Tonight’s Anupamaa episode begins with Paritosh noticing Pakhi in tears and questioning her about it. Pakhi admits that Rahi has become obsessive about winning the competition and wonders how she will react if defeat comes her way.
Pakhi then shares her fear that once Meeta discovers she sold the product outside, she might lose her job. Paritosh taunts her, saying everyone already knows she has a habit of stealing. In return, Pakhi hits back, reminding him of his secret dealings with utensils. Despite her worry about the competition, Paritosh tells her that challenging Anupama will be nearly impossible.
Gautam’s plot against Anupama:
Determined to keep herself ahead, Pakhi starts plotting ways to stop Anupama from participating in the contest. Elsewhere, Gautam’s anger toward Anupama intensifies. He swears that before the competition takes place, he will ruin both Anupama and Prarthana to satisfy his desire for revenge.
Later, Anupama announces her decision to organise the Mangla Gauri Puja. While Leela points out that this ritual is traditionally a Marathi celebration, Anupama emphasises that divinity is universal and explains the significance of this puja, especially for newly married women. Dipa adds that it holds a special place in Maharashtrian households. Bharti curiously asks whether Rahi, Mahi, and Pari would also attend. Anupama replies that she invited Pari but isn’t sure of their arrival. Eventually, the trio does arrive, though Leela observes Rahi’s displeasure. Rahi openly declares she is present only because it is a puja and otherwise would never have attended or permitted others to come. Amidst the event, Anupama asks Anuj to remain close to her.
Rahi Vs Anupama
Meanwhile, Parag notices Gautam lurking in his room and becomes suspicious. Gautam, however, remains consumed with hatred and vows to bring Anupama down, counting the days until her downfall.
At the puja, Anupama, along with the Dance Ranis, carries out the rituals, followed by dancing and merriment. Jignesh expresses his wish to join the women in watching the puja, but Hasmuk reminds him that it is strictly for women. Jignesh childishly insists he wants to play hide-and-seek, but then forgets what he was saying.
During a fun game that follows, Anupama and Rahi end up as partners. Rahi bitterly remarks that she must bear with Anupama until the competition finale. Anupama advises her not to speak in absolutes, reminding her that everyone eventually surrenders before the power of God and that one day, Rahi might turn to her for help. Rahi furiously retorts that even if she dies, she will never come to ask for Anupama’s help.
Precap for the next episode:
In the precap, Pakhi is seen injuring Anita. Preet accuses her of intentionally targeting their team member. Rahi comments that misfortune seems to be chasing the Dance Ranis. Preet confronts her, saying Pakhi deliberately planned it and adds that Rahi herself didn’t need to conspire since Parag was already negotiating with Anupama to secure her win. Rahi is left stunned at the revelation.
