Anupamaa: Anupamaa stands as Raghav's shield as angry mob attacks him

Star Plus' Anupamaa has introduced several new characters following its generational leap. After the Kothari family's entry, the show recently welcomed Raghav, a jail inmate with a mysterious connection to Anupama and Rahi that is yet to be revealed. Meanwhile, Mohit, portrayed by Randeep Rai, has entered the show and shares a connection with Khyati and Prem.

In the upcoming episode of Anupamaa, preparations for the Navratri celebrations take centre stage as the Shah family comes together for the festive puja. While the house is filled with devotion and joy, Raghav remains alone at his home, consumed by fear. His worst nightmares soon turn into reality when the neighbourhood learns of his presence.

As he steps to quench his thirst, he reaches for a pot of water, but before he can drink, the situation takes a violent turn. The neighbours begin pelting stones, shattering the pot and forcing him to retreat. The hostility escalates as some individuals start throwing garbage and waste inside his house, attempting to drive him out. Overwhelmed by fear, Raghav finally steps outside, only to be met with brutal aggression. The crowd begins attacking him, hurling insults and physically assaulting him, determined to punish him for returning to their locality.

Meanwhile, the puja continues at the Shah household, unaware of the chaos unfolding. As the mob's fury intensifies, Raghav desperately tries to escape but is relentlessly pursued. He stumbles over a cart and falls, with the enraged crowd closing in, ready to strike him with sticks. Just as they are about to land the first blow, Anupama arrives and intervenes fearlessly. Channelling her inner strength, she stops the attackers, grabbing hold of their sticks and standing firm in front of Raghav.

The commotion draws the Shah family to the scene, where they witness the intense standoff. The enraged neighbours justify their actions, branding Raghav, a murderer and questioning why Anupama is protecting him. Undeterred, she challenges their authority, reminding them that justice has already been served and that no one has the right to take the law into their own hands. Standing like a shield, she refuses to let anyone harm him, determined to uphold what is right despite the hostility around her.
