Anupamaa: Aryan decides to tell Mahi the truth about his DRUG addiction

Tonight's Anupamaa episode opens on a nostalgic note as Leela and Hasmukh reminisce about their journey of love. Hasmukh reveals that his mother had initially opposed their relationship and didn't want Leela as her daughter-in-law. In response, Leela affectionately reminds him that despite the resistance, she still became his life partner. Hasmukh fondly recalls the constant bickering between Leela and his mother, and how he often played peacemaker between the two strong-willed women. He also shares how he used to sing to win Leela's heart. Encouraged by the family, Hasmukh sings his favourite song, and soon, the entire Shah family joins Hasmukh and Leela in a joyful dance. Anupama silently prays for the Shah family's happiness and unity to last forever.

Meanwhile, Raghav brings water for Anupama. She opens up to him, expressing how deeply connected she feels to the Shah family. Despite occasional disagreements, she values their bond and prays that no one disturbs their togetherness. Raghav gently reassures her, sensing her emotional attachment.

On the other side, Aryan struggles with withdrawal symptoms and ends up consuming drugs once again. He thinks about coming clean to Mahi about his addiction. When Rahi approaches him, Aryan pretends to be suffering from food poisoning. Concerned, Rahi and Prem decide to take him to the doctor. Aryan becomes anxious, fearing the doctor might disclose the truth. Luckily, the doctor plays along and confirms food poisoning as the diagnosis. Once alone, the doctor advises Aryan to quit drugs for the sake of his health and those around him. Aryan requests the doctor to keep his condition confidential until he is ready to fully recover.

In another part of town, Meeta meets with a minor accident, and Moti Baa expresses strong disapproval regarding the wedding proceedings. However, Parag and Khyati remain determined to move forward with the preparations. Meeta, meanwhile, jokes with Anil that Khyati will outshine everyone with her excitement.

As Aryan's condition worries Rahi and Prem, the doctor's cover story gives them temporary relief. Aryan thanks the doctor for his help while trying to mentally prepare himself to quit drugs once and for all.

Later, Anupama visits the Kothari residence accompanied by Kinjal and Toshu. Moti Baa questions their presence. Anupama politely informs her that they've come to return the money Kinjal had taken from the company. Moti Baa sarcastically suggests donating the money or using it for Mahi's wedding instead. Gautam takes charge of counting the cash, and Moti Baa insists he tally it carefully. Kinjal feels overwhelmed with guilt, knowing that Anupama is being blamed for her mistake.

A confrontation soon brews between Anupama and Moti Baa. Anupama defends Kinjal, asserting that while she may have erred, she is far from being a criminal. She also reveals that Kinjal and Raghav successfully secured a three-year deal for Anu Ki Rasoi, proving their sincerity. Moti Baa remains unconvinced, accusing Anupama of supporting wrongdoers. However, Anupama stands firm, backing both Kinjal and Raghav.

At the same time, Raghav finds himself lost in thought about Anupama, unsure about the emotions he's developing for her. Moti Baa throws another taunt, asking Anupama if she plans to walk around with Raghav during the wedding functions. Anupama calmly explains the nature of her friendship with Raghav, while Moti Baa criticises her for it.

After deep introspection, Aryan decides to turn over a new leaf and leave his drug use behind. Raghav, still wrestling with his emotions, plans to speak with Anupama. Just then, he runs into her. Meanwhile, Moti Baa instructs Rahi to make Anupama understand her place, warning that Raghav could one day take Anuj's position in her life. Prem urges her to stop, but Moti Baa insists her words will prove true. Rahi firmly believes that Anupama and Raghav can never be more than friends.

Later, Anupama asks Raghav if he has something to say, but he avoids the topic and gives a vague response.
