Read Anupama 12th January 2026 Written Update on farhanabhatt.com
In Anupama today episode, Vasundhara tells Anupama to get herself and her relatives medically examined. She states Anupama and the Shahs aren’t mentally sound, as no “regular” people act the way they do. Anupama challenges Vasundhara’s opinion, reminding her she gave Gautam another opportunity despite knowing he mistreated Prarthana. Vasundhara blames Anupama for acting mentally unstable.
Anupama strongly tells Vasundhara to quit ridiculing mental illness and says depression should never be joked about. Vasundhara brushes it off as another one of Anupama’s speeches. Anupama responds that everyone seems fine outwardly, but many people harbor sadness and depression inside. She mentions how Parag and Khyati have forgotten laughter after Aryan’s passing and begs everyone not to carelessly use or mock terms about mental health. Anupama apologizes to Ansh and Prarthana for spoiling their important day.
Prem says the issue wasn’t that serious and got unnecessarily blown up. He plans explaining everything later, after the baby celebration. Khyati announces everyone will now present gifts and blessings to Ansh and Prarthana. Gautam claims he’ll offer the first gift. Parag permits it, and Mahi says Gautam deserves giving the first gift to Prarthana.
Gautam gives some documents to Prarthana and Ansh, shocking them. Leela asks about the documents. Vasundhara explains Prarthana must sign them, declaring after giving birth she can live anywhere, but the baby stays with Gautam, who’ll raise the child. Mahi announces she’ll become the baby’s mother.
Anupama blames the Kotharis for creating needless chaos and says they’ve lost their minds. Vasundhara tells Prarthana to recognize that arguments will happen between Ansh and Gautam about the baby and claims Ansh can’t raise the child. Parag also requests Prarthana to grasp their viewpoint and insists the baby should remain at the Kothari residence.
An angry Prarthana announces only Ansh is her baby’s father and chooses returning to the Shah residence immediately. Ansh takes Prarthana along, but Gautam grabs her hand and won’t let her leave. Ansh demands Gautam release her hand. Anupama steps in and tells Gautam to back off. Vasundhara insists it’s a family issue, but Anupama says both families are involved. She reminds them Prarthana has selected Ansh as her baby’s father.
Ansh begs the Kotharis not to take his child. Gautam states he won’t surrender his claim over the baby. Anupama strongly declares Gautam has no claims, as he’s no longer Prarthana’s spouse. She announces she’s bringing Prarthana back to the Shah residence and challenges anyone to prevent her.
Khyati permits Prarthana to depart and says she can visit the baby whenever she wants. Mahi pushes Parag to act. Anupama dares anyone brave enough to stop her. Parag comes forward and tells Anupama to release Prarthana’s hand, but Anupama refuses. Parag questions who’ll care for Prarthana if she leaves. Anupama responds that Ansh is capable and unlike Gautam, who hurt his wife. She adds that at the Shah residence, Hasmukh and Ansh understand respecting women.
A fierce dispute erupts between Parag and Anupama. Parag asks Prarthana if she’s departing because of anger. Prarthana responds she’s leaving because she’s devastated.
Episode Ends
What Viewers Can Expect
Anupama upcoming episodes will force major decisions and permanent family divisions. Anupama precap shows Parag demanding everyone choose sides, declaring anyone backing Anupama will lose connection with the Kotharis. This ultimatum will tear families apart and reveal true loyalties.
Prem, Raja, and Khyati choosing Anupama’s side shows not everyone in the Kothari family supports Vasundhara and Gautam’s toxic behavior. Khyati’s decision particularly matters since she’s Parag’s wife, creating a rift in their marriage. Her choice to support what’s right over blind family loyalty demonstrates moral courage.
The most heartbreaking moment comes when Parag forces Rahi to choose between him and Anupama. Rahi standing conflicted in the middle represents the impossible position many people face when families split. She loves Parag as her biological father but also respects Anupama who raised her. This choice could define Rahi’s character and future relationships.
Prarthana and Ansh leaving the Kothari house marks a turning point. They’ll likely face challenges living independently while preparing for the baby, but they’ll escape the toxic environment that threatened their marriage. However, legal battles over custody may still loom, especially with those documents Gautam presented.
Gautam’s obsession with controlling the baby suggests he’ll continue fighting. His claim to be the child’s father, supported by Vasundhara and Mahi, could lead to court cases over parental rights. Modern surrogacy laws may come into play, creating complex legal drama.
Vasundhara’s behavior at the baby shower—insulting mental health, attacking the Shahs, and supporting Gautam’s absurd demands—has likely destroyed any chance of reconciliation. Her relationship with Prarthana appears permanently damaged. Future interactions will be hostile at best.
Back in Mumbai, the demolition crisis continues while Anupama handles family emergencies in Ahmedabad. Rajini’s plans are probably progressing, and the neighborhood residents will soon discover the truth. When Anupama returns to Mumbai, she’ll face angry residents who trusted her with their homes.
The family split will have lasting consequences. Prem choosing Anupama over his family means potential estrangement from Parag and the Kotharis. Raja making the same choice might affect his relationship with Meeta and Vasundhara. These decisions show courage but come with painful sacrifices.
Viewers Can Expect intense emotional scenes, difficult choices, broken relationships, and legal complications ahead. The baby who should bring joy has instead become the center of a bitter family war. How Anupama protects Prarthana, Ansh, and the unborn baby while managing multiple crises will test her strength to its limits.
Anupama Precap
Vasundhara requests Prarthana to accompany her. Anupama tells Vasundhara to step back and pushes her. Parag declares everyone must pick a side and states whoever backs Anupama will have no ties with the Kotharis. Prem, Raja, and Khyati select Anupama’s side. Parag then asks Rahi to choose between him and Anupama. Rahi stands torn in the middle.
