Anupama 1st august July 2025 Written Episode Update: Anupama’s Emotional Return and Family Tensions


 Hasmuk pleads with Anupama to come back, but she refuses, questioning why she should return. Paritosh joins in requesting her return, and Anupama wonders about God’s intentions in bringing her back to the Shah family, moving forward hesitantly while her alter ego reminds her that she’s back to where she started. Hasmuk, Ansh, Prarthana, Kinjal, and Paritosh welcome Anupama, with Ansh performing a dance to celebrate her arrival. Preet and Ansh introduce themselves—Preet thanks Ansh for standing by Anupama and warns him not to hurt her again, highlighting their intention to not leave Anupama alone despite the disrespect she faces from her own family.

Meanwhile, Rita suggests staying in a hotel, but Sarita assures they can adjust for a few days. Deepa questions if Anupama will really stay, but Bharti insists they are her family and will win her back, with Sarita emphasizing the importance of blood ties. The Kotharis, hearing about Anupama’s return, react with suspicion: Khyati accuses Anupama of returning intentionally, Vasundhara opposes her presence, and Mahi alleges she seeks revenge. Prem defends Anupama and hopes she will help arrange Ansh and Prarthana’s marriage, while Vasundhara sees this as a threat. Rahi fears Anupama will take everything from her again, worried Prem will be drawn back to Anupama—Parag assures the Kotharis he’ll handle the situation and keep Anupama away, leaving Prem stunned.

Hasmuk, Ansh, and Paritosh persuade Anupama to lead the family puja; she performs it and breaks down emotionally, and Paritosh praises her while Leela blesses her, leaving Anupama surprised. Simultaneously, Rahi panics, believing Anupama’s presence will worsen matters; Prem consoles her, concerned about the distance growing between them due to family pressure. Anupama feels uneasy in her own home, reconnecting with Ansh and inquiring if Prarthana will stay with the Shahs. Supporting women including Sarita, Deepa, Preet, Bharti, and Rita affirm their decision to remain with Anupama, prompting Hasmuk to call Manohar for support.

Prem urges Rahi to ignore Anupama, but Rahi fears the Kotharis will blame Anupama if Ansh and Prarthana get married. Prem reassures her that both are adults and can decide for themselves. Meanwhile, Anupama senses something is being withheld from her and questions Ansh and Prem about it.

Title: "The Day a Mouse Invaded the White House!" – A Funny Incident from the Past

 

Back in the late 1970s, during President Jimmy Carter’s administration, something hilarious and unexpected happened inside the most secure house in America — the White House.

It was just another regular evening. President Carter was in the Oval Office, attending a high-level meeting with his advisors. Everything was going smoothly until suddenly — a mouse ran across the floor and disappeared under the president’s desk!

At first, there was silence. Then, confusion. The President froze. His advisors looked at each other in disbelief. One of the Secret Service agents jumped up as if he had just spotted an intruder with a weapon. But no, it was just a small, furry, four-legged "national threat."

The situation quickly turned into a hilarious scene. Imagine this: some of the most powerful people in the country, trained to handle world crises, now trying to chase a tiny mouse using folders, briefcases, and even a shoe!

At one point, someone suggested calling the maintenance team. Another person joked about setting "presidential traps" baited with cheese from the White House kitchen.

Meanwhile, President Carter, instead of panicking, started laughing. He reportedly said, "Well, at least it’s not a rat from Congress!" — making everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Eventually, the mouse escaped through a small gap in the wall, never to be seen again. But the story spread like wildfire among the staff. That day, the headlines didn’t read about war or politics — it was all about the mouse that scared the President's team.

Since then, the "Mouse Incident of the White House" has become a fun piece of trivia that White House historians still chuckle about. And yes, extra pest control measures were taken afterward — just in case another furry visitor decided to run for office!

"Tragedy at UK beach as 13-year-old schoolgirl dies after struggling in the sea"

 

A schoolgirl has died after 'getting into difficulty' in the sea at a popular UK beach.

Emergency services raced to Whitley Bay beach, North Tyneside, at around 5pm on July 24 after Edie Smart, 13, was found struggling in the water. 

The teenager, from the Monkseaton area, was rescued from the sea and taken to hospital but she tragically died on Monday.

Edie's next of kin are being supported by specially trained officers, police have said.

Detective Chief Inspector, Emma Smith, of Northumbria Police, said: 'This is an extremely tragic incident, and our deepest condolences go to Edie's family and friends.

'Our specially trained officers will continue to provide them with the support they need at this time.

'We ask that their privacy be respected as they begin to come to terms with the loss of their loved one.'

Emergency services were alerted just before 5pm on July 24 to a report of concern for the welfare of a teenager

Gunman with assault rifle opens fire inside New York skyscraper, killing four before turning weapon on himself"


 A gunman seen carrying an M4 assault rifle killed four people, including a police officer, when he opened fire in broad daylight in the heart of New York City, before taking his own life.

In terrifying security camera photos, the gunman could be seen striding into a midtown Manhattan office building on Monday wearing a sport coat and button-down shirt while openly carrying the large rifle by his side. 

The gunman was identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura from Las Vegas

A former high school football player with a history of mental health issues, the gunman had traveled across the country in the days leading up to the shooting, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. 

It was also revealed that the gunman had recently been fired as a security guard at a casino in Las Vegas. 

The building he targeted houses Blackstone asset management and the NFL. 

Tamura had a silencer on his rifle when he opened fire inside the lobby at around 6.30pm, according to CNN. The firearm also had a scope and strap. 

NYPD officer Didarul Islam, 36, who had been on the force for three years was working private security at the time on his day off, and was shot and killed in the lobby of the building. 

The man went to the elevator bank and shot a security guard who was taking cover behind a security desk and also another man in the lobby, Tisch said. 

The man took the elevator to the 33rd floor to a real estate management company and one person was shot and killed on that floor. The man then walked down a hallway and shot himself, she said. 

“‘Ryno’ — Baseball legend Ryne Sandberg sparks global tribute trend as fans mourn his passing”

 

“Former Chicago Cubs icon Ryne ‘Ryno’ Sandberg, 65, has passed away after competing bravely against metastatic prostate cancer. A 10‑time All‑Star and nine‑time Gold Glove winner, Sandberg’s legacy now unites fans worldwide. #Ryno #RyneSandberg #CubLegend #BaseballForever”

Chicago Cubs legend and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, Ryne Sandberg, passed away at the age of 65 from metastatic prostate cancer. Chicago Cubs legend and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, Ryne Sandberg, passed away at the age of 65 from metastatic prostate cancer.

His journey with the deadly disease was fairly recent, with the first announcement about it coming in January 2024. He revealed that he is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

In August 2024, much to the relief of his admirer, Sandberg announced that he was cancer-free. However, the relief was short-lived as Sandberg announced in December 2024 that prostate cancer had returned and as spread to other organs - a condition known as metastasis.

He had resumed treatment and fought the disease for nearly seven months before it finally took him on Monday, July 28, the Chicago Cubs announced.

"Ryne Sandberg was a hero to a generation of Chicago Cubs fans and will be remembered as one of the all-time greats in nearly 150 years of this historic franchise," Tom Ricketts, the executive chairman of the Chicago Cubs, said in a statement.

"His dedication to and respect for the game, along with his unrelenting integrity, grit, hustle, and competitive fire were hallmarks of his career. He was immensely proud of his teammates and his role as a global ambassador of the game of baseball, but most of all, he was proud of Margaret, his children and his role as husband, father, and grandfather," it added.

Also read: Ryne Sandberg dies at 65: All on wife Margaret, and children Justin and Lindsey

The Washington native is survived by his second wife, Margaret, whom he married in August 1995, and their five children: Justin, Lindsey, Steven, BR, and Adriane.

He also had two children—Justin and Lindsey—with his first wife, Cindy White, to whom he was married from 1979 until their divorce in July 1995.

Wallabies lose veteran prop Alaalatoa for third Lions Test

Wallabies lose veteran prop Alaalatoa for third Lions Test

Veteran Australia prop Allan Alaalatoa was ruled out of the third British and Irish Lions Test Tuesday, the Wallabies' second injury blow in as many days.

Alaalatoa hurt his shoulder during last week's crushing last-minute 29-26 defeat in the second Test at Melbourne, not returning after half-time as the Lions clinched the series 2-0.

His absence explains the call-up on Monday of former All Blacks prop Aidan Ross, who has linked up with the Wallabies for the first time.

It is more likely, however, that Tom Robertson, who came off the bench in the first two Tests, or Taniela Tupou will start in the front row on Saturday in Sydney.

"He's a massive part of the group," forward Jeremy Williams said of Alaalatoa.

"We just wish him the best in his recovery and hopefully he'll be back out there soon."

Williams had praise for Ross, who was born in Australia before moving to New Zealand as a child, playing one Test for the All Blacks in 2022 before switching allegiances this year.

The 29-year-old was a long-time Waikato Chiefs player but he will play for Queensland Reds from next season.

"He's a great bloke and he trains really hard," said Williams.

"He's been in a few different systems now so I'm sure he's going to add a lot of value to the group."

Wing Harry Potter has also been ruled out injured, with coach Joe Schmidt having several options to replace him, including Dylan Pietsch, Filipo Daugunu and Corey Toole.

Australia head into the game desperate to avoid a whitewash, after losing the opening Test in Brisbane 27-19.

Lock Nick Frost said the team were hungry for another shot at Andy Farrell's men after their disappointment at losing in Melbourne to Hugo Keenan's controversial late try.

"There's a bit of fire in the belly from the last couple of games, and you're playing in Sydney, for a lot of the boys, that's hometown," he said.

"You're playing for your nation, playing for your family first and foremost too."

Pokemon Legends Z-A's Mega Dragonite leak finally confirmed, and it's either "so good" or the "worst design for a Mega Evolution Pokemon ever" depending on who you ask

 

  • The latest Pokemon Presents gave us a fresh look at Pokemon Legends Z-A, and detailed a few new features we can expect from the upcoming RPG. We already knew that Mega Evolutions would return, but now we've gotten our first look at a brand-new Mega form debuting in Z-A: Mega Dragonite.

    "Mega Dragonite is a newly discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon with distinctive Dragonair-like features," as the devs explain in a press release, "including wings on its head and a pearl on its tail. Mega Dragonite can also fly faster and farther than ever before."

    The design is quite an odd one, pulling in the pearl-like details and head wings from Dragonair, and it's proven to be a bit of a 'love it or hate it' thing. Genuinely, it seems like there's no in-between, with comments on the new appearance either praising it as the most adorable thing you've ever seen or condemning it as an absolute abomination
