Anupamaa: Anu faces another major tragedy as she risks her life to save Rahi

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Rajini expresses her happiness about how Anupama has brought a new energy to the chawl. Anupama tells her that a mother can go to any extent for her children, though deep down she is anxious about Ishani and Pari. Both women share a moment and repeat the saying, "Necessity is the mother of invention." Nearby, the lightmen secretly discuss ruining Anupama's event in exchange for money, and Anupama notices something odd about their behaviour.

Vasundhara Worried About Parag’s Meeting With Rajini

Khyati observes Vasundhara skipping tea and asks her about it. Vasundhara is uneasy because Parag has gone to meet Rajini. She mentions that although Parag didn't speak much, she could sense his discomfort in his eyes. Khyati is surprised and wonders what is bothering Vasundhara so much. Meanwhile, Anupama and Rajini continue planning their event.

Varun arrives unexpectedly to surprise Rajini. She introduces him to Anupama, and Bharti is instantly taken aback by his good looks. When Rajini asks the reason behind his visit, Varun explains that he needs her car. Rajini agrees but warns him not to drive fast, knowing his habits. He assures her he will be careful. Preet teases Bharti by calling Varun "eye candy," but Bharti quickly asks her to focus on the work ahead. Even though everything looks ready, Anupama still feels a wave of nervousness.

Raja and Mahi Support Pari’s Participation

Elsewhere, Raja finds out about Pari participating in the event. Mahi and Gautam talk about it and feel that Anupama may have always dreamed of seeing Ishani and Pari walk the ramp. Raja shows support for Pari. Mahi suggests that Prem and Rahi might have been aware of all this beforehand, which is why they left early. When Anil questions the issue with the fashion show, Vasundhara calls Anupama shameless for putting Rahi in the spotlight. She decides she will speak to Parag and convince him to pull Rahi out of studies and bring Prem into the business. Gautam gets worried and asks her to give Parag some peace, explaining that he is already under pressure. But Vasundhara cannot stop thinking about him.

Meanwhile, the Dance Ranis get busy preparing for the evening. Anupama accidentally collides with Kritika, who apologises and asks if she can assist her. Anupama considers handing over the hosting duties to Kritika and discusses it with the Dance Ranis. Kritika instructs her team to be punctual and ready. Anupama motivates everyone as they begin to feel tense. Pari and Ishani also tell her that they are nervous. Anupama asks them to stay positive and assures them that they will do well.

Parag Struggles With His Past Reappearing

As the event nears, Parag becomes more disturbed by thoughts of Rajini. Khyati notices his restlessness and questions him. Parag admits Rajini is on his mind, but decides he cannot allow his past to interfere with his present life.

On the other hand, Prem tells Rahi that a friend from the US has returned and wants to meet him. Prem explains that he does not want to miss Rahi's performance, but Rahi urges him to go, saying the meeting could be important for his business. After some hesitation, Prem agrees because Rahi insists. The event finally kicks off, and Anupama prays for everything to go smoothly. She is then invited onto the stage as the show begins.

Precap for the Next Episode

In the upcoming episode, Anupama walks the ramp with confidence and wins everyone over. She then delivers a heartfelt message about how a homemaker can create endless possibilities through her imagination and how old items can be transformed into something new. Her words strike a chord with the crowd, and even Rajini applauds her.

The Dance Ranis take center stage next, showcasing their outfits made entirely from reused materials. Once their segment ends, Anupama invites the showstopper, Rahi, to come forward. The moment Rahi begins her ramp walk, Kritika quietly signals her team to initiate their plan. As part of their setup, a decorative piece is tampered with and starts to collapse right above Rahi. Anupama spots the danger at the last second. She races toward Rahi and pushes her out of harm’s way. The heavy structure crashes down, leaving everyone stunned and unsure whether Anupama is safe or injured.
