Anupamaa: Anupama loses as Rahi defeats her and enters the finale

In Star Plus' Anupamaa, the much-awaited face-off between Anupama and her daughter Rahi finally takes place at a dance competition. Although they had met earlier, where Rahi had asked Anupama to stay away from her and Anupama had agreed with a heavy heart, destiny brings them back together through this competition. Anupama is participating to arrange money for Bharti’s operation, while for Rahi, winning this competition is a dream she holds for Anju’s Dance Academy. Neither knew the other was part of the event, but in the recent semi-final round, they unexpectedly come face to face, reopening old wounds. The encounter not only affects Rahi but also leaves the Shah and Kothari families furious, thinking Anupama joined the competition deliberately to seek revenge.

In the upcoming episode of Anupamaa, despite everything that has happened, Anupama decides to perform with her team. Though emotionally shattered, she gathers herself and gets ready for her performance. She begins dancing on stage with her group, and things go well at first.

But as soon as Rahi enters and Anupama spots her, she gets distracted. Seeing Rahi staring at her with anger, Anupama begins to make mistakes during her performance.

Eventually, Anupama is unable to continue and freezes in shock, stopping in the middle of the dance. Everyone, including the judges, is confused by her sudden pause. Preet loses her temper, grabs Anupama’s hand, and angrily confronts her for ruining everything.

Later, during the announcement of the finalists, the hosts first reveal that the team Josh Unlimited has made it to the finals. They then announce Anuj Dance Academy, led by Rahi and her team, as the second group entering the finale. Rahi and her teammates celebrate with joy upon hearing their name.

Meanwhile, Anupama and her team arrive on stage looking visibly upset.

Audience members start whispering that Anupama might have deliberately lost the round to let her daughter win, which shocks everyone present.

Rahi responds by saying that her team performed very well and that’s why the judges selected them.

But she also adds that more than winning, she feels proud that she managed to defeat Anupama.

With the finale now set to be a face-off between Anupama and Rahi, it will be interesting to see how this clash unfolds.
