Today’s episode begins with Anupama saying everything is set. She shares that many times she has felt this emotion before but every time it feels new. Banku asks what kind of feeling it is. Anupama explains that it is a mix of slight fear and excitement like when starting something new. Hands begin to tremble and there is a nervousness in the heart like butterflies in the stomach.
Banku says Digvijay would never have agreed to bring all this as he never thought garbage could be reused. Anupama replies that hard work is greater than money and with dedication everything falls into place. She gets excited and says she hopes someone arrives soon.
The Idea Behind the Cafe
Banku asks if that’s why Anupama made the paper crown. Anupama explains that the crown will make customers feel special and they will remember the cafe forever. Banku wonders who their first customer will be. Anupama says she doesn’t know but whoever it is they will be welcomed like a king or queen.
She recalls that Anuj always said business should be done with both heart and mind. If done with love publicity comes on its own. A customer will pay for their order but if they receive something extra with love they will always remember it and keep coming back. Just then Digvijay arrives and is shocked to see the cafe.
Digvijay Appreciates Anupama’s Efforts
Anupama assures Digvijay that she hasn’t changed anything only reused old materials to fix sofas and chairs. Even the menu remains the same just aligned with Saavi’s preferences. She requests him not to get angry on the first day.

Hasmukh Faces Humiliation

A woman agrees to buy but her husband doubts the quality insulting Hasmukh and calling him suspicious. Hasmukh politely tells them not to spend money where there is no trust and thanks them for stopping. The woman apologizes and her husband finally buys incense sticks worth ₹200.
