Anupamaa: Aryan pleads for more time, but Anupama insists he reveal his drug use to all

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, Anupama encourages Mahi and Aryan to pray for happiness and emphasises the importance of keeping each other content in their new journey. Although the celebrations continue, Anupama remains inwardly concerned about Mahi's future well-being.

Elsewhere, Ishani feels disheartened as she believes her photos aren't turning out well. Noticing her mood, Raja offers to take photos with her to lift her spirits. At the same time, Mahi receives a call from Pari, while Raja proceeds with taking a selfie alongside Ishani.

Meanwhile, Pari, Ishani, and Ansh engage in a playful exchange with the Kotharis over a traditional wedding ritual. Gautam encourages the trio to ask for a hefty amount in return for Aryan's stolen shoe, stating that the Shah family won't settle for anything less. Moti Baa adds that the Shahs never miss a chance to earn. When Pari urges Ansh to hand the shoe back, he refuses, claiming the Kotharis aren't taking the game in good spirits. The trio demands ?22 lakhs. Moti Baa accuses the Shahs of plotting to move into the Kothari household. However, Parag and Khyati support their sons' choice of partners, with Raja backing Khyati's views.

Later, the Shah and Kothari families join together for a fun-filled game. Eventually, Anupama returns Aryan's shoe. Prem captures a joyful group selfie, marking the moment.

In another part of the celebration, Aryan's friends attempt to lure him into drug use. Anupama and Raghav notice Aryan from a distance. Sensing something odd, Anupama wonders if Aryan is in trouble, but Raghav downplays the situation, suggesting the boys might just be chatting. Still concerned, Anupama decides to call Aryan for the Bidaai ceremony. Meanwhile, Aryan's friends quickly stash the drugs and pressure him to give in.

As the farewell rituals approach, Anupama becomes emotional with Mahi and urges her to bring happiness to the Kothari family. Khyati reassures Anupama that Mahi will be well taken care of. Mahi then reveals her decision to visit the Shah family often. She and Pari resolve their differences and embrace warmly. Anupama performs some final rituals before the farewell.

Just then, Aryan claims he needs to visit the washroom, but he begins experiencing withdrawal. Hasmuk tells Moti Baa to treat Mahi like her own daughter. Moti Baa replies that while she will accept Mahi, the girl must also fulfil her duties as a daughter-in-law. Khyati tries to calm the tension by offering assurance to Hasmuk.

Meanwhile, Aryan is torn between staying clean and succumbing to temptation. Despite trying to resist, he eventually gives in and consumes the drugs. Anupama catches him red-handed. Stunned and heartbroken, she confronts Aryan, deeply troubled by what this means for Mahi's future. Aryan assures her he wants to quit.

Anupama grows increasingly anxious. Raghav tries to console her. On the other side, Gautam tells Prarthana that he deleted the video she recorded. He mocks Hasmuk over Vanraj's disappearance after deceiving the builders. Hasmuk retorts that Gautam should be glad Leela isn't around, she wouldn't have spared him.

Anupama, now more worried than ever about Mahi's fate, questions Aryan again. Raghav advises her to stay composed and offer Aryan a chance. Aryan begs Anupama not to expose his secret. He pleads for time to get clean, promising he'll overcome his addiction. While Anupama expresses her doubts about him managing alone, she urges him to speak the truth to his family. Aryan insists he's trying his best and fears losing both Mahi and his loved ones.

He pleads for her trust and a little more time. Anupama remains sceptical, telling him this is a battle he can't win without family support. She urges him to be honest with his loved ones.
