Anupamaa: Khyati supports Rahi and urges her to win the competition

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Manohar brings Anupama home, where she is overwhelmed with memories of the past. The emotions flood in, leaving her broken and distressed. Meanwhile, Rahi vents her anger on Prem, visibly upset with his actions. Bharti and Preet, seeing Anupama's condition, grow emotional. Manohar lovingly serves food to Anupama and motivates her to rise again. Though she feels weak and defeated, he reminds her of how she once helped him heal when he was at his lowest. Now, it's her turn to fight back with courage.

Elsewhere, Vasundhara confronts Prem about spending the night outside. He casually replies that he was simply exhausted. Rahi distances herself from him, keeping silent. Vasundhara points out how deeply Rahi has been hurt, blaming Anupama for the emotional turmoil. Prem clarifies that he never intended to hurt anyone, insisting that while Rahi may have a point, his stance is also justified. He advises that Rahi should now channel her focus into the dance finale. Vasundhara, however, coldly remarks that Anupama deserved to lose everything today, both Rahi and the competition.

Back at Manohar's place, Anupama gathers her strength and expresses gratitude to him for helping her regain hope. She makes a promise to herself that she will win back the faith of Preet, Bharti, Deepa, and Rita. Manohar praises her unique spirit. Just then, they receive surprising news, their team has been granted a wildcard entry into the competition's grand finale, which will be held in Ahmedabad. Additionally, all expenses for the finale will be taken care of, leaving Anupama and Manohar delighted by the unexpected opportunity.

At the Kothari household, murmurs spread about how Anupama seemingly let Rahi win the semi-final. This rumour angers Rahi, while Gautam observes that due to Anupama's actions, Rahi may lose public support. Khyati and Vasundhara advise Rahi to focus on defeating Anupama in the final and proving herself. Prem notes how the two have suddenly changed sides, now rooting for Rahi to overshadow Anupama. Khyati is adamant that Rahi must claim victory to make a statement. Trying to lighten the mood, Prem assures Rahi that she has the talent to win and shouldn't take undue pressure. Parag too joins in with words of encouragement.

On another front, Paritosh and Pakhi take credit for Rahi's win in the semi-final. Paritosh boasts that had Anupama not stepped back, Rahi wouldn't have stood a chance.

At the chawl, the women continue to face ridicule from the neighbors, who mock them for their failure in the competition. The taunts are relentless, and many among them start to believe that this humiliation will now be a permanent part of their lives, all because of Anupama. Amidst the criticism, Sarita takes a stand in Anupama’s support, stating her belief that Anupama wasn’t at fault. Bharti too steps forward, backing Sarita, which soon leads to a heated exchange with the others.

The people in the chawl label them as losers and accuse them of tarnishing the reputation of the entire locality. Just then, Anupama arrives and boldly intervenes, stopping them from calling her team by such names, leaving everyone stunned. Instead of backing down, the residents continue to mock her, questioning her confidence despite losing.

At that moment, Preet steps up and confronts Anupama about her return. Without hesitation, Anupama informs the group about their wildcard entry into the finale and shows them the official letter. The news fills everyone with joy, and in their excitement, they rush to hug Anupama. Even Preet, momentarily overwhelmed, embraces Anupama in celebration of making it to the finals.

However, the happiness is short-lived. Preet quickly recollects the events of the past and distances herself once again, stating that she is still not ready to trust Anupama. Anupama tries her best to convince her, but Preet stands her ground. Both Bharti and Sarita attempt to persuade Preet to give Anupama another chance, but she refuses to be part of the competition.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, at a temple in Ahmedabad, Anupama and Rahi cross paths unexpectedly. Rahi chooses not to take blessings, visibly annoyed by the encounter. Anupama urges her to maintain peace in the sacred place. Rahi, irritated, questions why Anupama had to come to the same temple out of all places. Anupama calmly says it's merely a coincidence.
