Anupamaa: Prem quits the competition, paving the way for Rahi's win

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anupama faces a tough time as she struggles with physical pain but chooses to endure it silently. Prem, Rahi, and Mahi prepare themselves for the highly anticipated finale the following day. In another corner of the Shah household, Dolly inquires Toshu about his whereabouts. Toshu explains that he was fixing a shed that got damaged during the recent storm. Leela shares that Kaveri and Gauri narrowly escaped harm, and Rahi, who was also under the shed, adds that she is deemed fortunate for being unharmed.

Mahi becomes the centre of attention in the Shah family as she prepares for the competition, receiving an outpouring of love and blessings. Meanwhile, Leela wards off the evil eye from Mahi while Rahi watches quietly. As the Shah family prepares for the venue, Prem starts searching for Anupama, who has locked herself in a room. While she deals with her pain alone, the family grows increasingly worried as she refuses to open the door. Anupama fears that her condition might create misunderstandings. 

Anupama locks herself in a room:

Determined to keep her pain a secret, she decides against revealing her injury, especially since she believes Mahi might get distracted from the competition. Sensing Mahi's concern, Anupama reassures her that she is fine, despite her internal struggles. Pakhi, on the other hand, blames Rahi for Anupama's absence from the competition preparations. Rahi, upset by the accusations, pleads with Anupama to come along for Mahi's sake. Mahi insists that Anupama's presence is crucial for her to perform well at the event.

Anupama offers heartfelt prayers for Rahi, Mahi, and Prem, wishing them success. She feels a strong urge to support them at the competition, believing they need her encouragement. Trusting in divine intervention, she prays for the strength to join them. On their way, Leela expresses confidence in Mahi's ability to win, while Dolly speaks optimistically about both the prize money and the trophy. Their enthusiasm lifts the family's spirits. Finally, Anupama resolves to attend the competition despite her pain.

Prem's selfless sacrifice:

At the venue, Prem, Rahi, and Mahi gear up for the finale. On receiving a notification from Khalnayak, Prem reflects on his determination to win, while Rahi and Mahi vow to give it their all. As Anupamaa makes her way to the event, she struggles physically but remains resolute. Meanwhile, Rahi and Mahi wear the anklets required for their performance. Later, Rahi tells Mahi not to wait for Anupama, doubting her arrival. However, Mahi remains hopeful and confident about achieving victory. 

Observing Rahi wearing the anklet given by Anupama, Prem decides to sacrifice his chance of winning to mend the strained relationship between Rahi and Anupama. He contemplates quitting the competition to bring them closer.

On her way to the venue, Anupama meets with an accident, leaving the Shah family anxiously awaiting her arrival. At the competition, Prem intentionally harms himself to avoid participating. Meanwhile, Rahi and Mahi turn the event into a personal battle, determined to outdo each other and secure the win.

In the precap, Rahi confronts Anupama and accuses her of wrongdoing. Anupama stands her ground, stating that her silence does not equate to weakness. Rahi shocks Anupama by declaring her enmity.
