Anupamaa: Prem escapes Anu's questions about his link to Prathna

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anupama seeks answers as she confronts Prem, urging him to reveal the truth. However, Prem avoids the discussion and uses the milkman's arrival as an excuse to slip away. Frustrated by his evasion, Anupama decides to take control of the situation herself. Determined to get to the bottom of things, she contemplates confronting Prathna, realising that Prem is unwilling to divulge anything.

Meanwhile, Prem cautions Prathna to maintain her distance from him whenever Anupama is around. He is adamant about keeping his past a secret, refusing to let it come to light under any circumstances.

Anupama is interrupted by Leela, who summons her urgently. Upon arrival, Leela reveals that the Shah family is planning a surprise celebration for Kinjal and Toshu's wedding anniversary. Excited by the idea, Anupama looks forward to joining the family on a picnic. As the preparations for the trip continue, Rahi crosses paths with Prem, who is busy packing snacks for the upcoming picnic. Before departing, Rahi sternly reminds him to ensure the celebration for Kinjal and Toshu goes smoothly, urging him to avoid any unnecessary actions or statements that could create a scene. Prem interrupts her, correcting her that he isn't that he isn't duffer.

Rahi then confronts Prem about his peculiar behaviour during the Christmas party, questioning his motives. In response, Prem dismisses her concerns, stating that he was acting out of frustration. He makes it clear that he will continue to seek the truth despite her attempts to hide it. Prem challenges Rahi to find the courage to accept her feelings and acknowledge the love they share before walking away, leaving her startled by his determination.

The Shah family brims with enthusiasm for the picnic. Anupama sets her sights on three objectives during the outing. These are confronting Mahi about her obsession with Prem, uncovering the secret Rahi is guarding, and discovering Prem's hidden truth. She prays for divine support, hoping the picnic will be a memorable success.

As the picnic begins, Mahi eagerly takes a seat beside Prem. The family engages in a fun game where each participant must quickly say a unique name without repeating any previously mentioned. The first round goes smoothly as everyone participates enthusiastically. However, the atmosphere takes an unexpected turn when Prem suddenly mentions Prathna's name during his turn. This unexpected slip leaves Anupama shocked and causes her to lose focus, leading to her elimination from the game. Shortly after, Prem is unsettled upon seeing Gayatri Niwas, a place tied to his past. When Anupama notices his discomfort, she questions him, but he brushes it off. Prem's unease deepens when he discovers that Ansh has chosen the Kotari bungalow for their overnight stay. The resort caretaker vaguely recognises Prem, but he avoids interaction, adding to his growing frustration.

As the family celebrates Kinjal and Toshu's anniversary, Pari and Ishani organise a delightful surprise. Kinjal and Toshu are touched by the thoughtful arrangements, and Anupama takes the opportunity to encourage them to reflect on their relationship. She emphasises the importance of cherishing life and working on their bond.

Meanwhile, Prem sends a message to Rahi, urging her not to push him into marrying Mahi. He uses Toshu and Kinjal's relationship as an example to emphasise his point. Elsewhere, Mahi reflects on her deep and unshakable love for Prem, firmly resolved to build a happy and lasting future with him.
