Anupamaa: Digvijay is falling for Anu? Secretly admires her, later saves her from falling

Tonight's Anupamaa episode opens with Gautam expressing his shock over Prerna leaving the house. Vasundhara says Shruti did the right thing by exposing everything on time and adds that she never trusted Prerna from the beginning. Taking a dig at her family background, Vasundhara remarks that Prerna has proved she is exactly like her mother. However, Rahi refuses to believe that Prerna could betray them. Vasundhara immediately shuts her down and asks her to keep such thoughts to herself. Shruti recalls seeing Prerna around Ansh and Anupama several times and regrets ignoring her instincts earlier. Prem also loses his temper and blames Prerna for everything. Khyati questions Prem and asks him what he will achieve by continuously targeting Anupama. Vasundhara warns Khyati to stop defending Anupama and even tells her to shift to the Shah house if she wishes to support her so much. Anil stands by Khyati, but Prem asks both of them to stop mentioning Anupama’s name. He declares that now he clearly knows who actually supports him. Rahi then reminds Prem that he should at least speak respectfully with Khyati.

On the other side, Anupama notices Digvijay in the kitchen trying to cook something on his own. She joins him and helps him prepare the food. During their conversation, Digvijay asks about Prerna, and Anupama informs him that Prerna is resting. Digvijay worries that Anupama’s emotional attachments may one day become her weakness. Anupama replies by comparing her situation to the Mahabharat, saying that even great wars were not stopped because of relationships, but principles should never be sacrificed. She firmly says she will not compromise anymore. Later, Anupama notices a stain on Digvijay’s face, making both of them laugh together. Digvijay quietly admires Anupama while she smiles.

Digvijay further asks Anupama why she is still awake so late at night. Anupama says she is carrying a dream in her heart, and that dream is not letting her sleep peacefully. Meanwhile, Prem secretly thinks about removing Anupama’s entry form from the food carnival competition. However, his inner conscience questions his actions and makes him realize he is betraying Anupama unfairly. Prem becomes frustrated and argues with himself mentally. His conscience points out that he is insecure about his own abilities, which is why he wants to stop Anupama from participating. Prem angrily insists that he is not a bad person. He says Anupama betrayed him first and swears that he will never allow her café to compete in the carnival. He decides that he will defeat Anupama at any cost.

At the same time, Anupama prays for both Prem and Rahi despite everything happening between them. She thinks about the upcoming competition where they will stand against each other. Anupama asks God to support the person who truly deserves victory. Early in the morning, Hasmuk feels happy seeing Anupama awake and active so early in the day.

Elsewhere, Ishani informs Anupama about Prerna’s deteriorating condition. At the Kothari house, happiness spreads after Vasundhara learns that Pari is pregnant. Raja becomes emotional and excited about becoming a father. Vasundhara gifts Pari a necklace and asks her to pray for the well-being of the child. Meeta expresses her wish that Raja and Pari should be blessed with a baby boy, leaving Anil uncomfortable as he asks Raja to ignore such comments. Vasundhara tells Pari that from now on she must take care of herself and focus completely on motherhood. She promises to shower Pari with every happiness. Meanwhile, Gautam becomes tense thinking that with more children entering the family, his own importance and Pranshi’s future may get affected.

Back at the Shah house, Anupama grows increasingly worried for Prerna. Digvijay checks her condition and reveals that her pulse feels weak. Ansh quickly rushes Prerna to the doctor for treatment. During this chaos, Anupama finds a letter written by Prerna. Furious after reading it, Anupama lashes out at Prem and Rahi for wrongly accusing Prerna. Rahi explains that they believed Prerna was stealing their business ideas and secretly sharing them with Anupama. Anupama reminds them that the recipes in question were originally taught by her only. She questions how they could think she would steal her own creations. She strongly scolds both Prem and Rahi and warns them that she will never forgive them if something serious happens to Prerna. Hearing this, Prem and Rahi begin to feel guilty and worried.

Later, Anupama safely brings Prerna back home. Prem and Rahi decide to meet her and apologise, but Shruti stops them midway. She once again manipulates them against Prerna and convinces them to stay away from her. Anupama notices Shruti influencing Prem and Rahi. Shruti advises them to concentrate only on their work, and Prem agrees with her decision. Meanwhile, Leela lovingly asks Prerna about her health and condition.

Anupama then sits with Prerna and tries to rebuild her confidence. She emotionally explains that attempting suicide is never the solution and also reminds her that it is legally punishable. Anupama motivates Prerna to leave the past behind and face life with courage instead of giving up. Prerna breaks down in tears while Anupama consoles her with care. Towards the end, Anupama asks Digvijay to support Prerna during this difficult phase.

In the precap, Digvijay saves Anupama from falling down. Later, Hasmuk invites Digvijay for tea, and the three of them spend some cheerful moments together. However, Leela gets disturbed after seeing Anupama bonding closely with Digvijay.
