Anupamaa: Along with Anupama, Leela and Ansh also end up in jail

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anupama receives an unexpected call from the film set and rushes there, only to be told by Mukesh that several crew members allegedly fell sick after eating the food she prepared. The accusation leaves her stunned.

She quickly informs Preet and the Dance Ranis about what happened. Preet questions how Mukesh can point fingers at Anupama when the shoot didn't even take place that day, and she is confident there's been some mix-up. Bharti also stands by Anupama and refuses to believe that she could be responsible.

Ansh and Leela Celebrate Their New Venture

Meanwhile, Mahi notices Rahi studying and asks Khyati if she is upset with her. Mahi reveals she is making turmeric milk for Gautam. When she gets a phone call, she tells Khyati to keep an eye on the milk. But just then, Prarthana calls Khyati, so she asks Rahi to check the stove. Rahi doesn't hear her properly and steps out of the kitchen, too.

On the other side, Ansh happily tells Leela that he has delivered the boxes and samples exactly where they needed to go. Leela feels thrilled about starting her new business venture, and the entire Shah family encourages her. At the same time, Gautam secretly plots to sabotage Leela and Ansh's efforts.

A Small Kitchen Mistake Turns Into a Major Argument

Back in the kitchen, the milk ends up burning. When Mahi sees this, she blames Khyati immediately. Both Khyati and Rahi are taken aback. Khyati explains that Prarthana had called her away. Vasundhara sides with Mahi, claiming that Khyati isn't focused on the household chores anymore. Rahi steps in and takes the blame upon herself.

But Mahi continues scolding Rahi, insisting the house could have caught fire. Rahi defends herself, saying she is capable of balancing both her studies and housework. Mahi argues she can't manage even one properly. Vasundhara then reprimands both Rahi and Khyati. Meanwhile, Anupama continues to feel tense about the false accusation and is convinced that nothing she made could have caused any harm.

Prem Advises Rahi to Focus on Herself

Elsewhere, Prem asks Rahi about her first day of class. She shares how Vasundhara's friends created unnecessary problems. Prem assures her that he will speak to Vasundhara. But before he can say anything, Vasundhara tells him she wants to talk as well. She scolds Rahi, claiming that instead of complaining to Prem, she should at least have offered him a glass of water.

When Prem tries to explain, she shuts him down, saying he isn't in a position to question her. She warns both of them not to overstep. Prem then advises Rahi to stop trying to be everyone's saviour and think about her own life. He also tells her he has received a new catering order. Rahi wants to inform the Kotharis, but Prem tells her not to share the news with anyone, fearing they won't understand. Rahi agrees and surprises him with a chef's cap and apron to celebrate the moment.

Tension Rises as the Director Blames Anupama

At the shoot location, the director lashes out at Anupama. He accuses her of serving food that made several technicians and cast members sick, forcing him to halt production, a rare situation in Mumbai's film industry. Anupama calmly explains that she didn't cook or distribute food that day. But the director refuses to listen. He threatens that she must either pay for the losses or face jail time. He even fires Jaspreet, claiming her association with Anupama has caused trouble. He orders his team to circulate a video of Anupama so that no one hires her in the future.

Anupama is devastated when she learns Jaspreet also lost her job because of this misunderstanding. However, a few fans believe Anupama was performing and compliment how realistic she appeared. Ishani steps in and supports her.

Pari Stays Back in Mumbai for a New Opportunity

Meanwhile, Paritosh asks Pari why she still hasn't reached Ahmedabad. Pari reveals she has decided to stay in Mumbai after receiving a job offer in costume design. She feels excited about this opportunity. Paritosh thinks about how much Anupama has influenced Pari in such a short period of time.

Preet and Bharti continue comforting Anupama, telling her not to panic and reminding her that the truth will come out eventually. Anupama is still shaken, fearing that innocent people might lose their income because of her.
