Anupama follows the story of a Gujrat homemaker, Anupama, who is a devoted wife, mother, and daughter-in-law. She has a family-oriented and self-sacrificing nature, yet her husband, Vanraj, doesn’t appreciate her and even goes ahead to have an extramarital affair with his colleague, Kavya Gandhi.

On her 25th wedding anniversary, Anupama stumbles upon her husband and Kavya having an intimate moment. This breaks her heart and leaves her devastated, so she decides to live her life on her terms. Later, Paritosh, Anupama’s elder son, marries Kinjal, while Samara and Nandini get engaged.

In later episodes, Anupama asks Vanraj for a divorce, but he isn’t happy with her decision and fears losing Anupama. Furthermore, he even goes missing on his wedding day with Kavya, only to be confronted by Anupama, who then calls him out for his lack of courage and commitment.

Finally, Vanraj gets married to Kavya, who continues to humiliate Anupama at every chance she can get. In the later sequence, Anupama establishes her dance academy, which brings joy to the entire family.

The following episodes explore Anupama’s journey as she tackles all the challenges along the way and explores her relationship with a new character, Anuj Kapadia, a successful business tycoon who helps Anupama with her business.
