Anupama 13th June 2023 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com

Anupama tells Leela that she can’t attend Samar and Dimpy’s post-wedding rituals. Leela yells that she mistakenly called Malti devi’s successor instead of Samar’s mother. She asks her to visit them till she goes to America and mould Dimpy according to their family’s nature like she moulded Kinjal. She says she fears Dimpy will get trouble to them;, she doesn’t know what Samar and Anupama saw in Dimpy; she saw Anupama in Kinjal when she came home after marriage, but Dimpy will destroy their family, etc. Anupama says she has to reach gurukul at 10 a.m. tomorrow at any cost and can’t delay fulfilling her dreams. She says nobody is perfect and they need time to adjust, even Dimpy will adjust with Leela adjusts. Leela says pooja will happen anyways tomorrow, she is in fear and feels confident when Anupama is around, etc. Dimpy hears their conversation.

Anupama then calls Anuj and informs that she can’t come tomorrow. She says just like he was standing on a 2-way paath, even she is standing on a 2-way path, and just like he chose responsibility between love and responsibility, even she will choose responsibility. He says it’s okay, they will meet some other day. She feels sad. Samar feels nervous thinking making their first night special for Dimpy and decorates his room with rose petals thinking he will shower rose petals on Dimpy when she enters room. He hears footsteps and switches on fan. Leela walks in instead and scolds Samar for being too romantic. Kinjal and Toshu walks in with Dimpy and seeing the situation, they try to take Leela out. Leela asks Samar and them to go out instead as she wants to talk to Dimpy. Samar walks away with them fuming.

Leela then gifts a necklace to Dimpy taunting her. Dimpy rudely taunts her back. Leela says she has kept 3 necklaces for her like she had kept for Kinjal. Dimpy says she should give it to her before she dies. Leela says everyone will leave the world some day for sure, but she wants to go late as there is nobody to keep her family united. She asks Dimpy to sleep separately from Samar tonight due to some custom.
Samar returns and fumes hearing that. Leela orders Samar to sleep in his room and Dimpy to sleep with her tonight. Dimpy walks out of her room fuming trying to correct her finger rings. Kinjal tries to help her. Dimpy yells at Leela that she ordered her and Samar to sleep separately on their wedding night. Kinjal asks her to calm down as Leela is old fashioned. Dimpy asks her to explain Leela or else it would be tough for her to stay in this house. She yells that Kinjal tried to become like Anupama and didn’t gain anything out of it, she doesn’t want to become Anupama and would like to be herself. She further shouts that she is given a smallest room in the house and apart from that have to sleep separately on her first night with a person who hates her.

Kanta tells Anupama that she took a right decision of attending conference and shouldn’t destroy her happiness for greedy Shahs. Maaya feels upset recalling Anuj’s stern reply to her. Gurumaa also looks anxious. Anuj recalls Anupama denying to meet him tomorrow. Next morning, Anupama performs pooja and prays god to keep Anuj happy and give him peace of mind and whatever he wants; keep her mother, Leela, and Hasmukh healthy; keep her children happy, etc..

Precap: Anupama reaches gurukul. Reports question how is he feeling after becoming a successor. Anupama touches gurumaa’s feet and says she feels same when became a mother. She dances on Jab Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya.. song. Anuj walks in. Gurumaa feels angry.

      I feel like this show has too many characters… theres too many characters and so many storylines…
      Like there is..
      Anupama, Vanraj, Ba, Bapuji, Samar, Paritosh, Pakhi, Kinjal, Kavya… then there is Anuj, Maya, Barkha, Ankush, Guruma, Dimple and so many more characters. Most of these Characters do not need to exist… what is the importance of them… honestly since there are so many characters you are unable to focus on the character growth and the storyline. This show is a mess… and it keeps getting worse, AND THEY KEEP ADDING MORE AND MORE CHARACTERS! ITS BIZZARE! Like why add characters if they do not help progress the story…
      Also whats the point of Dimple, she is pointless and honestly she should have exited the show before, same with Maya, Barkha… like those storylines are so pointless and stupid. Honestly nothing can save this show anymore. At what speed its going at, and the no time jump its honestly its never going to be good, until the time jump and getting rid of half the characters.

      • Ida Peterson on June 13, 2023 12:45 pm

        I agree. Dimpy should’ve left the show before marriage.she is irritating and no use. Paritosh aswell. Pakhi is just too much. And adhik is a baby. They can go. Vinraj is a dictator. And Leela is too much

      • RS on June 13, 2023 6:23 pm

        If that’s the case, no characters to watch. It will be boring.

      • Prisha on June 13, 2023 12:57 pm

        the serial is going at a very slow pace, too much dragging. So many things are yet to be revealed and shown in the serial:
        1. Gurumaa Malti Devi is Anuj’s mother.
        2. Anupama leaves for America or not
        3. Toshu raping Kinjal
        4. Rakhi Dave re-entering
        5. What’s wrong with Choti Anu?
        6. The real shit between Vanraj, Maya and Barkha (I feel there’s something more)
        7. Dimpy’s true colours
        8. Does Kinjal leave Toshu after samar-dimpy wedding like she said?
        9. What happens to Anuj?

      • Sivk on June 13, 2023 7:11 pm

        10. What is wrong with Samar? Where did the old Samar went to?

      • Ria on June 13, 2023 12:59 pm

        I also read somewhere that Dimpy will do Kavya’s miscarriage in order for her to leave so that she can take over Kavya’s room

      • Sivk on June 13, 2023 7:09 pm

        Then after getting rid of all the characters what are you going to watch? No dramas no drama to watch? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      • Suhamu on June 13, 2023 11:19 pm

        @mystery you are right,too many characters. And this Dimpy was made from which material?what is the meaning of this Dimple character?

    2. Rosy on June 13, 2023 11:46 am

      Samar is so desperate for that dimpy,.. Pata nahi aisa kya dekha isme, too much arrogant n ahsaan faramish she is… Feel pukish on hearing her voice n looking at her face khu ko ambani ki beti samajh rahi hsin ky, old fashioned necklace bol rahi hain, n samar chi .. Dying to be with that b*t*h, no comparison with namdini, aur agar rakhi agai na jo bateezi kinjal k saath ki uskaaaza batayegi.. Kinjal is do rich but down to earth but this woman vem from dust n flying high in sky

      • Sheryl on June 13, 2023 2:07 pm

        Totally agree with you I can’t stand dumb dimpy she’s greedy rude arrogant her voice is just so excruciating it pierces my ear she should be grateful Samar accepted her as her first husband realised he made a mistake
        took the first plane out b .t..y maaya who’s ugly and scary as My night neon mat makes me sick the writer director producer has to rethink the story line when a soapie gets stupid I stop watching really disappointing

      • Random on June 13, 2023 7:47 pm

        Or yeh dimpy itni insecure hai samar ko leke agar kbhi nandini india wapis aayi bhi kavya se milne ya kisi bhi kaam se toh bhi yeh jalegi or nandini ko pkka suna degi kch n kch tab bhi yeh mahaan anupama dimpi ka he side legi yeh bolke ki bichari dar gyi hogi anupama kinjal ko suna deti thi agar woh galat hoti thi but dimpy ko jyada kch nhi bolti uske favorite bete ki wife h isliye

    3. Nadine on June 13, 2023 11:54 am

      For the first time anupama took the right decision,I can name her for that !! Sometimes it’s okay lay to think about yourself and forget others . Leela will never stop using anupama ,she should handle dimple on her own .and anupamas advice is just as useless ,dimpy is the one who needs to adjust to the shah’s not the other way around 😤😤😩🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
      Does this girl dimple thinks she’s from a wealthy family ? She knew very well that samar doesn’t have a “big room” so why is she acting brand new 😡😡😡😡this little b*tch deserves to be in the streets ,now she wants vanraj’ room like what the hell !! She should go to her house with samar and take her fathers bedroom instead 🤦‍♀️🚮🚮😤

      • Ida Peterson on June 13, 2023 12:50 pm

        Leela is really getting erritating. She supposed to be mother and grandmother but she is a witch. She says something good then something bad. She suits the role but pls make her more loving

    4. Neha on June 13, 2023 12:08 pm

      What is this dialogue ” my muje anupama k tarah nai Banna hain” who asked them to be anupama at first place? N y is everyone hell bent on saying that sentence, it’s only baa who wants everyone to be doormat like anupama n not say a word, no one doesn’t want to do anything by themselves rather want everything readymade
      First pakki said ,then kavya after marrying v, then kinjal said the same, n now this dimpy (who was brought up 4m a road side being raped n injured n got her justice n an identity 4m sociaty, n got to become a Bahu of the saviour), Hume to wo b nai milega, no body accepts a rape victim, they r rather advised or left to suicide. PPL r so cruel outside, and in tv what they showing as it’s 70s or 80s. Sick of hearing that stupid dialogue “i dnt wanna be anupama” after they take her 4 granted n then do what they want n espect her to be how they wants.
      To be honest no one wants to be like anupama as she is tooooo much submissive n Gyan mata which is irritating, u can be good n well behaved n respectful like her but not shut ur mouth when someone talks nonsense…. Self respect is very much needed. Which anupama has never cared for that… Hope she does in future.. she let PPL take her for granted n let them do all wrong to her…that’s y PPL feel like using her when they want.

    5. Anupama Uk Viewer on June 13, 2023 1:08 pm

      Very happy with Anu today, I seriously thought that she won’t refuse anyone and try to multitask and get late for the press conference today but thank god she made it👍🏼 Dimpy is too much, I don’t think even youngsters for our generation are this insolent! Especially to the woman of the family that gave her a new life.
      Anuj is getting a taste of his own medicine; the thing he blamed her unnecessarily for is coming back to bite him. He always said that she never gave him and Choti priority… Anu never believed in giving priorities to families or giving one family more importance than the other; she tried to keep a balance by giving both families the same amount of importance. But people including Anuj only saw her failure, they never saw her efforts and pain, and blamed her. Now when she is actually not giving priority to anyone, people are still upset, such as Baa and Anuj😂
      Also, the funniest dialogue today = I will wait for your for another janam if possible’; my full family burst out laughing listening to that. I mean seriously Anuj? You couldn’t even handle the hardships that marraige threw at you and ran away, even went to the extent to make the decision to finish your relationship with Anu ; talking like that makes him seem like a clown. Glad Anu rejected him. Now let’s see what drama occurs in the precap when Anuj reaches Gurukal. BTW, Anu looks extra pretty in the precap🥰

      • Monika Priya on June 13, 2023 5:25 pm

        Lol wat pain?
        Ur deviji took dat pain on herself
        Usko sab sab chaiye
        Who asked her to do multitasking nd fail ?
        Even nw devijis self respect went to Himalayas wen baa was asking her to not interfere in family matters yesterday
        Tab Kahan gayi thi deviji ki self respect
        She has self respect only wen Anuj scolds her
        Shah’s kuch bhi kare no shame no respect
        Nd keeps going to them
        Yes Anuj is tasting his own medicine by marrying a baggage like anupama
        In real life no women after divorce will stick like gum with ex laws
        But deviji toh mahan hai
        Nd her fans can’t even see her hypocrisy on her self respect matters
        Nd talking abt taking granted
        Were u blind wen ur deviji was taking Anuj fr granted fr 10 months?

        Sometymz ppl supporting anupama r hypocrite like her
        Like u r blind wen she hurted Anuj
        But woke up nd shouting wen Anuj hurted her
        Atlst he acknowledged his mistake nd apologised
        Did ur deviji till nw apologized fr her mistakes? Nd fyi
        It was Anuj who had helped anupama d most fr her carrier
        Tumlogon ko Shah’s ki paap bhulgayi ki sirf Anuj ki galtiyan ko taunt mar Rahi ho
        If ur deviji s so gud nd hav self respect nd intelligent
        Den y did she gav her dance academy which she has put a lot of efforts
        Nd u did she hand overed her rights on kapadia empire , wen Anuj asked her not to give evn if he asks?
        Did she tried to talk with choti anu after she returned?
        This shows ur deviji inspite of gtn humiliated hurted nd wat not still she will prioritise Shah’s
        But her self respects wakes up nly fr anuj
        Cz he s d easy target fr her
        If Maya is bad , vanraj was so evil frm d start
        Still madamfeeling proud of him fr supporting kavya , wat abt him lusting over deviji? She frgt nd suddenly he BCM acha pita?
        In dat case Anuj is much much more better than lustraj
        But madam keeps showing her partiality not to Anuj
        Nd her hypocrite fake feminist fans can’t even see her mistakes

      • Any on June 13, 2023 7:33 pm

        She does mistake but what right Anuj have to leave her and take decision of their marriage alone even if for a unintentional mistake?

        And how she was at fault when Maya Emotionally Blackmail CA and CA made Anupama promise to not stop her

        Even if she had not visited Shah House, gave all time, would this thing not have happened? Answer me .

      • RS on June 13, 2023 6:34 pm

        You took the words right out of my mouth. Well said. Anuj is a loser, he cannot even run his business, The guys business has incurred losses and he is busy sniffing around Anu like a dog on heat 🔥. He is still not throwing Maaya out. Why??? Also Dimpy is behaving like the lady of the Shah’s household and he doesn’t have a clue what she is really like.
        So glad Anupama hung up on him for Guruma. Shame.
        Samar as well, so stupid.

    6. Razor on June 13, 2023 2:28 pm

      Finally Anupama thinking of herself and not for others. Forget about others if they want to kill each other let them go ahead. Just concentrate on your own goals.

    7. Monika Priya on June 13, 2023 5:28 pm

      If deviji did this priority thing b4 itself
      Den Anuj nd choti would hav never left her
      It was Anuj nd choti who gt cursed nd humiliated by Shah’s
      But still ur deviji never said anythn to her baa nd bigade hua aulads nd lustraj
      Evn after baa cursing her happiness still she keeps running to her nd hugging her nd calling her good

      • Any on June 13, 2023 7:39 pm

        I hope you never commit a mistake or do blunder else your Life Partner would leave you for another woman and you will keep blaming yourself

        So foolish thinking.
        Why Anuj priortised that 2mos CA over 26yr old One sided love? Why CA made her Promise to not stop her from leaving with Maya? Why Anuj didn’t returned to Anu still now?
        Why only Anupama alone would handle the relationships and stop CA from leaving? What Anuj did ? Why he proved his love was conditional when he always claims it unconditional

        Anupama did mistake then Anuj did Sin by Leaving Anu.

    8. Anupama Uk Viewer on June 13, 2023 6:29 pm

      @Monika Priya. I’m happy you call her Deviji, at least she is goddess like ( that’s a compliment) , not a disgusting shaitan. ok let’s see, Anuj knew she had no ‘self respect’ when it came to the Shah’s due to her children. (If your parents insulted/yelled at you, will you not talk to them due to self respect?)Anuj knew that Shah’s were very important to her and she would leave everything and run to them no matter how much they insulted her… what did your bechara Anuj Kapadia say then? He said that we will be together after marraige and we will handle it together blah blah blah… did he tell her that he will be adopting a child after marraige? No. And he has no right to go into Anu’s matters and tell her to prioritise him and Choti only
      . If you forgot, let me remind you that Anu didn’t care about her self respect either when Anuj left her, she still didn’t let anyone say one word against him, had no anger against him at all; she was happily dancing and singing when he told her he’s coming back. Even now, it’s not about her self respect, when she found out Anuj isn’t coming back she got into Malti Devi’s contract and she can’t break that and go to him, and Anuj himself stayed quiet when she asked if he can leave Maya and return to her.
      Will you lash out at Anu the same way if she only prioritised Anuj and Choti and just left the shahs? Probably not.
      What do you mean why should she mutitask; if you have more than 1 important person in your life, do you just focus on one person and ignore the rest? No. A blind fan is someone who supports Anuj now just because he is their favourite character. Anuj used to be my favourite character but now, he’s revolting.
      All this about not prioritising Anuj and ignoring him, please someone tell me when? If Anuj asked her to do something for him, will she say no I have to assist the Shahs? I cannot see where she hurt Anuj apart from the dance competition. She never insulted him in public, never ignored him purposefully, if anyone says anything against him, does she ever stay quiet? No. When Baa cursed her, did you want her to curse her back? ; just because she spilt her responsibilities doesn’t mean she is ignoring Anuj. In fact, Anuj ignored and abused Anu for Choti. If you think that’s justificable, fine. Your opinion, but in my eyes, Anu has always been right, she begged him and pleaded with him not to go, he rebuked her and went right into Maya’s trap where he can’t get out even if he wants to. If Anu is wrong, why is she happy and at peace but Anuj is still restless and not happy. Beacuse Anu always blames herself for everything. Anuj even he knows he is wrong, funny why the audience can’t accept it. If Anu is wrong, Anuj is not a saint.
      Anu never badmouthed about Anuj to anyone, nor let anyone badmouth him. And Anuj? He backbited about his own wife to another woman at the picnic he went to, ignoring his wife and when Maya used this to insult her in front of everyone the day Choti left by questioning her motherhood, did Anuj say anything? No, the idiot just watched😡 Choti leaving was her own choice, Anuj leaving was his own choice and not accepting Anuj back is Anu’s choice. Just because she wants good for everyone, she is a villain to you😂😂😂😂 pity😂 if Anu wanted everything, what’s wrong with that? You might ignore one family for another family but I would never be able to to that, especially if children are involved so I relate with her on that matter.

      • RS on June 13, 2023 8:09 pm

        So eloquently and accurately put.

    9. CWM on June 13, 2023 7:35 pm

      I hope you people realize that MaAn is still the end game. whether you like or don’t like anuj/Anupama character, they are still going to end up together unless GK or RG leaves/retire from the show. Just enjoy the show and drama it’s meant for entertainment

      • Anupama Uk Viewer on June 13, 2023 7:47 pm

        Yes that’s true, Maan is the end game. It’s just a serial, I know, but it gets so frustrating when people don’t differentiate right from wrong and support the character just because they like them. I bet even if Anuj slapped Anupama or cheated on her, Anuj blind fans will be like Anu deserved that, same goes to Anupama blind supporters.

    10. Sail on June 13, 2023 8:10 pm

      Yes yes that’s very true @CWM @UK View er

    11. Suuuri buddhiji i’m not a fan on June 13, 2023 8:44 pm

      There is not even a single episode where dumbopama is not overacting. And all other characters are being teared down just to make that stupid woman look great. Funniest thing is most people among audience has badly fallen for it. Only few people can see that she is a gandi character.

      • AA on June 13, 2023 9:06 pm

        And Anuj is a very Mahan, pure, patni vrata pati right? And he doesn’t over react at all, right? It’s better to see Anupama’s so called overacting than see all the gandigi that Anuj has spread in the last 2 months. At least she brings a positive vibe. It’s very sad that you find a positive, good hearted character gandi. Then who do you find pure?

      • Suuri buddhiji im not a fan on June 13, 2023 9:45 pm

        Sorry if I offended you but i never even once said anuj is pure or good hearted or that he doesn’t overeact. He also does. What I find offensive is that the makers have torn most of the characters only to justify annoypama. If she is the lead character she is supposed to be a role model for women her age. Everyone makes mistakes and she too is allowed to do so since she also human but I see her as the weakest characters who never learn anything from her previous experiences and when something happens all she does is lecture people around her and do overeacting rona dhona so yes that is why i find her character gandi. For me a pure character would be someone who’s willing to learn from their mistakes and becomes independent.

      • Sivk on June 14, 2023 1:09 am

        However she is, she is paid to be who she is, and FYI she is acting according to script! Go question the scriptwriters!

      • Suuuri buddhiji i’m not your fan on June 14, 2023 3:03 am

        FYI if the real actress was a sane person no amount of money would make her take the role of a regressed woman. You go question the makers!

    12. Lackshme on June 14, 2023 12:17 am

      I agree, too many characters, too many negative characters now, get rid of the all
      Bark-$$
      The pr*stitute and her so-called child
      Pimp-li
      Scary Devi
      Anupama dont even have to go to USA, just screw it all and support your lover boi😍😍 Anuj

      • NRI 4 on June 14, 2023 12:32 am

        Buddhiji is already foolish but if buddhiji goes back to bewda fudu anuj even after all this then she will be officially proven as the most idiotic person as she will clearly have zero self respect. So if u r fan of her u wouldn’t want her to be proven has braindead person wud u?

    13. Original NRI on June 14, 2023 1:06 am

      Oh kinju baby, you forgave the infidelity of your husband? She became chotu anu for real. Dimpy is/was so right.
      She was wearing modern dresses, pants tops and now is reduced to indian wear.
      In these shows, a woman wearing indian wear is a sign of regression.
      And Anupama is just a pushover. She didnt solve any dilemma.
      When did Anuj not support her dreams? He would do anything for her.

      PS: all you fake NRIs, GFTO

      • Suuuri buddhiji i’m not your fan on June 14, 2023 3:06 am

        Go watch the episodes properly. Kinjal HAS NOT forgiven her husband’s ONS. She herself told him once samar wedding over she will divorce him. U go n question writers why they have not started to show that track. But yes u r correct about indianwear. In all these shows women are shown only in indianwear. Pata nahi konsa century mai makers jeerahi hain. U r also correct about overactingpama being a pushover. She never knw how to do anything. She is a fool

      • NRI 2 on June 14, 2023 3:54 pm

        Hey whackadoodle…what’s the use of not forgiving, but staying in the same room, under the same roof? Of course Toshu will keep pushing her.
        Same indian melodrama.
