Anupamaa: Ishani taunts Mahi about losing importance once Adhya returns

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, after rescuing Prem from drowning, Rahi (Adhya) urges him to stand up. She confronts him about almost drowning in the water. Despite Prem hugging her, Rahi insists that he should stay away from her. After that, she successfully helps him reach the shore safely. Meanwhile, as the Shah family prepares for the pooja, Leela notices Dolly's absence. Kinjal seems restless as she relentlessly keeps checking her phone.

Elsewhere, Dolly is searching for clues about Adhya. She convinces herself that Adhya is no longer alive and expresses that she doesn't want Adhya to return. Leela encourages Dolly to join the pooja. As she joins in, still thinking about Adhya's possible return, she accidentally bumps into Anupama, prompting Anupama to check on her. Dolly responds, assuring Anupama that nothing will happen to her. Anupama then reassures Dolly that if she hasn't done anything wrong, there's nothing to fear. The Shah family continues with the prayer, while Kinjal, after receiving a message, steps outside the house. Shortly after, the police arrive at the Shah household with news about Adhya.

Anupama is determined to travel to Dwarka:

Rahi questions Prem's friends about why they didn't jump in to rescue him from the water. She later engages in a conversation with Prem, who reveals his name. Rahi teases Prem for being old-fashioned, but Prem confidently shares that he believes in love.

Meanwhile, the police inform Anupama that they have found Adhya in Gujarat, involved in some wrongdoing. Anupama is shocked by the news but, after viewing the footage, she insists that the girl in the video is not Adhya. Leela suggests that Anupama stop looking for Adhya, while Dolly insists that Adhya is no longer alive. However, Anupama sternly warns both Dolly and the rest of the family not to lose faith in her hope. Hasmuk offers comfort to Anupama, who remains determined to travel to Dwarka to find Adhya.

Ishani taunts Mahi:

Rahi tells Bubble that this year's Navratri holds special significance. Bubble teases her, saying it's because she met a handsome guy. Later, Rahi feels uneasy upon seeing a police officer. She finds some prayer money that belongs to Anupama and resolves to locate Prem to return it.

Kinjal eventually comes back home, and Toshu questions her. She brings makeup as a gift for Ishani, but Pakhi informs her that Ishani isn't home. Kinjal makes a snide remark, stating that Ishani is unlike Pari, who only eats. Dolly is visibly anxious, and Toshu questions her about her fear.

Mahi, Pari, and Ansh are enjoying some quality time together when Ishani returns home. Ansh invites her to join them for Dandiya the next day, but she declines, citing her lack of interest in attending the event, especially with the typical Guju Bollywood songs and the desi crowd. During their chat, Ansh unintentionally brings up memories of his childhood and Adhya, expressing how much he misses her. Mahi and Pari secretly hope for Adhya’s return, but Ishani advises Mahi not to, warning that she would face problems if Adhya came back. She adds, "Sabse pehle tumhara pata katna hain," and points out that Adhya is Anupama's daughter, implying Mahi's position would be threatened. After making these remarks, Ishani leaves, leaving Mahi upset. Ansh suggests Mahi ignore Ishani's harsh comments, to which she agrees, but as Ansh and Pari continue their conversation, Mahi remains troubled by Ishani’s words.

Anupama contacts Adhya:

Anupama is thrilled about her upcoming trip to Dwarka, though the Shah family disapproves. Ansh suggests Anupama stay at an orphanage since they need financial assistance, even providing her with the orphanage's contact information. Anupama contacts the orphanage, unaware that Adhya is on the other side of the call. She struggles to hear Adhya's voice but eels a familiar sense of connection. Just then, a child at the orphanage starts crying, prompting Adhya to leave and assist. In her absence, another man takes over the call. Anupama expresses her wish to stay at their ashram, and the man asks her to provide details about her arrival time so he can arrange for someone to pick her up. Anupama agrees and promises to share the necessary information.

Precap for the next episode:
