Anupamaa: Anupama teaches Prarthana how to be an ideal bahu after Leela's request

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, a wave of joy sweeps through the Shah household as Anupama, Hasmuk, and Leela proudly declare the upcoming wedding of Ansh and Prarthana. Prarthana is delighted to learn that her father, Parag, has finally given his approval for the marriage. Ansh expresses his heartfelt gratitude to Anupama for her unwavering support throughout their journey.

Curious and hopeful, Prarthana asks Anupama if the entire family will be present at the wedding. Meanwhile, Preet quietly confides in Sarita, doubting whether all the family members will show up for the big day. Anupama reassures Prarthana that the Kotharis have been invited but admits that not everyone may attend. Hasmuk adds that they've fulfilled their responsibility and now it's in the Kotharis' hands to decide their participation.

Looking ahead, Anupama mentions that once Ansh and Prarthana tie the knot, they will soon welcome their baby. However, Pakhi is sceptical and warns that Gautam may create hurdles in the wedding. Anupama, maintaining her positive outlook, offers her sweets and encourages her to be more optimistic. Kinjal shares her excitement and says she's genuinely happy for the couple. Leela then announces that the wedding will take place the following week.

Ansh, however, can't help but worry about Anupama's ongoing dance competition. But Anupama assures him that she will strike a balance between the wedding festivities and her dance rehearsals. While Ansh and Prarthana remain concerned, Anupama begins planning for the upcoming ceremonies with full enthusiasm.

At the Kothari household, Parag tells his family that he trusts Prarthana's choices. Meanwhile, Prem decides to attend the wedding, and Rahi takes a firm stand, stating that Gautam is wrong in rejecting the baby. Gautam, however, feels that Rahi always sides with Ansh, no matter the circumstances.

Prem is surprised that Gautam still refuses to step back despite everything that has unfolded. Khyati lashes out at Prem, accusing him of easily moving on, and brings up her past trauma to justify her anger. She indirectly taunts him for choosing to attend the wedding. Prem, however, responds with calm, advising Khyati to confront her trauma instead of using it to lash out at others. He remains firm in his decision to attend the wedding along with Pari.

Elsewhere, Anil extends his support for Ansh and Prarthana's union. Parag makes it clear that while he won't stop anyone from going to the wedding, he personally will not be a part of it. Gautam, on the other hand, takes a strong stand and declares that he won't allow the wedding to take place.

Back at the Shah house, Anupama checks in with Preet regarding the rehearsal arrangements. Preet shares some concerning news, Rahi removed their team between the ongoing rehearsals and suspects Parag has bribed the event organiser, resulting in Rahi taking over their scheduled practice slots. Pakhi tells Anupama to brace herself for more unexpected turns. Unfazed, Anupama affirms that no matter what, they will continue their practice.

Hasmuk appreciates Anupama's resilience and thanks her. Anupama, with a smile, says she is determined to enjoy every moment of Ansh's wedding.

Meanwhile, Pari takes the initiative to design Ansh's wedding attire. She also tries to persuade Rahi to attend the wedding for Ansh's sake, reminding her that their absence will hurt him deeply. Khyati interjects and insists that no one from their side will be present at the wedding, leaving Pari deeply hurt by her harsh words.

The next day begins on a serene note with Anupama, Leela, and Prarthana performing a morning ritual by offering water to the rising sun. Anupama and Leela pray for Ansh and Prarthana's happiness. Prarthana also expresses her gratitude to God for giving her Ansh and a loving family. Leela asks Anupama to teach everything to Prarthana, as she is going to be the future daughter-in-law of the house. Taking this seriously, Anupama starts guiding Prarthana and gives her simple advice on how to be a good and responsible daughter-in-law. She also explains the seven virtues mentioned in the shastras.

In the precap, Anupama gears up for the mehendi celebration of Ansh and Prarthana. As Gautam tries to interfere, Anupama boldly stands up to him and warns him to back off.
