen, taunts Kavya about Vanraj’s absence. Kavya, hiding her inner turmoil, maintains a stoic facade.
Meanwhile, Kinjal worries about Anupama’s whereabouts. Anupama had ventured out early in the morning for some personal errands, promising to return soon. Hours pass, and Kinjal’s anxiety grows. She seeks Vanraj’s help, but his curt dismissal only escalates her worry.
As Kinjal desperately searches for Anupama, fate intervenes. She bumps into Anuj, who’s celebrating with younger Anu and Shruti in the nearby colony. Recognizing Anupama through a video Jaspal Sir’s mother showed him, a stranger approaches Anupama with flowers, expressing his admiration. Shocked and confused, Anupama is rescued by Jaspal Sir’s mother, who clears the misunderstanding.
Just then, Anuj arrives, drawn by the commotion. His eyes meet Anupama’s, and the world around them fades away. An electrifying silence hangs in the air, their longing etched on their faces. However, before they can rekindle their connection, Kinjal intervenes, seeking Anupama’s immediate return.
At Kapadia Mansion:
Adhya, determined to break Anuj and Anupama apart, manipulates the kite flying session. As she tries to cut Anuj’s kite, it gets entangled with Anupama’s, which Anuj is holding for younger Anu. Observing this, Adhya sees it as a sign of her wish colliding with theirs, fueling her animosity towards Anupama.
Later, when Anuj returns with Kinjal and Anupama, Kavya notices their lingering emotions and a familiar pang of jealousy shoots through her. She tries to mask her insecurity by taunting Anupama about their separation, but Anupama remains unfazed, her heart firmly with Anuj.
A glimpse of hope:
Anupama confides in Samar about her encounter with the stranger and Anuj’s unexpected presence. Samar encourages her to follow her heart, reminding her that Anuj is her soulmate. Anupama’s spirit lifts, a flicker of hope rekindled within her.
A storm brewing:
Vanraj, fueled by a mixture of guilt and pride, decides to visit Anuj and explain his absence. He arrives at the Kapadia Mansion, only to find Anuj having a heated argument with Adhya. Seeing Vanraj, Adhya uses it as an opportunity to fan the flames of discord, twisting the scene to make it appear as if Anuj is seeking Vanraj’s advice about Anupama.
Vanraj, already suspicious of Anupama and Anuj’s bond, falls prey to Adhya’s manipulation. He confronts Anuj, his tone laced with anger and veiled threats. Anuj, enraged by Vanraj’s interference, stands his ground, declaring his unwavering love for Anupama.
