Anupamaa: Prem gets arrested in shocking hit-and-run case

Tonight's Anupamaa episode opens with Rahi urging Anupama to get a medical check-up after everything that happened, but Anupama brushes it off, saying she feels completely fine. Just then, a man approaches them, reveals that he watched their fashion show, and immediately offers them work opportunities. Anupama proudly introduces Ishani and Pari to him. Impressed, he invites both girls to visit his office for further discussion. Before leaving, he even takes a selfie with Anupama.

Praise for Anupama and Rising Opportunities in the Chawl

Another person, this time from an event company, arrives praising Anupama and her entire team's efforts. He expresses his interest in handling all their upcoming events in the chawl, and Anupama happily agrees.

Rahi tells Anupama that because of her, not only the dance ranis but several residents of the chawl are finally getting recognition and work. Anupama humbly says that everyone deserves credit, not just her. Pari gently teases Anupama for again passing the credit to others. Anupama explains that celebrating everyone's contribution is important.

Meanwhile, the Shah family receives news about the accident. Pakhi becomes anxious for Ishani's safety, Paritosh fears for Pari, and Kinjal's concern is entirely for Anupama. Ansh soon updates them that Anupama is safe, but Leela starts blaming her for shifting to Mumbai and putting Ishani and Pari in danger. Hasmuk steps in, reminding Leela that Anupama's own life was at risk, too, yet she continues to target her unfairly.

Rahi’s Doubts Confirm a Bigger Conspiracy

Back at the chawl, Rajini brings a glass of milk for Anupama. When Anupama refuses to drink turmeric milk, both Rahi and Rajini insist. Rajini tells Anupama that she is proud of her strength and that people love her genuinely. Sarita adds that Anupama has restored hope in their lives and has become a true inspiration. The dance ranis echo this sentiment, admiring her wholeheartedly. Bharti says they trust Anupama so deeply that they would even sign blank papers for her. While everyone praises Anupama, Rajini quietly begins forming a plan.

Anupama soon notices Rahi is disturbed and asks her what is troubling her. Rahi keeps thinking about the accident and looks uneasy. Anupama starts sensing something off about the light technicians. Preet then mentions that Rahi was supposed to be the showstopper, not Anupama. Hearing this, Rahi concludes that the mishap was not random, the actual target was Anupama. The group collectively realises that the accident was orchestrated. With suspicion growing, Anupama begins to think Kritika might be behind it and decides to confront her.

Kritika Admits Her Role in the Sabotage

When Anupama questions her, Kritika admits that she wanted to harm Anupama. She blames her for losing her job and confesses that she planned the sabotage out of frustration. Anupama lashes out, reminding Kritika that she herself backed out of the event earlier, which pushed Anupama to take leadership. Anupama points out that Kritika's insecurity has crossed every limit.

Kritika tries defending her actions, but Anupama reprimands her for not valuing people's lives and endangering Rahi, too. Rajini decides that Kritika must face legal consequences. Although Kritika gets scared for her future and apologises, Anupama says her apology is meaningless because she is only sorry after getting caught. She tells Rajini to call the police without any hesitation.

Gautam Holds Anupama Responsible Once Again

At another house, Gautam angrily accuses Anupama of putting Rahi at risk and even claims the accident was an attempt to gain publicity. Khyati immediately stands up for Anupama, saying divine intervention saved her. Vasundhara orders that Rahi and Prem should come back home and keep their distance from Anupama. Khyati refuses and says Anupama is like a mother to Rahi. Vasundhara shuts her down, telling her not to praise Anupama in front of her anymore. She then questions Gautam about what happened at Rajini's house.

Kritika is arrested soon after. Anupama speaks about the pain of betrayal, while Rajini prepares to leave for some urgent matter. Rahi suddenly grows restless because Prem's phone has been unreachable. Anupama consoles her. Rahi explains that Prem's neck chain got stuck before he left, and now she is getting a bad feeling. Anupama comforts her, asking her not to panic.

Prem Meets Varun

Elsewhere, Prem meets his childhood friend Varun. Varun boasts about his influence, bragging that his political background gives him enough power to handle anything with a single call. Prem's friend asks Varun to drop him home. Prem hesitates to get in the car, noticing that Varun seems drunk. Back in the chawl, Anupama and Rahi worry more as Prem still doesn't answer his phone.

Precap for the Next Episode

In the precap, Varun drives recklessly while Prem repeatedly asks him to slow down. Moments later, both are arrested for a hit-and-run case. Varun immediately blames Prem, even though Prem insists he wasn't driving. Anupama and Rahi are left shocked after hearing the news.
