Anupamaa: Anu squashes Prem's demand, refuses to let Digvijay apologise to him

Tonight's Anupamaa episode starts with Digvijay noticing Anupama's concern and asking if there is an issue with the account. Anupama hesitates to reveal the problem. Meanwhile, Digvijay hands over the café's profit share to her. Anupama initially refuses to accept the money, but Digvijay reminds her that if he were ever in need, she would support him without hesitation. He encourages her to share both the responsibilities and rewards of the café and the upcoming wedding preparations. Eventually, Anupama agrees to keep the money. Digvijay then asks her to focus on enjoying Ansh's wedding celebrations.

Later, Anupama discusses the cooking competition with Digvijay. She says that if they win, the prize money can help solve several problems. She talks about helping Digvijay recover his house, securing Banku's education, and buying gifts for Ansh and Prerna. Digvijay then asks Anupama about her own wishes. When he mentions her dream house, Anupama says she still hopes to build a home of her own someday. Digvijay reassures her that her dream will come true.

Elsewhere, Prerna tells herself that she will not get shy. Ansh has planned a surprise for her, and the two share a sweet romantic moment together. Ansh thanks Prerna, explaining that Anupama taught him the importance of gratitude in every relationship. His heartfelt words leave Prerna emotional. As they express their feelings for each other, they openly confess their love.

At the Shah house, Leela secretly asks the pandit to check the wedding dates once again. The pandit reminds her that the coming week is already considered highly auspicious. Leela admits that she wants to stop the wedding from taking place. Hasmuk overhears the conversation and firmly opposes her plan. He asks the pandit to continue preparing dates for the upcoming ceremonies. At the same time, Hasmuk worries about the growing distance between Anupama and her family members.

Ansh later requests a favour from Prerna. Nervous while speaking, he asks her to never hurt Anupama, whether intentionally or unintentionally. He tells her how much Anupama has sacrificed for him and says that his biggest wish is to see her happy. Prerna appreciates his honesty and promises that she will always respect and care for Anupama. Ansh also assures her that their friendship will remain strong. The couple then shares a romantic dance.

Meanwhile, Pari arrives with exciting news about Ansh and Prerna's wedding. While Anil and Khyati are pleased, Meeta questions Pari's enthusiasm and reminds her that she is pregnant. Pari replies that staying happy and being around loved ones is important for her during this phase. She says Raja will take care of her and announces her decision to attend the wedding functions. Vasundhara, however, criticizes Anupama and blames her for fixing the alliance. Prem feels that Ansh is not the right match for Prerna, while Gautam worries that Ansh's presence may affect property-related matters. Despite the opposition, Pari remains firm about attending the wedding and asks Rahi if she will join her.

On the competition front, Anupama focuses on her preparations. While sharpening her knives, she remains determined to give her best. Shruti mocks Prem for purchasing expensive imported knives to gain an advantage. Anupama says victory will not come through costly equipment but through good food and winning people's hearts. Shruti points out that Anupama is occupied with wedding responsibilities and may struggle to prepare properly. Taking advantage of the situation, Prem becomes even more determined to defeat her in the competition.

In the precap, Anupama invites the Kothari family to Ansh's wedding. Prem sets a condition and demands that Digvijay apologize before they attend. Anupama refuses to accept his demand. Meanwhile, Leela worries about conducting the wedding rituals without the entire family present. As Anupama waits for Digvijay, Banku informs her that he has gone to bring sweets. Elsewhere, Prem confronts Digvijay as soon as he arrives.
