Anupamaa: Parag sends Rahi to Mumbai with Prem for dance training, Mahi unhappy with the decision

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Bharti confides in Jaspreet that even though Anupama hasn't spoken a word, her gesture of baking a cake clearly shows she hasn't forgotten a special someone's birthday. Jaspreet agrees and says making a cake always adds joy to any day.

Anupama dreams of Rahi and embraces her in her vision. She lovingly wishes her daughter a happy birthday and decides to visit the temple afterwards. Meanwhile, the Kothari family begins celebrating Rahi's birthday, giving her a surprise. Back in Mumbai, Jaspreet, Bharti, and Anupama celebrate with a cake-cutting ceremony.

Later, Prem and Rahi share a cheerful dance. During the celebrations, Rahi accidentally collides with Khyati. However, Khyati confronts the family, accusing them of celebrating at a time when they should be mourning Aryan's loss. She questions their intent behind the gathering.

Prem calmly explains that they are simply marking Rahi's birthday. Parag, trying to reason with Khyati, reminds her that grief shouldn't rob others of their happiness. However, Khyati vents her frustration on Rahi, saying that joy has no place in the house after Aryan's death. She also blames Anupama for everything that went wrong.

Parag defends Rahi, stating that she shouldn't suffer for Anupama's mistakes. But Khyati lashes out, accusing Rahi of seeking sympathy and attention. Mahi further instigates her, fuelling her anger. In a moment of cruelty, Khyati remarks that it would've been better if Rahi had disappeared like Anupama and says she's only tolerating her for Prem's sake.

Hurt by the drama, Rahi feels shattered and wonders if her birthday should've gone unnoticed. She expresses deep disappointment with Anupama, believing that her life has turned miserable because of her.

The following day, Parag encourages Rahi to perform a temple puja. Rahi and Prem carry out the rituals, after which Prem asks Khyati to bless Rahi. Though reluctant, Khyati gives a cold blessing, asking her to stay happy.

Parag then suggests Rahi move to Mumbai for classical dance training under the guidance of Pandit Manohar. Prem appreciates the idea and feels it's a great opportunity. However, Khyati objects, asking how Rahi can leave the family behind. Prem points out that even he travels abroad for work. To ease her worries, Parag proposes that Prem accompany Rahi to Mumbai.

Mahi, on the other hand, questions the need for Prem to travel with Rahi and looks displeased with the plan. Meanwhile, Bharti hands over Manohar's address to Anupama and motivates her to reclaim her life and become financially independent.

Rahi, eager to start a new chapter, is visibly thrilled at the prospect of pursuing her dreams in Mumbai. Prem feels relieved to see Rahi smiling after a long time. She strongly believes the city will help her achieve her goals.

At the Kothari house, a heated argument erupts between Meeta and Khyati over money. Meeta tells Khyati to stop spending aimlessly, but Khyati snaps back, saying she is only using the money earned by Parag and Prem. Their quarrel intensifies until Pakhi steps in to stop them.

Elsewhere, Savita watches Anupama's video and blames her for the trouble in the chawl. The residents gather against Anupama and decide to evict her. However, she narrowly escapes the confrontation.

Precap for the next episode:
