Characters:
- Anupamaa: Energetic and hopeful, she plans a surprise birthday party for herself.
- Vanraj: Self-absorbed and dismissive, unaware of Anupamaa’s birthday.
- Toshu, Samar, and Pakhi: Anupamaa’s children, eager to celebrate their mother.

The Story:
Anupamaa hums a cheerful tune as she decorates the living room. Her children, Toshu, Samar, and Pakhi, help with a sense of shared excitement. They reveal that they pooled their pocket money to buy her a small gift – a beautiful silk scarf.
Vanraj, oblivious to the preparations, complains about the noise. When Anupamaa reminds him it’s her birthday, he dismisses it with a careless “Oh, happy birthday,” not looking up from the TV. Leela, Vanraj’s mother, enters the room and throws a sarcastic comment about “wasting money on decorations.”
Anupamaa’s smile falters slightly, but she remains positive. The doorbell rings, and Samar rushes to open the door. It’s Kavya, Vanraj’s colleague who has subtly expressed interest in him. She’s surprised to see the decorations and asks about the occasion.
Anupamaa, ever the gracious host, invites Kavya to stay. Kavya’s presence creates an awkward atmosphere. Anupamaa’s children exchange nervous glances, sensing their mother’s discomfort. Leela uses the opportunity to make snide remarks about Anupamaa’s age and her “need” for attention.
Toshu, unable to bear his mother’s sadness any longer, announces that they ordered pizza for dinner. As they sit down to eat, the doorbell rings again. It’s Anupamaa’s friend, Sarita, who arrives with a cake and warm wishes.
The sight of Sarita brings a genuine smile to Anupamaa’s face. They share a warm embrace, a silent understanding passing between them. Sarita’s presence injects positivity into the tense atmosphere.
As they sing Happy Birthday, Kavya observes the warmth between Anupamaa and her family. Vanraj remains aloof, lost in his phone. Despite the disappointment, Anupamaa finds solace in the love of her children and friends. She blows out the candles, making a silent wish for a life filled with respect and happiness.
The Ending:
After dinner, Sarita departs, leaving Anupamaa with a renewed sense of strength. As the children clean up, Anupamaa approaches Vanraj. She expresses her hurt at his indifference and questions if her birthday doesn’t hold any significance for him.
Vanraj, caught off guard by her outburst, makes a halfhearted apology and retreats to the television. Anupamaa, with tears welling up, retreats to her room, a sense of loneliness settling over her.
The episode ends with Anupamaa gazing at her reflection, a single tear rolling down her cheek. Despite the disappointment, a glimmer of determination shines in her eyes.
