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.

We are more than friends; we are soul sisters: Krishi and Anupama
A friendship built on silence, strength, and silliness: that's what ties BFFs and actors and together. 'If you can sit in silence without it feeling awkward, be each other's rock through the highs and lows, and be absolutely silly together, that's real friendship,' the duo tell Bangalore Times as they spend the day with us, laughing, reminiscing, and finishing each other's sentences… 'We're so alike… but also completely different' Anupama and Krishi tell us that their bond wasn't built on effort. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It just happened through little coincidences. Identical coffee mugs, matching matcha cups, even the same clothes… 'It's weird. We somehow end up buying the same stuff every time!' laughs Krishi. But while their shopping carts might look the same, their personalities don't. 'She pretends to be all tough. Like she doesn't need care or love. But she does. She'll never say it, but I know,' Krishi says, nudging Anupama, who fires back, 'Krishi loves having people around. I love my space, but she drags me out.' Other women and friendships have let us down. But this bond we share? This is the real thing - Anupama Gowda 'We have big plans for the future... and whatever we do, we'll do it together' From dreaming of opening a restaurant to launching a kombucha bar, these two are always cooking up new plans. 'We keep changing our minds. But whatever we do, we'll do it together. We are proof that female friendships can not only survive but thrive in this industry that's so often clouded by competition,' says Krishi. 'Our friendship is basic… but it's pure bliss' And when they're hanging out, their time together is calm and uneventful. 'We don't need an agenda. We can sit silently, scroll on our phones, or cook. That's enough,' Krishi shrugs. Anupama agrees, 'We rant about our days, laugh, cry, and rewatch Friends over dinner.' They have a simple routine of grocery runs, gym sessions, flower shopping, and obsessing over plants, and they cherish that. 'It's a very basic, easy friendship. And it's bliss,' Anupama smiles. We are proof that female friendships can not only survive but thrive in this industry — Krishi Thapanda

Tulsi 2.0 is dealing with wrinkles, weight gain. Indian TV serials are finally getting real
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 seems determined to break that pattern. Smriti Irani's return to TV as Tulsi has brought with it not just nostalgia, but a refreshing sense of honesty. Soap operas have long clung to idealised images of women. Characters barely age, no matter how much time passes in the story. In Anupama , the protagonist is now a grandmother, but other than a few strategically placed white hairs, her appearance remains the same. After years of presenting pretty, thin, non-ageing women, Indian television is finally beginning to embrace realism, and surprisingly, the shift is happening with Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 . While the show still upholds the age-old trope of the self-sacrificing ideal woman, it does take a step forward by refuting unrealistic beauty standards. In just the third episode, the show directly tackles how women in households age, addressing the topic with openness and sensitivity. And it lays the foundation for this shift in the second episode. Also read: Shah Rukh Khan fans celebrate, but the internet is still divided Wrinkles, weight gain The plotline begins with Mihir (Amar Upadhyay) stepping onto a weighing scale and noting his weight at 60 kg, while praising Tulsi for making him a protein shake. Once he leaves, Tulsi steps onto the same scale and the needle jumps to 80 kg. She immediately gets off. Later, at a family party, the issue is brought into sharper focus. Tulsi's daughter bluntly criticises her appearance: 'You have become fat. All my friends' mothers are so fit. Why don't you take care of yourself?' Guests whisper behind her back: 'Mihir is so fit, and this is his wife?' Some even comment that she looks a decade older than him. While these moments form the backdrop for other storylines, the show doesn't let them slide. In the third episode, Tulsi reflects on the remarks. That's when Mihir steps in, offering a powerful response. 'Yes, you've gained some weight. Your clothes don't fit the way they used to, but it's too easy to judge housewives for not 'maintaining' themselves. Your arms may be heavier, but I've seen you carry the weight of this entire family on them. People don't understand how much a woman's body changes after childbirth and the toll it takes,' he says. Given that Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi primarily caters to middle-aged Indian women, it's encouraging to see the show beginning to engage with these conversations. With this scene, the show breaks from TV's long-standing habit of glamourising homemakers, choosing instead to portray them with honesty and respect. The decision to show real, ageing bodies and faces on screen has also yielded a meaningful and refreshingly real storyline. The same Tulsi Virani who once handled joint family politics with a perfectly blow-dried bun is now taking on beauty standards with a weighing scale and a protein shake. In a world where most TV moms age like vampires, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is giving us a real look at womanhood. It's proof that even in the land of saas-bahu sagas, evolution is possible. Views are personal. (Edited by Prasanna Bachchhav)
