Anupamaa: Anupama confronts Pakhi, exposes her role in Rahi's performance failure

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anupama questions Ishani about her cryptic remark on Rahi's failure. Ishani reveals that with the family's support for Mahi, Rahi's chances of winning were slim. Pakhi, dismissing any concerns about Rahi, urges the Shahs to celebrate Mahi's victory instead. Meanwhile, Mahi seeks reassurance from Anupama, asking if she isn't happy with her win. Anupama, however, admits that as a mother, she cannot solely rejoice in Mahi's success while worrying about Rahi's situation. She silently hopes Prem will stand by Rahi. Toshu interrupts, asking Anupama to set aside her sentiments and join in celebrating Mahi's triumph. Pakhi insists on calling for a band to mark the occasion.

Later, Pakhi confronts Ishani, warning her to be cautious with her words, especially around Anupama. Ishani assures her that revealing the truth about sabotaging Rahi's anklet was unintentional. Their conversation is interrupted by Ansh, but Ishani and Pakhi breathe a sigh of relief when Ansh clarifies he didn't overhear their discussion.

Mahi grows uneasy:

The Shah family jubilantly celebrates Mahi's success. Prem, meanwhile, tends to Rahi, who is nursing her injuries. Dolly reminds everyone that Mahi is also a Shah, prompting the family to shower her with praise. Anupama, however, grows suspicious of the family's motives and becomes increasingly concerned for Rahi's well-being. She firmly believes Prem is the only one capable of supporting Rahi through this tough time.

Prem tries to persuade Rahi to drink water, though she initially refuses. He encourages her to go back home, but she hesitates, feeling she has no place to return to. Touched by his kindness, Rahi expresses her gratitude to Prem, thanking him for his unwavering support. Later, she asks him to leave her alone, vowing not to leave until she repays her debt to Anupama. Prem agrees but secretly hides in a tree nearby, unable to truly leave her side. Watching her from a distance, he resolves to ease her pain. As Prem reflects on his time with Rahi, he realizes he has started developing feelings for her, leaving him both conflicted and confused. Meanwhile, Mahi anxiously awaits Prem, eager to express her emotions to him. Anupama calls Prem via video, and he reassures her that although Rahi is upset, he will manage to help her. 

The following day, Anupama waits anxiously for Rahi's return. However, Mahi grows uneasy upon noticing Prem's absence and starts to suspect he might be with Rahi.

Anupama confronts Pakhi:

Elsewhere, Rahi confronts Prem, questioning why he refuses to leave her. Prem explains that he cannot abandon someone in such a vulnerable state. As he watches her, his thoughts wander to his budding feelings for her, finding himself captivated even by her anger-filled expressions. On the other hand, Rahi's thoughts are filled with her anger toward Anupama, fueling her resolve to seek revenge.

Back at home, Jhanki advises Anupama to take some rest, but Anupama immerses herself in work, especially with Prem unavailable. Toshu warns her about the competition from two newly opened cafés nearby, but Jhanki assures them that Anu Ki Rasoi has a unique charm that cannot be rivaled. Anupama dreams of taking her business to an international level.

As the day unfolds, Anupama stumbles upon an anklet bell and begins to suspect Pakhi. Her suspicion leads her to Pakhi's room, where she uncovers more anklet bells, confirming her doubts. Furious, Anupama confronts Pakhi and demands she take responsibility for her actions. In a fit of anger, Anupama orders Pakhi to dance barefoot on the anklet bells as punishment.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Anupama takes a drastic step and throws Pakhi out of the house. Meanwhile, Rahi confronts Anupama, demanding that she repay her debt. She boldly proposes becoming a partner in Anu Ki Rasoi.
