Anupamaa: Prem DISCOVERS Khyati’s sacrifice of choosing him over Mohit, but his HATRED only grows stronger

Tonight's Anupamaa episode opens with Anupama approaching Raghav with an apology. Raghav, deeply moved by the way she stood up for Prem, shares that he, too, once wished someone had defended him the same way. Anupama asks why he never tried to fight for himself. He replies with a heavy heart that the odds were never in his favour and he wouldn't have been able to win. Hearing this, Anupama motivates Raghav to not give up and instead stand tall to live with dignity. Raghav, however, confesses that he doesn't have the strength to take on such powerful people alone. Determined, Anupama pledges to stand with him and fight for justice against those who falsely accused him.

Meanwhile, Pakhi walks in on Ishani, spending time with a boy. Suspicious, she confronts them and questions the young man about his profession. He confidently responds that he is an influencer and earns lakhs. Unimpressed, Pakhi lashes out at both of them. Ishani defends her relationship and confesses her feelings for the boy. But Pakhi reminds her that her marriage has already been arranged with the Kotharis and orders her to forget the boy. Ishani, frustrated, tells Pakhi to stop forcing her into marrying Raja.

Elsewhere, Khayti reflects on something Prem had said earlier. Rahi attempts to talk to her about Aryan, but Moti Baa interrupts and calls her away before the conversation can happen. Curious, Khyati wonders what Rahi wanted to say.

Back in another scene, Anupama questions Pakhi about her attempts to control Ishani's life. Pakhi insists that the alliance with Raja is final. Anupama, shocked by her behaviour, asks if she's lost her senses. Pakhi furiously defends her decision, calling Ishani's boyfriend a loser and even drags Kinjal into the argument, saying her life has been ruined by marrying someone beneath her. Anupama is enraged and scolds Pakhi, but Pakhi accuses her of being jealous and deliberately sabotaging Ishani's match with Raja.

The next morning, as the Kothari family sits down for breakfast, Parag receives a phone call from Khyati's brother. Khyati answers the call. His tone is urgent—he informs her that Aryan has been taken into custody and urges her to come to the police station immediately. Khyati is left stunned by the news.

When she hesitates, her brother becomes more insistent. He then drops a bigger revelation that Prem is linked to Mohit's arrest. Khyati is taken aback, but the biggest shock comes when he finally reveals the truth that Mohit is none other than Aryan. The news leaves Khyati completely shaken.

Noticing her disturbed state, Parag and Rahi ask what's wrong. Trying to cover up her panic, Khyati simply says that her brother wants to meet her and leaves without offering further details. However, Rahi senses that something is amiss and begins to feel suspicious about Khyati's sudden change in behaviour. As Khayti faces an emotional breakdown in her room, Rahi teams up with Prem and decides to secretly follow Khyati.

When Khyati finally meets her brother, she immediately demands answers. She's furious and confused—how did Aryan end up at the Kothari house under a different identity? Years ago, she was told he had gone away for studies. If that was true, how did he suddenly reappear in their lives as Mohit? And more importantly, why was she never informed that he had come to Ahmedabad? Her voice trembles as she reminds her brother of the money she has been sending all these years, believing it would give Aryan a better life.

Her brother, trying to make her understand, tells her that providing financial support can only comfort a child for a while. Eventually, every child longs for their mother. He questions how long she expected Aryan to remain in the dark, constantly suppressing his own questions about his identity. Eventually, he had to tell Aryan the truth—who his real parents were. This revelation hits Khyati hard.

From a distance, Rahi and Prem quietly witness this emotional confrontation, overhearing every word. Khyati, now shaken, asks her brother if Aryan knows everything. The weight of the truth hits her as memories from her past—moments with Mohit inside the Kothari home—flood her mind. The realization that her own son had been right in front of her and knew she was his mother leaves her broken and overwhelmed.

Her brother, deeply hurt, accuses her of betraying her own child by making him live like an orphan. He reminds her that Aryan is her son too—a Kothari by blood—leaving Rahi and Prem stunned.

But Khyati refuses to acknowledge Aryan in the same way. For her, Prem is her only son. She argues that Mohit always saw how deeply she cared for Prem, and that love alone should explain everything. Her brother, disappointed, questions what kind of mother chooses to ignore her biological child.

In a choked voice, Khyati admits she wronged Mohit. After Gayatri passed away, Prem and Prarthana needed her the most. She never wanted them to feel that she was more of a mother to Mohit than to them. She didn't want them to ever doubt her love. Leaving behind her infant son was the hardest decision of her life, but she did it for the sake of Prem and Prarthana. She didn't want to be seen as a stepmother. She explains that she had to choose between her two sons—and she chose Prem. She says she couldn't play the role of both Devaki and Yashoda, so she chose to be Yashoda.

Her brother is left speechless at this reasoning, unable to comprehend how a mother could abandon one child to protect the feelings of another. He reminds her of Aryan's pain—how it must have felt to grow up feeling unwanted. Khyati, now deeply emotional, admits that Aryan likely views her the same way Prem does—a bad mother. Perhaps, she says, she truly is unfortunate that both her sons harbour resentment for her.

She then asks why Aryan harbours anger towards Prem. Her brother reveals that Aryan believes Prem is the reason he was separated from his mother. This only fuels Khyati's rage further. She firmly declares that she won't even see Aryan's face again, let alone help him get out of jail. Her heart has no space left for forgiveness.

Trying to calm her, her brother explains Aryan's side of the story, his pain, and why he did what he did. But Khyati shuts him down. She claims the only one who holds the right to recieve her love is Prem. Her brother is devastated to hear this and questions whether she truly understands what being a mother means.

Khyati then orders him to take Aryan away from Ahmedabad. She says Aryan can hate her if he wants, but he must stay away from Prem and Rahi's lives. The truth about Aryan must remain hidden forever. But her brother warns her—no secret stays buried forever.

Watching and hearing everything, a heartbroken Prem silently walks away. Rahi, worried for him, quickly follows.

As the emotional storm settles, Khyati's brother assures her that, no matter what, he will stand by Aryan and protect him. He then leaves, while Khyati remains behind—utterly shattered and alone with the consequences of her past decisions.

Meanwhile, Anil and Parag begin plotting their next move and decide to file a strong legal case against Mohit. The police, however, inform them that Mohit has a clean record. Parag, recalling how they had once sabotaged Raghav's life, claims they will destroy Mohit's future, too, if that's what he wants.

Later, Khyati returns home and is surprised when Rahi embraces her emotionally. On the other side, Anupama anxiously waits for a call from Rahi. Hasmuk approaches her, and she opens up about her concerns regarding Rahi. He offers her comfort and support.

Rahi then urges Prem to speak out and express what's on his mind. Prem, filled with anger and pain, blames Khyati for being a negligent mother. He questions whether she left Aryan behind to enjoy a more carefree life with Parag or because she feared being thrown out of the Kothari mansion. He even suggests that perhaps Khyati was scared Parag would leave her, especially since Moti Baa had already taken over the responsibility of raising him and Prarthana. Rahi is deeply pained hearing the bitterness in Prem's voice and the harsh emotions behind his words.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Rahi requests Khyati to reunite with Aryan, but Aryan refuses to accept her. Anupama tries to make Aryan hear Khyati's side of the story. Meanwhile, Gautam delivers shocking news to Parag—that Prem has withdrawn the case against Mohit. Parag is left stunned.
