Anupama 13 October 2022: Anuj Kapadia smiles looking at Anu’s give halwa box. GK asks what is he looking at and taunts him singing Chupana Bhi Nahi aata.. song.
He then asks what is he thinking. AK says Anu is like his mother who who immensely loves his children and family and even after divorce staying in that house for her children. GK says only a woman can do that. AK says Anu hasn’t realized her true potential yet and can do a lot. GK says he is ther for her. AK says a woman doesn’t need a man’s help to succeed and is self-sufficient. GK says she needs support though and he is there for her. AK says he has one-sided track. GK sings jab ladka stupid hai to jeeke kya karenge..
Next morning, Vanraj asks Samar if he is fine. Samar nods yes and walks away. He then asks Anu if she spoke to Samar last night. Anu says yes. Kavya excited informs V that she took AK’s number via Devika, they should wear formals for a meeting and asks Anu to join them. Anu says she doesn’t to. Vanraj says let it be as she doesn’t have any work there. Kavya insists saying she is needed there and reminds AK’s words. Anu says she has work. Kavya says she will call AK and fix a meeting now. Bapuji and Kinjal sense Kavya’s wicked intentions.
At GK’s office, he applies perfume for meeting with Anu. GK taunts again singing Chupana Bhi Nahi Aata. AK gets receptionist’s call and asks her to send guests in. AK takes out Anu’s halwa box and says women don’t want to lose their utensils. GK jokes to fill it with love and return it. Kavya touches up her makeup to meet AK. Vanraj asks her to stop overacting in front of Anuj and call him as Mr Kapadia instead of AK as this is his office. Employee informs them that boss is calling them in.
They enter and seeing AK sitting on sofa Kavya asks who is sitting on boss’ seat. GK turns. Kavya says she must say he is too cool to let a domestic maid on his seat. AK gets angry and warns her that she must have not paid attention when he introduced Gopi kaka last time, he is his friend, philosopher, father, mother, guide, and everything. She says she forgot. He says he forgets people who forget Gopi kaka. GK calms him down. AK asks her to take GK’s blessings, and Kavya nervously greets GK.
Vanraj apologizes AK. AK says its okay, lets get to the point. Anu knocks door and asks if she can come in. AK gets happy seeing her. Anu says she is late as her hired auto broke down midway. AK says its okay, have a seat. She greets Jai Sri Krishna to GK and AK. AK gets a call and goes aside. Vanraj taunts Anu if she if her pride was decreasing if she was accompanying them. AK gets angry hearing that, but GK calms him down. Anu replies his pride may decrease and increase like moon, not hers, she came here on Bapuji and Kinjal’s insistence. She goes into flashback where Bapuji insists her that she has lived a life and has ideas. Anu says she doesn’t know how to present it. Kinjal says she should tell her idea, she will make a presentation.
Out of flashback, Anu says if Vanraj is feeling bad, she will go. Kavya asks her to stay. AK rejoins meeting. peon serves tea to guests hot chocolate milk for AK. GK signals its time for milk.
Baa fumes hearing Anu visiting AK’s office. Bapuji says she herself doesn’t know why she is angry, she can tolerate Vanraj’s affair and not Anu’s friendship with AK; they should upgrade their thinking like mobile or else world will move far ahead and she will be far behind. Back in AK’s office, he asks to start her meeting. Kavya excitedly says she has many ideas and walks near him to show presentation. AK says she can sit and discuss. She says a successful business needs ideas and money, she has ideas and he has money. Vanraj says our ideas. AK says he hasn’t agreed yet. She says he will after seeing her presentation. On the other side, Samar looks at Nandini’s house. Bapuji walks to him and says one shouldn’t forget 2 things in life. Samar asks what. Bapuji says love and another he forgot, they forget everything in front of love and says his mother got everything but not love, he got love and should respect it, and continues explaining importance of love in life.
Vanraj says he plans a multicuisine restaurant and a Gujrati restaurant. AK says interesting, it showed Vanraj’s experience in this whole presentation. Vanraj says thank you. Samar sees Nandini teaching students and remembers Anu’s advice not to lose the love he got and remembers Nandini’s helping nature. Kavya tells AK thank you for giving them a chance to discuss their ideas, he should inform his decision to them. AK says he didn’t listen to Anu’s ideas and jokes he will start shayari if she doesn’t. GK says he frightens people with his shayari. Anu laughs. AK says he is waiting for Anu. GK says since 26 years. Vanraj hears him and asks if he said something. GK says nothing.
Anupama finds it difficult to open her laptop. AK helps her and says if she is not comfortable, she can discuss her idea with him verbally. Anu says her bahu Kinjal has worked hard on the presentation, opens presentation, and says she doesn’t know much about hotel. Kavya to humiliate her says hotel is a place where people sit and have food. Anu says she knows about food; people do remember hotel’s interior decoration but good food and people who prepare food. Kavya says we call them chefs and good chefs are not easy to find. Anu says mother is a best chef. Kavya murmurs her theplagiri started and says mother doesn’t have to face criticism, but chef has to face criticism and much more. Anu says even mother faces criticism by world’s bigget critic, her saas/MIL customer
may spare chef, but saas doesn’t spare her bahu; woman has to face a lot of criticism from her children and especially her husband, but she continues working without any complaint; many women are left on their own by her family, but are still best cook; hence if AK gives them job, he will give them respect and opportunity which their own family didn’t. Vanraj remembers all the wrongdoings he did with Anu. Anu says during bidayi/farewell, women leave their pride at home, but if he gives them job, they will work hard and will make his hotel very successful. AK thinks even his mother used to speak similarly and looks at GK.
Kavya yells they are here to discuss business and not emotions. Anu says even she is talking about business; housewives can be paid much less than chefs if they are trained. AK says even money will be spent. Anu says when they can spend money on interior decoration, why not on their training; he can open bank accounts for them and transfer salary directly into their accounts. Kavya says if AK had to do charity, he would have done it to NGO. AK asks AK? Kavya says he is AK. AK asks Anu to continue. Anu asks which food is most like in the world.
Kavya says Chinese, Vanraj says continental. Anu says neither of these, world’s tastiest and consumed food is maa ke haath ka khana/mother’s prepared food; if he can organize one day in his hotel for maa ke haath ka khana, even the kept same theme in Mr Shah’s hotel as. AK says all cuisines are one side and mother’s food is on the other side. Anu says there will be many who serve food addressing him as sir, but he won’t find anyone serving him calling beta/son and he doesn’t have to spend money on training for that as mamta/motherhood comes from heart. She finally says thats all. AK says their ideas are unique; Mr Shah’s idea is very practical, well researched, grounded and Anu’s idea is very emotional and may not be applicable practially, so he needs time to think about both ideas. Kavya excitedly of course he can take his own time. Vanraj thanks him for taking time out to meet them and walks out of his cabin with Kavya.
AK stops Anu. She says yes. He asks her to be casual and not make him feel old. She says she will try. He says he returns her box. She happily thanks her. He says it was important as women can leave anything but not her box. Anu repeats. He says even his mother used to say same and asks if she can prepare halwa again. She says she will send it via Samar and shakes box. AK says maa taught her not to return empty box and asks to check what is inside. She opens and gets excited seeing aam papad and imlie goli. He reminds that she and Devika used to buy it outside college. Anu says she forgot it. He says he didn’t and recites a shayari meaning he remembers everything. She says GK is right that he confuses people with his shayari and thanks him for giving her sweeter memories sweeter than halwa. He says he has a lot of memories. She asks imlie goli and aam papad? He says memories. She thanks him for meeting and says she will not feel bad if he rejects her idea and walks away asking her to reheat his hot choc and drink it. He stands looking at her while door closes.
Samar in dance academy apologizes Nandini in his unique style with sorry all around his shirt and singing Tumse Hi Tumse Hi.. song and dancing with her emotionally. She hugs emotionally and forgives him. Anu walks out of AK’s cabin and asks Kavya and Vanraj if they didn’t go yet. Kavya says they though she didn’t come with them, they can drop her home. Vanraj asks what was AK saying alone in cabin. She says he wanted to return her box. He asks if box was kept in a locker. She walks away ignoring him. Samar apologizes Nandini for misunderstanding him. She apologizes for not informing him. He says he LOLs her. She says she knows she has a past. He stops her and says mummy explained his mistake, even he could have a past, they both will sort out Rohan named problem. She hugs him emotionally again.
Kavya while returning home says AK is a very practical businessman, he will sacrifice his life for friendship, but not compromise on his business. Anu says that is good. She enjoys imli goli and gets happy. Vanraj gets more jealous seeing that. GK asks AK what he thinks. AK says Anu’s idea is good to hear, but may not be possible practically; he needs to discuss it with his team. GK asks if he will say no.
AK says its should be her decision, but decisions would be core team’s; he never thought a situation would come where he has to say no to Anu, but. Anu reaches home. Vanraj says for the first time he saw someone enjoy imlie/tamarind so much. She gives him one and asks to have it in front of mirror and see someone having it in anger for the first time. He angrily throws it away. AK’s team after hearing his idea says both ideas are good. AK says he needs to discuss it with marketing department and sends them. GK feeds him multivitamin. AK asks why this. GK says to protect his eyesight. AK says old age has sent friend request. GK asks not to accept it if he wants to and says he liked Anu’s idea and even Anu. He smiles.
At Shah house, Baa asks Vanraj and Kavya how was the meeting. Kavya boasts that AK will not reject her proposal as it was very good. Baa scolds her not to always self-praise her and let Vanraj speak. Kavya says even Anu had come with most stupidest idea, AK listened it as a friend or else would have kicked her out. Vanraj says though AK is her friend, she should have discussed it with them first. Anu says when someone made an aeroplane, people would have laughed on him; people don’t value unique ideas and then repent; she will leave it on Kanhaji.
