Anupama 15th December 2025 Written Update: Politics at the Doorstep and a Chawl Under Threat.
The episode opens on an interesting note as Parag and Anupama unexpectedly come face to face. Their greeting is polite on the surface, but the undertone is anything but warm. Rajini immediately questions Anupama about her visit, clearly caught off guard. Anupama, never one to dodge a question, calmly turns it around and asks Parag what he is doing at Rajini’s place. Parag responds with his usual sharp sarcasm, questioning Anupama’s presence and mockingly listing her many roles so far — cooking, dance, fashion shows — before sneering that politics might be her next experiment. Anupama doesn’t flinch. With quiet confidence, she replies that if God wants her to step into politics, no one can stop it. She adds that no one can go against God’s will and subtly drops the bomb that even Rajini has suggested she enter politics. That single line leaves Parag visibly unsettled.
Rajini again asks Anupama why she has come. Without drama or confrontation, Anupama simply offers her prasad and walks away. As she leaves, her thoughts linger on Prem and Rahi. She wonders if they know about Parag and Rajini’s connection and assumes they probably don’t. The moment highlights Anupama’s instinctive awareness — she senses trouble even before it fully reveals itself.
Soon after, Anupama spots Varun. Varun recalls Rajini’s earlier words, where she asked him to be like Anupama and help others. Using that memory as a mask, he cleverly plays the role of a kind-hearted helper, impressing Anupama with ease. She genuinely feels Varun is a good person and starts thinking that he could be the right person to discuss Bharti’s alliance with. The irony here is striking — Anupama’s faith in people continues to be her strength, but also her biggest vulnerability.
Behind the scenes, Parag tries to poison Rajini against Anupama. He warns her to stay alert, claiming that Anupama destroys everything wherever she goes. Rajini, unfazed, tells him that she knows Anupama very well. Parag pushes further, insisting that trusting Anupama is a mistake. That is when Rajini finally drops her real intention. She coldly reveals that she plans to use Anupama to destroy Purvi Chaya Chawl. The revelation shocks Parag even more when he learns that Anupama is staying in the same chawl. Rajini doesn’t stop there. She taunts Parag, asking whether he has suddenly grown weak after hearing Anupama’s name. The power dynamic between them shifts clearly in this moment, with Rajini firmly in control.
Elsewhere, Rahi struggles to find an auto to return home. Prem informs her that he cannot come to pick her up. Sensing an opportunity, Diwaker steps in and offers her a lift. Internally thrilled, he feels proud that Rahi is sitting in his car for the first time. Rahi, unaware of his intentions, simply asks him to drive. Gautam notices the two together and smirks knowingly, already imagining how Prem and Rahi’s bond might crack under misunderstandings.
Back in the chawl, Anupama notices a young girl crying. The girl shares her fear, explaining that her best friend’s house has already been destroyed and worrying that their chawl might be next. The fear is raw and real. Anupama gently reassures her, offering comfort that feels less like false hope and more like emotional support. Soon after, Anupama is seen making burgers with Bharti, Varun, and the children. The scene feels warm and homely, a reminder of how Anupama naturally becomes the emotional glue of any place she stays in.
However, Varun’s patience starts wearing thin. He angrily tells Rajini that Anupama will never let her dream come true. Rajini, composed and calculative, assures him that Purvi Chaya Chawl will be destroyed no matter what. Her confidence makes it clear that the game has already begun.
A moment of happiness arrives when Pari and Ishani throw a vada pav party for the chawl residents to celebrate their new jobs. They credit the chawl for their success, calling it lucky for them. Anupama adds emotionally that the chawl has given her many things too — support, strength, and a sense of belonging. Preet declares that the chawl is their heart and openly taunts Sarita for trying to destroy it. The unity among residents feels strong, but the audience knows it stands on fragile ground. Rajini soon arrives, watching everything with hidden intent.
Meanwhile, Prem is shown in a tense state. Rahi asks him what is wrong, sensing his unease. Prem explains that Parag is investing heavily in real estate and might be heading toward losses. He suspects Gautam’s involvement behind the scenes. Rahi urges him to stay calm, but Prem admits that he has already asked someone to gather information about the project. His instincts tell him something is about to go very wrong.
Back at the chawl, Anupama celebrates Ishani and Pari’s success with genuine pride. Rajini approaches her, and Anupama straightforwardly asks about Bharti and Varun before questioning the reason for Rajini’s visit. Rajini finally reveals that she wants to discuss something important in front of all the chawl residents. The atmosphere instantly turns serious, setting the stage for an upcoming storm.
The episode ends on a note of looming danger, with the precap making things even more unsettling. Rajini tells the chawl residents that if they want to save the building, they must follow legal procedures. She hands over papers and asks Anupama to read them, knowing fully well that everyone trusts Anupama blindly. One man even declares that they will sign any papers Anupama gives them without question. In a parallel scene, Parag asks Rajini about Anupama, and Rajini confidently replies that soon, they are going to win.
Review
This episode cleverly shifts Anupama into a political and social chessboard without making it obvious at first glance. The biggest strength lies in how trust is being weaponized. Anupama’s credibility, built over years of honesty and sacrifice, is now becoming the very tool Rajini plans to use against the chawl. Rajini emerges as a strong antagonist — calm, manipulative, and dangerously strategic. Parag, for once, looks rattled, which adds an interesting layer to their alliance.
Anupama remains true to her core — compassionate, trusting, and emotionally available — but the writing subtly hints that this very goodness may soon backfire. The chawl residents’ blind faith in her feels heartwarming yet terrifying. The Prem–Rahi–Diwaker angle adds simmering tension, while Varun’s irritation signals cracks within Rajini’s own camp.
Overall, the episode quietly tightens the noose. No loud confrontations, no dramatic accusations — just calculated moves and emotional manipulation. Anupama stands at the center of it all, unknowingly holding papers that could decide the fate of hundreds. The coming episodes promise betrayal, guilt, and a painful test of trust, making this track gripping and deeply unsettling.
