Anupamaa: Digvijay mistaken as Anu’s husband; guests call them the best jodi

Tonight's Anupamaa episode opens with Ansh questioning Anupama about why she has come upstairs. Anupama explains that she wants to spread out spices on the terrace since they dry better in sunlight. Ansh warmly offers her some water. At that moment, Leela makes a sharp remark, asking Anupama to keep aside a handful of water for her as well, saying she would rather die. She then lashes out at Anupama, accusing her of being seen with a different man every time and drawing attention. Leela insists that society follows certain norms, and according to her, Anupama repeatedly crosses those boundaries. Hasmuk steps in to support Anupama, pointing out that the family loses respect when Leela creates a scene loudly enough for outsiders to hear. Soon, Ishani, Mahi, Ansh, Kinjal, and Hasmuk take Anupama away from the heated situation, while Leela continues to call out Digvijay’s name.

Later, Anupama calmly clarifies that her bond with Digvijay is rooted in respect and friendship. She firmly states that she does not care about gossip or judgment from others. Her priority, she says, is launching her café, and she is determined not to let anything or anyone come in the way of that goal.

Prem arrives at Anupama’s house and seeks her blessings. Hasmuk asks if everything is alright since Prem came without informing anyone. Prem reassures him that all is well and acknowledges Anupama’s hard work as she prepares for her café launch, including planning a fresh menu. However, his tone soon shifts as he warns her that the competition will be intense.

When Pakhi asks what he means, Prem reveals that he is also opening a new café. He declares that just as Anupama took away his happiness, he will now take away her success. Prem openly admits that he wants to ruin her and accuses her of showing no remorse after his café shut down. Paritosh comments to Pakhi that the face-off between Anupama and Prem will be worth watching. Meanwhile, Ansh remains confused by Prem’s statements. Surprisingly, Anupama reacts positively, expressing happiness about Prem’s new venture. Paritosh, however, wonders how Prem managed to get his license again.

In another moment, Anupama and Hasmuk talk about Leela’s birthday. Hasmuk shares that Leela stopped celebrating after Vanraj left. Anupama encourages him not to let such moments slip away and suggests celebrating before time passes. Hasmuk recalls how he used to bring flowers and garlands for Leela on her special day. Anupama becomes enthusiastic about organizing a celebration this time, and Hasmuk agrees, getting ready for it. Anupama suggests inviting Leela’s friends as well, though she feels emotional remembering Rahi and Prem. Hasmuk remarks that even if they are invited, they may not attend.

Elsewhere, Rahi confides in Shruti that Prem has changed completely after his dreams were shattered. She explains that he once believed in working hard to achieve his goals, but now he is driven only by revenge. Rahi feels that a fresh start cannot be built on bitterness. Meanwhile, Jaya asks Hasmuk to repair her toy, but during the process, his spectacles break. Digvijay offers to get them fixed. Hasmuk invites Digvijay to Leela’s birthday celebration, but Digvijay politely declines, saying he wants to avoid creating any tension. Jaya then asks him to bring her books and colors. Hasmuk remarks that one does not need glasses to see Digvijay’s goodness and wonders why Leela fails to recognize it.

Back with Rahi and Shruti, Rahi insists that Prem should let go of revenge and move forward in life. Shruti, however, argues that if revenge gives him peace, he should not abandon it. She praises Rahi for being a good daughter and says it is now time for her to fully stand by Prem as his wife. Shruti also plans to take both Rahi and Prem to their new café location once the paperwork is completed.

Meanwhile, Leela reflects on how her birthdays no longer feel special. She expresses concern that Anupama’s presence often brings complications and hopes that this time there will be no drama. On the other hand, Ansh, Ishani, Mahi, and Kinjal pretend to visit Anupama casually, while actually planning a surprise for Leela’s birthday.

In the market, Digvijay struggles while buying bottle gourd. Rahi steps in to help him and even pays for the purchase. She shares sweets with him, mentioning that her husband’s new café is about to open. Unaware of her identity, Digvijay blesses her wholeheartedly.

Back at home, Anupama and her well-wishers continue preparing for Leela’s birthday celebration. Pari arrives and tells Anupama that she came on her own. During this time, Anupama introduces Digvijay to her family members.

In the precap, the Shah family comes together to celebrate Leela’s birthday. Vasundhara makes a revelation that Shruti is financially backing Prem’s café, leaving Anupama emotional. Digvijay offers her encouragement. Meanwhile, a guest calls Digvijay Anu’s husband and praises them as the best couple, leaving both of them completely stunned.
