Anupamaa: Hasmuk collapses at home while the Shahs remain unaware

In tonight’s episode of Anupamaa, the tension in Sarita’s house intensifies as Prakash’s men arrive and extend an invitation for everyone to join them in the evening. Just as they are about to leave, Rahi suddenly stops them and points out one of the men, claiming he was the same person who had come to their house the previous night. Her statement leaves everyone stunned.

Rahi Identifies the Intruder and Shocks Everyone

Rahi insists that she remembers the man clearly because of the tattoo on his hand. She says she noticed the same tattoo last night, confirming that he's the same person. Everyone turns to look, noticing the tattoo for themselves.

Anupama's memory also clicks and she realises he's the same man who misbehaved with Rahi at the dhabba. Soon, Preet too recognises him, backing up Rahi's claim.

However, Sarita refuses to believe it. She asks Rahi what she's talking about, reminding her that the man works for Prakash Bhau. But Rahi refuses to back down.

Raising her voice, she says she doesn't care who he works for, he is one of the two men who came last night. She adds that she had screamed, which scared them away, otherwise, she doesn't know what they might have done.

Anupama and Devika Stand by Rahi

Mahi questions Rahi again, asking if she's absolutely sure. Rahi confidently replies that she's "200% sure" and would never accuse anyone falsely. She pleads with everyone to believe her, saying she's speaking the truth, it was this very man who came to their house last night.

Anupama steps forward and assures Rahi of her complete trust, making it clear that she believes her even if others don’t. Devika stands by Rahi as well, supporting her claim and insisting that she cannot be wrong about what she saw. Filled with anger and determination, Anupama confronts the man, questioning his presence at their house.

Sarita and Tatiya Defend Prakash’s Men

Before things can escalate, Sarita intervenes and stops Anupama, warning her not to say anything against Prakash Bhau's men. Despite being furious, Anupama halts when Sarita emotionally gives her a swear not to argue further.

Tatiya tries to calm the situation, saying there's been some misunderstanding. He defends the man, insisting that he was with them at the temple all night. But Anupama challenges him, asking where the man was during the day. She then reveals that he was at the dhabba earlier — the same man who had misbehaved with her daughter.

Tatiya stands firm, saying Prakash's men could never do something wrong. But the rest of the family begins to confront the man, accusing him of being present both at the dhabba and at the house during the night, leaving the situation tense and uncertain.

Devika Rejects Sarita’s Superstitious Beliefs

Tatiya then whispers something to Sarita, prompting her to assure everyone that Prakash will deliver justice if his men are indeed at fault. She also praises Anupama's faith and claims that Prakash has the power to heal Devika's illness.

Devika, however, disagrees with Sarita's beliefs. She firmly says that she doesn't believe in superstition — if she's destined to live, doctors will cure her; if not, even God cannot change fate. Anupama supports Devika's stance, telling Sarita she is free to believe what she wishes but shouldn't impose her faith on others.

An Emotional Moment Between Devika and Jaya

Later, Devika has an emotional exchange with Jaya, who reminds her of the promise she made to take her to the picnic. As the conversation unfolds, Anupama senses Samar's presence and tells Devika she feels he's trying to communicate with them.

Devika admits she feels the same and asks Anupama what it means. Anupama, disturbed, starts to believe Samar's spirit is not at peace and begins to suspect that his unrest may be connected to Prakash.

Kitchen Chaos

Meanwhile, everyone is taken aback when they discover that the cooking gas has finished. Pakhi confronts Sarita for not arranging a new cylinder despite knowing guests were arriving.

Sarita defends herself, saying she wasn't aware it would run out. Leela suggests observing a fast instead, but Pakhi refuses. Khyati points out that Prarthana cannot stay hungry either. Anupama then proposes that they prepare food using a traditional stove.

While discussing the importance of cow dung and its uses, Anupama becomes emotional, missing Samar deeply. When Khyati notices her distress, Anupama admits she's thinking about him.

To add some festive spirit, Pari creates a Navratri banner for everyone. Sarita talks about how making rangoli has always been their family's tradition.

Just then, Rahi, Pari, Mahi, and Meeta realise that the mobile network has returned and quickly call their husbands. Suddenly, Anupama senses someone's presence and is startled, feeling as though someone is watching her.

Hasmuk Collapses

At the Shah house, Hasmuk begins to feel an intense pain in his chest but assumes it’s just acidity and takes some medicine to ease the discomfort. As the pain persists, he tries calling Paritosh for help, but Paritosh ignores his call, too occupied to notice.

Hasmuk then attempts to reach out to Ansh, unaware that Ansh’s phone is on silent while he’s engrossed in a chess game with Parag, completely oblivious to the ringing phone in the background.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Vasundhara spots Ansh spending time with the Kotharis and makes a sarcastic remark, saying that Anupama is indeed shrewd for managing to get all her children married within the same family.

Back at home, Hasmuk’s condition worsens. Struggling to breathe and clutching his chest, he tries to get up but loses his balance. Overwhelmed by the pain, he collapses to the floor, lying unconscious and alone.

Anupama Prepares for the Puja as Samar’s Spirit Calls Out

Back at Sarita's house, everyone dresses up in vibrant Marathi attire for the celebrations. Gulabo clicks their pictures, capturing their joyful moments. As the preparations for the puja continue, Samar's spirit calls out to Anupama, urging her to be ready. Sarita reminds everyone that they must start the rituals on time, and Anupama agrees.

Precap for the Next Episode

In the precap, Sarita introduces Anupama to Prakash. However, Prakash is left stunned when he comes face-to-face with Anupama.
