Anupamaa: Is this the end of Rahi and Anu’s bond? Former says, 'Na woh meri maa hai, na main unki beti'

Tonight's Anupamaa episode opens with Rahi breaking down emotionally as she tells Prem that people never truly accept a child who is not born to them. She says only a few children are fortunate enough to receive unconditional love like Lord Krishna did. Rahi questions whether Anupama would have treated her differently if she had been her biological daughter. Hurt and angry, she says that blood relations eventually reveal their reality.

Rahi confesses that Anupama’s behavior has filled her with fear about her own future with Pranshi. She wonders if she too may one day behave similarly with the child. She blames Anupama for ruining her relationships and says even her bond with Pranshi has started getting affected. Rahi admits that Anupama’s slap has shattered her emotionally. In a moment of anger and heartbreak, Rahi cuts all ties with Anupama and declares that from now on, Anupama is no longer her mother, nor is she her daughter. She tells Prem that a woman who raises her hand for someone else can never truly be called a mother. Filled with bitterness, Rahi vows to take revenge on Anupama and asks Prem to immediately start preparations for opening the café.

Rahi says she feels orphaned all over again. She decides that Anupama’s actions have changed her completely and now she too will transform herself.

Meanwhile, Anupama speaks to Digvijay about how everyone around her believes she has become cold-hearted. She says people constantly accuse her of changing and no one understands her side. Anupama shares how exhausted she feels after repeatedly trying to explain herself to Leela and the rest of the family. She emotionally says that the moment a mother fails to fulfil even one wish of her child, she automatically becomes the villain in their eyes.

However, Anupama refuses to give up on Rahi. She decides to make her daughter remember the values and upbringing she received from both Anuj and her. Anupama becomes determined to make Rahi realize where she is going wrong.

Elsewhere, Shruti secretly feels happy seeing the hatred growing inside Rahi against Anupama. She decides to support Rahi further by helping her expand and open more cafés. Shruti dreams of separating Rahi from Anupama permanently. Remembering how Anuj chose Anupama over her, Shruti believes fate is finally bringing Rahi back into her life. She imagines creating a complete family with Prem and Rahi and feels relieved at the thought that she may never have to feel lonely again.

Later, Anupama folds her hands before God and prays for strength. At the same time, the Kothari family is also seen offering prayers. Rahi becomes impatient about launching the café and asks Shruti to quickly take her to the location. Raja assures Rahi that he will stay back and take care of Pranshi. Meeta jokingly asks him whether he is even ready to change diapers if needed. Raja smiles and says he will handle everything if required. Meeta insists that Raja should instead focus on office work, but Anil supports Raja and says missing office for one day will not create any problem.

Soon, the conversation in the Kothari house shifts toward Raja and Pari starting a family. Vasundhara advises Pari to think about having a baby soon. Pari calmly responds that she has only recently begun focusing on her boutique business and wants to prioritise her work for now. This sparks tension between Vasundhara, Pari, and Rahi. Prerna tries to divert the discussion by bringing up the café topic, but Shruti ignores her completely, leaving Prerna feeling hurt and sidelined. Amid all this, Rahi stays focused on her decision to launch the café as soon as possible.

On the other side, Anupama discusses work with Banku and says they must complete preparations and open their café within the next two days. Shortly after, Mahi and Kinjal arrive to meet her. Anupama becomes curious about their sudden visit. Kinjal then reveals that Mahi has finally sent divorce papers to Gautam.

At the Kothari house, Vasundhara immediately blames Anupama and claims that Mahi only took this step because Anupama influenced her. She says Mahi herself lacked the courage to send the papers. Gautam is left completely shocked after receiving the divorce notice.

Anupama quickly understands that the entire blame will once again fall on her shoulders. Mahi worries that Anupama will unnecessarily get dragged into the family matter, but Anupama remains calm. She says she no longer cares about what the Kotharis think of her and motivates Mahi to stay strong during this difficult phase.

Meanwhile, Gautam becomes furious with Anupama. Vasundhara tells him they must ensure that Anupama’s café never opens successfully. Gautam immediately understands her hidden message. Vasundhara openly admits that she only wants Prem to succeed while Anupama faces defeat. Enraged, Gautam decides to destroy Anupama’s happiness and vows to take revenge at any cost. He secretly starts keeping an eye on Anupama, Digvijay, and Prem.

Later, Anupama speaks emotionally to Anuj’s photograph and praises him for always standing beside her. She says that as long as Anuj’s blessings remain with her, nobody can stop her from moving ahead. At the same time, Gautam arrives near Anupama’s café with a mysterious man and shows him the place. Hasmuk notices Gautam from a distance and becomes suspicious, though he wonders if he may just be overthinking the situation.

In a lighter moment, Banku playfully teases Anupama after overhearing her talking lovingly about Anuj. He asks her to narrate the story of her love journey with Anuj. Anupama smiles emotionally as she begins recalling the beautiful memories she shared with him, getting lost in moments from her past.

In the precap, Anupama receives shocking news that she must vacate the café property within two days because the owners have found new tenants. At the same time, someone secretly damages the café’s gas pipe. Late at night, Anupama and Hasmuk quietly enter the café, but both end up trapped inside. Digvijay rushes to rescue them.
