Anupamaa: Maahi tries to get close to Prem in Raahi's absence, refuses to BACK OFF

In the episode of Anupamaa tonight, Khyati is overcome with emotion as she prays to God, asking why He took Prem away from her. She feels like she's been tested as a mother and can't understand why God is being so cruel. She remembers all the times she prayed and fasted to keep Prem by her side, and now she feels like God has abandoned her. Anil tries to calm her down, but Khyati is too distraught to listen. She asks Anil to question God, to ask Him why He's doing this to her. Anil tries to reason with her, saying that no one listens - not God, not Vasundhara, and not Parag. But Khyati is beyond consolation.

Anupama is worried about Rahi and Prem, and she can't shake off the feeling that something is off. She thinks about Parag's words and wonders if he's right. Is she just being paranoid, or is there really something to be worried about? Paritosh gets angry with her for causing tension with the Kotharis, but Kinjal steps in to defend her. Meanwhile, Vasundhara confronts Hasmuk for supporting Anupama. Hasmuk stands up to Vasundhara, refusing to back down. He tells her that she's being unfair and that Anupama deserves their support. Vasundhara is furious, but Hasmuk remains calm and composed.

Rahi is struggling to untangle her hair when Prem comes to her rescue. They share a sweet moment together, but Mahi catches them and looks on with disapproval. Anupama is haunted by Raghav's words, and she can't shake off the feeling that he's telling the truth. She wonders if she's made a mistake by trusting him. Rahi and Prem surprise the Shahs by cooking breakfast for them. Anupama is touched by the gesture and gets emotional when she sees Rahi wearing a saree. She remembers the days when Rahi was a little girl, and now she's all grown up.

In the Shah house, Parag is furious with the guards for not doing their job properly. Gautam tries to calm him down, but Parag is too angry to listen. He demands to know why the guards didn't stop Prem and Rahi from leaving the house. Gautam tries to explain, but Parag cuts him off. Prathana tries to warn Gautam to stop manipulating Parag, but Gautam silences her with a threat. He tells her that if she says anything, the Kotharis will end up on the streets. Prathana is scared, but she knows she can't keep quiet forever.

The Shahs enjoy the breakfast prepared by Prem and Raahi. Hasmuk jokes with Leela, but Rahi notices that Mahi has a wound on her hand. Anupama becomes suspicious of Mahi's intentions and wonders what she's up to. Kartik asks Anupama to teach dance to prisoners, and she agrees to consider it. Leela, Pakhi, and Paritosh try to dissuade Anupama from going to the jail, but Rahi and Prem encourage her to take the opportunity. Rahi decides to accompany Anupama to the jail, and Prem offers to cook a special meal for them. Mahi tries to get close to Prem, but Pari warns her to back off. Mahi declares that she won't be stopped from getting what she wants.

Kartik provides Anupama and Rahi with a sense of relief by promising to ensure their protection. Anupama's concerns about Raghav's intentions linger, but Kartik confidently reassures her that he will not pose a threat to either of them. With a sense of determination, Kartik takes on the responsibility of guaranteeing their well-being and safety.
