Anupamaa: Jassi becomes the new Devika for Anu; before leaving for Mumbai, she admits her feelings for Ansh

Tonight's Anupamaa episode opens with Rahi reflecting on Anupama as a mother. She says Anupama has always guided her children without forcing her personal experiences on them to define right or wrong. Rahi adds that Anupama has faced constant disrespect in life, yet she has never let that change her values. She makes it clear that she will never ask Anupama to compromise on her principles. Vasundhara, however, feels Rahi is now blindly supporting Anupama and questions her stance.

Vasundhara then turns to Prem, reminding him of the respect he has always shown Anupama. She points out that despite his efforts, Anupama is now treating him like an outsider. Rahi immediately defends Anupama, telling Prem that the situation is being misunderstood. Prem, hurt and disappointed, apologizes to Anupama for trusting her. He admits that he was wrong to believe she would give him another chance after his mistake. Feeling defeated, Prem asks Vasundhara to take him back to the Kothari house.

Vasundhara blames Anupama, saying her rigid attitude is destroying not only Prem’s dream but also putting his relationship with Rahi at risk. Anupama stands there silently, her eyes filled with tears. Unable to hold back her emotions, she breaks down, and Jassi steps in to comfort her. Anupama confides in Jassi, expressing her fear that Prem and Rahi’s bond might suffer because of her decision.

Jassi, however, disagrees and tells Anupama that she always sacrifices her happiness for others, even when they fail to value her. She explains that while Prem usually stands for what is right, this time he is thinking only about his own convenience. Jassi encourages Anupama to finally start living for herself. She then reveals her own emotional struggle, admitting that she has feelings for Ansh and has decided to move to Mumbai to distance herself from him. Before leaving, Jassi asks Anupama to promise that she will now prioritize herself. When Anupama questions her about the money, Jassi insists that it rightfully belongs to her and should be accepted as recognition for her leadership. The two share an emotional hug.

Meanwhile, Prerna grows anxious about the consequences if Anupama submits the report. She worries that all their hard work will go to waste and fears they won’t be able to handle the loss. She also questions how they will manage the loan in such a situation. Rahi tries to calm her down, reminding her that everyone is already under stress and asking Prem to take some rest. However, Prem loses his temper, accusing Anupama of betraying him. Rahi attempts to make him understand that Anupama is simply fulfilling her duty, but Prem refuses to listen. He insists that Anupama has denied him the opportunity to correct his mistake. In his anger, he lashes out at Rahi and asks her to leave him alone. Calling himself a failure, he isolates himself. Prerna decides to follow him, while Vasundhara warns Rahi that whatever happens next will be because of Anupama. Rahi is left shocked by the situation.

On the other hand, Anupama makes up her mind to submit the report. Even in this moment, she silently prays for Prem’s success and hopes his restaurant achieves great heights in the future. Elsewhere, Rahi tries to comfort Prem, who continues to blame himself for disappointing Vasundhara and Parag. He questions why Anupama shattered his dream when he had always placed his trust in her. Rahi is left speechless hearing his pain.

Anupama, meanwhile, keeps worrying that her decision should not create distance between Prem and Rahi. Ansh reassures her, saying their relationship must remain unaffected. When Anupama asks if he plans to move to Mumbai as well, Ansh explains that his responsibilities towards his family won’t allow him to leave. Anupama advises him not to sacrifice his dreams, but Ansh firmly responds that responsibilities are just as important as dreams. His words leave Anupama emotional as she reflects on him.

The next morning, Rahi notices a message from Prem and wonders why he left so early. At home, Paritosh reads a newspaper report stating that Prem’s restaurant has failed the security test. Instead of showing concern, he seems pleased and blames Anupama for the outcome. Hasmuk, however, defends her, saying she actually protected Prem by doing the right thing. Pakhi, Leela, and Paritosh continue to criticize Anupama’s decision.

Later, Prem calls Anupama to his restaurant. Though he welcomes her, his tone is filled with sarcasm. He taunts her for ruining his dream and reminds her that he had always wanted her to perform the inauguration ritual of his restaurant. Despite everything that has happened, he asks her to go ahead and perform the ritual.

In the precap, Prem confronts Anupama directly, asking why she destroyed his dream. He tells her that this will be the last time he meets her and declares that he never wants to see her again. Anupama is left shattered by his words. At the same time, Gautam tells the Kothari family that Anupama is responsible for Prem’s current condition, further intensifying the blame on her.
