Anupama Written Episode Update 14th August 2024: Anupama’s Canteen Order Joy
The episode starts with Anupama meeting the college principal to discuss a canteen contract. The principal asks if she has any references, a resume, or certificates. Instead of handing over papers, Anupama presents a tiffin and says, “This is my resume.” She asks him to try the food. After tasting it, he says it’s good and tastes like homemade food. Anupama smiles and says that it is homemade and insists he try the sweets too. He enjoys the sweets and compliments her. Anupama assures him that she will maintain the same taste and quality if given the contract. The principal mentions that his wife used to watch a famous chef and then asks why she returned from America. Anupama briefly mentions that it was due to personal reasons. He then asks why he should give her the contract. Anupama explains that while students initially enjoy eating out, they soon start craving homemade food. She shares that in America, she learned that experience comes after the first chance and asks him to give her that first chance.
Meanwhile, a group of senior boys spot Sagar’s auto, intending to confront him, but Anuj is sitting in the driver’s seat instead. Anupama asks the principal to consider her request and let her know his decision. The principal suggests she take her tiffin back, but Anupama says she’ll ask Meenu, her niece, to pick it up, noting that women don’t leave their tiffins behind. The principal recognizes Meenu as a bright student. Anupama also mentions that they handle party orders. The principal asks if she can manage both the canteen and party orders. Anupama happily agrees, and the principal gives her the chance she asked for.
Pakhi, in another scene, asks Meenu if she messed up her plan. Kinjal calls Pakhi, asking her to bring her wallet that she forgot. Pakhi refuses to leave the car and tells Meenu to take the wallet to Kinjal. Meenu hesitates at first, but Pakhi reminds her that she went shopping earlier, so Meenu finally agrees and goes to Kinjal. Kinjal comments that they are wiser than Pakhi.
Anupama steps outside and notices that Anuj is missing from the auto. She anxiously searches for him. Pakhi calls Kinjal, urging her to come quickly, but Kinjal mentions there’s a long queue and asks Pakhi to join them in line. Pakhi insists they wait in line themselves. Anuj returns to the auto, saying he went to buy water. He recalls breaking the senior boys’ hockey sticks and returning to Anupama. Anupama, relieved that Anuj is with her, happily shares that she got the canteen order. They sit in the auto together, and Anupama daydreams about Anuj in his younger days, imagining him dancing with her to a romantic song.
Suddenly, Anuj applies the brakes, snapping Anupama out of her daydream. He asks if she’s okay, explaining that a biker suddenly appeared in front of them. Anupama reassures him she’s fine. Anuj mentions that he wants to visit the temple to thank God after seeing Aadhya, feeling hopeful.
Kinjal and Meenu arrive at Asha Bhavan. Meenu apologizes to Sagar for the trouble she caused him. Sagar tells her it wasn’t her fault and wipes her tears but then recalls that he’s just an auto driver. He asks her not to visit him there again, saying he can’t bear to see her in pain. Meenu, upset, leaves crying. Bala Kaka asks Sagar why he made Meenu cry. Sagar explains that he had to do it for Meenu’s own good and that it’s best if he stays quiet. Kinjal talks to Nandita while Meenu asks her to leave. Kinjal follows her.
Bala Kaka comments that Sagar is becoming harsh, both in Hindi and in English. Sagar feels guilty for hurting Meenu and being rude to her.
Anuj and Anupama arrive at the temple. Anupama prays to Kanha Ji, thanking him for their happiness and the new contract. She calls the contract “the key to happiness.” Anuj expresses his gratitude for being able to see Aadhya, saying it gives him hope that they will find her. Anupama thanks him for his support.
