==Reception==<br />
===Critics===<br />
''[[India Today]]'' stated, "Rupali Ganguly fits the character perfectly and aces the role of a [[Gujarat]]i homemaker. The show strikes a chord with the homemakers as they can identify with the protagonist. Anupamaa has the right amount of emotions, drama, and spice. The show has the right mix of family values and a modern outlook. The show is a heartwarming tale".<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Monday Masala: Rupali Ganguly-starrer Anupamaa has the right ingredients for a hit TV show|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/television/my-view/story/monday-masala-rupali-ganguly-starrer-anupamaa-has-the-right-ingredients-for-a-hit-tv-show-1704924-2020-07-27|website=India Today|date=2020-07-28}}</ref><br />

In October 2024, after the fifteen-year generation leap in the story, netizens spotted similarities between the Aadhya-Anupamaa reunion track and reunion track of "[[Akshara Maheshwari Singhania|Akshara-]][[Naira Singhania Goenka|Naira]]"(2016) from ''[[Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai]]'', another popular soap of the same production house. [[The Times of India]] stated, "Now, fans have taken to their [[Instagram]] handles to find the exact same scene from the show ''Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai'' when "[[Akshara Maheshwari Singhania|Akshara]]" ([[Hina Khan]]) reunited with "[[Naira Singhania Goenka|Naira]]" ([[Shivangi Joshi]]) after a leap. As the fanpage posted both promos, many of them have commented, a user wrote, ''"Kitna vi kar le Akshara or naira jaisa nhi ho sakta"'' (They can never match Akshara and Naira)."<ref>{{Cite news |date=24 October 2024 |title=Netizens spot striking similarities between Naira-Akshara and Rahi-Anupamaa's reunion; fans write "Makers copied from their own shows" |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/netizens-spot-striking-similarities-between-naira-akshara-and-rahi-anupamaas-reunion-fans-write-makers-copied-from-their-own-shows/articleshow/114549020.cms |access-date=25 October 2024 |work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref><br />

==Reception==<br />
===Critics===<br />
''[[India Today]]'' stated, "Rupali Ganguly fits the character perfectly and aces the role of a [[Gujarat]]i homemaker. The show strikes a chord with the homemakers as they can identify with the protagonist. Anupamaa has the right amount of emotions, drama, and spice. The show has the right mix of family values and a modern outlook. The show is a heartwarming tale".<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Monday Masala: Rupali Ganguly-starrer Anupamaa has the right ingredients for a hit TV show|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/television/my-view/story/monday-masala-rupali-ganguly-starrer-anupamaa-has-the-right-ingredients-for-a-hit-tv-show-1704924-2020-07-27|website=India Today|date=2020-07-28}}</ref><br />

In October 2024, after the fifteen-year generation leap in the story, netizens spotted similarities between the Aadhya-Anupamaa reunion track and reunion track of "[[Akshara Maheshwari Singhania|Akshara-]][[Naira Singhania Goenka|Naira]]"(2016) from ''[[Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai]]'', another popular soap of the same production house. [[The Times of India]] stated, "Now, fans have taken to their [[Instagram]] handles to find the exact same scene from the show ''Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai'' when "[[Akshara Maheshwari Singhania|Akshara]]" ([[Hina Khan]]) reunited with "[[Naira Singhania Goenka|Naira]]" ([[Shivangi Joshi]]) after a leap. As the fanpage posted both promos, many of them have commented, a user wrote, ''"Kitna vi kar le Akshara or naira jaisa nhi ho sakta"'' (They can never match Akshara and Naira)."<ref>{{Cite news |date=24 October 2024 |title=Netizens spot striking similarities between Naira-Akshara and Rahi-Anupamaa's reunion; fans write "Makers copied from their own shows" |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/netizens-spot-striking-similarities-between-naira-akshara-and-rahi-anupamaas-reunion-fans-write-makers-copied-from-their-own-shows/articleshow/114549020.cms |access-date=25 October 2024 |work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref><br />

==Plot==<br />
===Season 1===<br />
Sai Joshi lives in Gadchiroli with her father, Inspector Kamal Joshi, and wants to pursue medicine at Nagpur Medical College. Virat Chavan, an IPS officer in Nagpur, is posted at Gadchiroli. Before he leaves for his posting, he meets Patralekha "Pakhi" at a retreat, falling in love. In a twist of fate, she gets engaged to Samrat, Virat's cousin, chosen by her parents. Reuniting with Virat, Pakhi decides to break off the engagement, but Virat convinces her otherwise by promising that he will only love her and joins his posting.<br />
<br />
In Gadchiroli, Sai’s hatred for Virat strengthens when Kamal takes a bullet to save him. As promised to a dying Kamal, Virat proposes an unwilling compromise marriage to Sai, who reluctantly agrees to it. Back in Nagpur, most of the Chavan family refuses to accept their marriage as Sai is not from the upper class. Sai impresses Virat, and he starts falling for her. After a series of misunderstandings and clearances, Sai and Virat confess their love to each other. Soon, Sai is pregnant while Pakhi falls for Samrat, who had returned. Samrat dies while trying to rescue Sai from a kidnapping. Pakhi blames Sai, and she suffers from a miscarriage, becoming incapable of conceiving. Pakhi acts as a surrogate so she can get closer to Virat. She gives birth to the baby, Vinayak, and tries to kill herself. Sai investigates Pakhi's involvement in illegal surrogacy and has her arrested. Sai and Virat fight due to Pakhi's bail, and she leaves the house along with Vinayak. She meets with an accident and the Chavans consider them dead. However, Sai survives and searches for Vinayak but fails. She also discovers that she is pregnant with Savi.<br />
<br />
7 years later, Sai raises Savi alone in Kankavli. Vinayak, Virat's adopted son with Pakhi, goes camping and meets them. Virat goes to Kankavli and is shocked to see Sai alive. Later, Sai and Savi reach Nagpur for Vinayak's treatment, where the entire family is shocked to see Sai alive. Virat discovers that Vinayak is his own blood, instead of adopted and Savi is also his own daughter. Sai fears that she will be the reason for breaking Pakhi's married life and decides to leave Virat forever. Sai and Satya, a colleague, marry, and Virat is left heartbroken. Pakhi realizes that Virat has never loved her and permanently leaves him. Satya is injured in an accident and his legs are paralyzed. Sai consults the doctors, and they advise her to take Satya to Germany. Sai, Satya and Savi board the plane and see the Chavan family is also on the plane but it is hijacked. Virat and Sai stop the hijackers, and the entire Chavan family and Satya exit safely. However, Sai and Virat are stuck in the plane where they confess their love in their final moments, and the bomb blast kills them.<br />

Meanwhile, in Pune, the managing director of Bhosale Institute of Excellence, Dr. Ishaan Bhosale, and Reeva Marathe are childhood friends who grow closer and decide to get married. Ishaan suffers from trauma as his mother, Isha, left him while he was young to take care of her ailing parents. On their engagement day, Swati blackmails Reeva into flying to London for further studies. Reeva agrees, and Ishaan feels betrayed.<br />

Savi wins a scholarship to Bhosale Institute, but the Chavans fix Savi's marriage with Samruddh Latkar. Before the marriage, Isha tells Savi about his bad character and alcoholism. Savi tells her that the family members, except Bhavani and Vinayak and they help her escape from the wedding. With Isha's help, Savi reaches Pune and, with a lot of difficulties, she is admitted to Bhosale Institute, where Ishaan repeatedly insults her but later apologizes and becomes her mentor. Later, Ishaan confesses his love to Reeva, who returns, after seeing her repent, and proposes to her. An injured Harini requests Ishaan to marry Savi as her last wish after the Chavans die in an explosion caused by Samruddh. A day before Ishaan and Reeva's wedding, Ishaan takes Savi to a temple and marries her. Eventually, Savi learns the truth about her family's death. She leaves the Bhosale house, and Ishaan begins to realize his feelings for Savi. Meanwhile, a corrupt police officer, Bhanwar, becomes obsessed with Savi. On Ishaan and Reeva’s wedding day, Ishaan reconciles with Isha, confesses his love for Savi, and Reeva sacrifices her love for Ishaan's happiness and she and Savi come on good terms. After Ishaan and Savi's marriage, Bhanwar attacks Ishaan and Shikha, Ishaan's pregnant cousin-in-law, but Savi takes the bullet meant for Shikha. Bhanwar dies in an altercation, while both Ishaan and Savi are hospitalized. In his dying moments, Ishaan asks Isha and Shantanu to take care of Savi and help her move on, and he passes away.<br />
<br />
7 years later, Savi works as a teacher in Mumbai and stays with Isha and Shantanu. She learns that she can never conceive, and meets a young neighbor, Saisha "Sai" Thakkar, becoming friends, but her grandmother, Bhagyashree, and Isha often quarrel.

===Season 3===<br />
In Amravati, Tejaswini is initially inclined towards the popular and arrogant singer Ruturaj, despite her parents, Mohit and Mukta’s objections. After a date with Ruturaj in Nagpur, Tejaswini develops feelings for him, but ends up in trouble. She is rescued by Ruturaj's cousin, Dr. Neelkant, alias Neil, who takes her back to Amravati safely and meets Mohit and Mukta, and they instantly like Neelkant. It is revealed that Neil was adopted, and his adoptive parents Leena and Vinod hide this from him. Tejaswini and Ruturaj's relationship is tested when Mohit dies, and Tejaswini, Mukta, and her brother Vedaan learn about Mohit’s first wife Laxmi and their daughter Aditi. Tejaswini calls up Ruturaj and asks him to marry her, but he refuses to do so. Coincidentally, Neil's marriage is fixed with Juhi, Tejaswini's cousin. A few days later, Ruturaj meets Tejaswini again in Nagpur and proposes to her, but she rejects him because he was not there during her tough times. After an accident, Neil confesses to Juhi that he loves Tejaswini and that Mohit's dying wish was their marriage. Juhi steps aside, and Tejaswini, under family pressure, marries Neil, only to discover Ruturaj is his cousin. Heartbroken, Ruturaj leaves the wedding. Tejaswini, feeling her life is ruined, resents Neil and enrolls in college. Leena, shocked to see Tejaswini as Neil’s wife, insults her. Juhi returns to the house and is insulted by her father, Satish, but the others accept her.<br />
<br />
At Neil and Tejaswini’s Gondhal ceremony, Mukta learns Neil and Ruturaj are cousins and warns Ruturaj to stay away. Leena doesn’t accept Tejaswini due to her own past heartbreak from Mohit. Leena files a complaint against the Chavans and Juhi for replacing the bride. Tejaswini reveals the entire truth about Juhi and Neil's conversation in the hospital to the family, and they take back their complaint. Leena vows to remove Tejaswini from Neil’s life, while Ruturaj vows to win her back. The entire family opposes Tejaswini becoming a singer, whereas Neil assures Tejaswini of his support. Later, when Neil is falsely accused of misconduct, Tejaswini proves his innocence and begins to fall for him. Neil goes to a medical camp and is trapped in the landslide. The entire family learns about Tejaswini and Ruturaj's relationship, and they tell her to stay away from Neil. Despite the family's warnings, Tejaswini goes to Konkan to search for Neil. She finds Neil in an injured state and has him admitted to the hospital. Tejaswini confesses her feelings to Neil, but he tells her to go away from her life and breaks all ties with her. Heartbroken, Tejaswini returns to her maternal home, only to be thrown out by Satish, leaving her alone.<br />
<br />
One month later, Neil recovers from his injuries and goes out to bring Tejaswini back. Savi, who was an [[Indian Administrative Service|IAS]] officer in Mumbai, willingly becomes an [[Indian Police Service|IPS]] officer and returns to Nagpur, and is a reflection of Virat. Some members of the Thakkar family shift from Mumbai to Nagpur like Bhagyashree, Riddhi, Tara and her husband Aniket, along with Rajat, Kiaan II, and Sai, leaving the business and family friends. Bhagyashree opposes Savi becoming an [[Indian Police Service|IPS]] officer because she had to shift to Nagpur because of her. Savi handles a bus murder case and is shocked to see Rajat's corpse in the bus, and breaks down at his death. Savi also finds Tejaswini's dead body near Rajat. Neil is shattered upon seeing Tejaswini’s dead body. The Thakkars, Pradhans, and Chavans are stunned by the tragedy. When the Pradhans question Tejaswini’s character, Neil defends her and reveals that Ruturaj was responsible for their misunderstandings. Savi and Neil swear to prove that their spouses were innocent and were not involved in any affair.<br />
<br />
Savi is investigating Tejaswini and Rajat's murder and is kidnapped along with her sister-in-law Riddhi. The kidnapper demands she find an antique necklace to save Riddhi. Meanwhile, Neil is also investigating the murder case and grows suspicious of various clues. Savi's priority shifts to saving Riddhi, and she refuses to help Neil with the investigation. The search for the necklace intensifies, putting Savi in a difficult situation.<br />
<br />
They decide to search in Rajat's car and find some rubies. Savi and Neil learn the stones in chocolates aren't rubies. Savi pleads with Maruti, Riddhi's kidnapper, to spare her in exchange for the necklace. Meanwhile, Savi's senior [[Indian Police Service|IPS]] Nitin Manjrekar warns her to stay out of the murder case. Savi agrees to Maruti's money laundering demands and lies to Bhagyashree about Riddhi's safety, saying she's in the USA. Savi then prepares to leave for Switzerland, where she is handed a suspicious bag by a goon at the airport.<br />
