Anupamaa: Anupama senses a change in Mahi's behaviour

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, Anupama explains that Pakhi was the reason Rahi missed her chance to succeed, justifying her decision to entrust Rahi with the business opportunity. She warns Rahi not to misuse the opportunity and emphasises the need for professionalism. Anupama reminds Rahi that while they are equal partners, her experience makes her the senior partner, and Rahi must listen and learn before suggesting ideas. Rahi questions how Anupama can claim seniority if their partnership is equal. Anupama responds that experience matters in leadership and reassures Rahi that her input will be considered when appropriate.

Later, Rahi pulls Toshu aside to have a private discussion. Meanwhile, Jhanki advises Anupama to confront Rahi more directly, but Anupama insists on waiting for the right moment. Elsewhere, Pari is under pressure while working on her new design. Prem assists her and casually mentions his fondness for the colour orange. Overhearing this, Mahi becomes intrigued. Pari teases Prem, asking if his preference for vibrant colours is linked to being in love.

Rahi discusses business strategies with Toshu, encouraging him to focus on expanding Anu Ki Rasoi. Toshu shares his frustrations about feeling undervalued by Anupama. Rahi suggests a new approach to improve profits. Pakhi questions Rahi's motives, but Rahi tries to persuade the Shah family to consider her ideas for better growth. She advises them to take their time before making a decision.

On a different note, Pari asks Rahi to model for her designs, but Rahi hesitates and suggests involving Ishani instead. Despite Rahi's reluctance, Pari convinces her to participate. Mahi searches for an orange dress, and later, Pari helps Rahi prepare for the task. During this, Rahi accidentally bumps into Prem, leading to a moment of silent connection between the two. Mahi and Anupama witness Prem and Rahi's closeness, leaving them shocked.

Mahi lashes out at Rahi for her clumsiness, which surprises Anupama. Rahi defends herself, but the situation escalates into an argument between the two. Anupama intervenes, urging them to stop fighting. Prem, however, seems captivated by Rahi during the chaos.

Later, Anupama confides in Jhanki about Mahi's behaviour, suspecting a change in her. Jhanki agrees that Mahi has been acting differently. Meanwhile, Toshu manages business clients but appears distracted. Kinjal observes his lack of focus and grows concerned, suspecting that it might not be Toshu but Rahi who could take advantage of the situation. She advises him to be more cautious.

At the same time, Rahi discusses the details of the food preparation with Jhanki. Upon learning that they use plastic containers, she suggests switching to steel tiffins for daily customers to modernise operations and reduce plastic usage. Her idea earns praise from Jhanki for its thoughtfulness and practicality.

Meanwhile, watching her from a distance, Prem expresses his admiration for Rahi but becomes visibly upset upon noticing Khalnayak's name. When Mahi questions his reaction, Prem compliments her appearance in an orange dress, which inspires Mahi to gather the courage to confess her love. However, Rahi interrupts their conversation, leaving Mahi frustrated.

Towards the end of the episode, Prem expresses falling for Rahi while talking to Kaveri, but Rahi insists on accompanying him to the market, leaving Prem visibly excited.
