Anupamaa: Mahi’s dream to win Prem shatters as the Kotharis propose Rahi’s alliance

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, the Shah family is left stunned by the sudden arrival of the Kotharis. Moti Baa worries and hopes Parag keeps his temper in check today. Parag, on the other hand, suppresses his anger for the sake of Prem, though he admits that otherwise, he would have shattered the egos of Anupama and Rahi. Prem intervenes, asking Parag to leave and avoid creating unnecessary drama. He firmly warns Parag to stop troubling him. Parag stands in disbelief at Prem's attitude.

Prem questions Parag about his lack of concern for his reputation, to which Moti Baa counters, saying that a son is more important than one's image. Prem, however, insists that the Kotharis leave. Moti Baa turns her attention to Rahi, demanding an explanation for why she allegedly pushed Prem. Prem asserts that the matter is strictly between him and Rahi. Moti Baa insists Rahi explain herself. Rahi accuses Prem of betrayal, but Prem clarifies that Rahi didn't push him; he merely slipped.

Prem continues to urge the Kotharis to leave. Moti Baa remains firm, stating that no one will leave until the issue is resolved. Meanwhile, Moti Baa requests Anupama's permission to enter. Anupama decides to hear the Kotharis out. Paritosh suggests that Pakhi record the Kotharis' visit to create a video, hoping to gain overnight fame by uploading it from an anonymous account. However, Kinjal strongly opposes the idea, calling it inappropriate, while Ishani voices her disapproval of the plan. Pakhi, ignoring them, encourages Ishani to proceed with the recording.

Khyati then distributes gifts to the children. The Kotharis then express regret for their past actions before formally introducing themselves to the Shahs. Toshu becomes overly enthusiastic about their presence. Moti Baa then introduces Khayti as Prem's mother. However, Prem refuses to acknowledge her as his mother. Parag apologises to Anupama for his previous mistakes, but Anupama points out that repeating a mistake shows a lack of sincerity. Despite this, the Kotharis continue apologising.

Toshu persists in asking Ishani to record the situation, much to the disapproval of others. Hasmuk and Leela console the Kotharis, encouraging them not to dwell on the past. Khyati praises the Shah household, describing it as warm and inviting. Moti Baa marvels at the unity of four generations living together under one roof and compliments the family. Parag reveals how helpless he felt being separated from Prem and credits Anupama for bringing Prem back home. Once again, Parag apologises to Anupama, this time on Prem's behalf.

Moti Baa then brings up Prem and Rahi's relationship, proposing an alliance between the two. This revelation leaves Mahi in shock. Both Moti Baa and Khyati assure that Rahi would be happy in their home and attempt to persuade Anupama to accept the proposal.

Parag tries to offer Hasmuk a gift, while Moti Baa remarks that they often give gifts to their staff, so the Shahs, being like family, should not hesitate to accept them. The Kotharis suggest that the Shahs take time to consider the proposal. Before leaving, Moti Baa and Khyati encourage Rahi to envision completing their family. Khyati asks Prem to prioritise understanding over judgment. Meanwhile, Parag becomes visibly irritated by the Shahs' locality. Prem decides to have a one-on-one conversation with Rahi to clear the air.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Rahi pleads with Anupama to stand by her decision. A distressed Anupama breaks down in front of Hasmuk. Later, Parag invites the Shah family for lunch, leaving Anupama shocked.
