In tonight’s episode of Anupamaa, the day begins with Anupama realising she’s running late. Sarita informs her that train services have been suspended due to heavy rains and urges her to board the bus instead. This unexpected update leaves Anupama surprised. Meanwhile, at Manohar’s place, Pari encourages Rahi to make the most of her time in Mumbai instead of just waiting around. Rahi seeks permission from Manohar, who tells them to go ahead, as he doesn’t feel like conducting a dance session without Anupama.
Later, Anupama finally reaches Manohar’s place. He hands over Rahi’s forgotten purse to her and asks her to return it. However, Anupama is unable to catch up with Rahi. On the other hand, Rahi vents to Pari, expressing her discomfort with visiting Mumbai. Pari suspects Rahi’s dislike for the city stems from her unresolved issues with Anupama.
Manohar advises Anupama to keep the purse safe, hoping Rahi might return for it. Meanwhile, Rahi finds out that one of Manohar’s students is participating in the upcoming dance competition and motivates Pari to practice harder so they can outperform the contestant. Pari reassures her with confidence. Soon after, Rahi realises that her purse is missing. Once again, Anupama and Rahi narrowly miss running into each other. Manohar believes destiny will bring them together when the time is right, while Rahi says she’ll meet the student some other time. Anupama, feeling guilty about her delay, is comforted by Manohar, who assures her that her reunion with Rahi will be memorable.
Elsewhere, Parag updates Prem, Gautam, and Anil on the new construction plans. Prem appears distracted and concerned about both Rahi and Anupama. Parag, however, reassures him, stating that Rahi can handle herself. Back with Manohar, he tells Anupama that he received a call from an orphanage requesting dance lessons. He asks Anupama to assist him, which reminds her of Rahi.
An intense confrontation unfolds as Sarita accuses Anupama of physically assaulting her husband and questions how she dared to lay a hand on him. Anupama tries to justify her actions, explaining that she couldn’t stand by and watch Sarita being abused. However, Sarita refuses to accept her explanation and argues that what happens between her and her husband is none of Anupama’s business. She takes offense at Anupama’s intervention in her personal matters. Preet defends Anupama, explaining she only tried to help. But Sarita becomes furious, defending her husband’s abusive behaviour and resenting Anupama’s interference. Deeply hurt by Sarita’s words, Anupama gives her a strong message about standing up for her dignity. Offended, Sarita announces that she’s quitting the Dance Ranis team, leaving everyone—including Bharti, Rita, Deepa, and Preet—shocked.
Meanwhile, Toshu gives Ansh some money and asks Pakhi to contribute as well. Pakhi expresses confidence about winning the dance competition, but Toshu casts doubt on their chances. She blames Pari for the potential loss, which sparks an argument between him and Pakhi. Back at the Shah house, Leela reflects on Anupama’s absence, admitting that while living with her had challenges, living without her is even harder.
As tensions rise, Anupama pleads with Sarita not to leave the group, saying the team shouldn’t suffer for one person’s ego. Sarita remains unmoved. Preet, frustrated by Sarita’s attitude, tells her to leave if she wants to. The rest of the women grow anxious over having to find a new team member. Bharti proposes that Anupama should replace Sarita in the competition. Preet agrees, and the others begin to accept the idea.
Meanwhile, Rahi and Pari arrive at the orphanage, where Rahi gets emotional thinking about Anuj. Coincidentally, Anupama and Manohar also visit the same orphanage. As Anupama waits hopefully, she wonders when her long-awaited reunion with Rahi will finally happen.
