Anupamaa: Prem grows anxious about Anupama and Rahi's face-off in the dance competition

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Anupama approaches Prem with concern, asking him what's troubling him. She shares her heartfelt desire to win the upcoming dance contest. Prem reassures her, expressing confidence in her victory. Anupama also mentions her hope of fulfilling the dreams of both Prem and Rahi, giving them her blessings. Despite his comforting words, Prem silently worries about the impending face-off between Anupama and Rahi. He keeps his concerns to himself, choosing not to disclose that the two women will be rivals in the competition. He prays silently, hoping for divine support to guide both Anupama and Rahi through the situation.

Elsewhere, Leela, along with Kinjal and Ansh, is busy searching for her precious antique kitchenware. Leela grows anxious over their sudden disappearance. Ansh suggests she may have misplaced them, but Leela insists she still has a sharp memory. Kinjal steps in to assist with the search. However, the real twist lies with Paritosh, who has secretly sold the antique items. At the shop, he instructs the vendor to ensure Leela never finds out what he's done.

Meanwhile, Sarita and Rita engage in a discussion with Anupama and Bharti about dance costumes. Anupama takes the lead, devising a strategy to manage the costume issue using limited resources. She inspires the other women to make do with what's available and not lose hope.

Rahi, on the other hand, runs into Prem. Noticing her nervousness, he inquires if everything is alright. Rahi admits to feeling anxious due to the magnitude of the competition. Prem, sensing her self-doubt, suggests she consider a change in choreography. Rahi feels uncertain about her team's chances. Prem encourages her to relax and assures her that she's capable of winning. When she asks if he truly believes her team will succeed, Prem tells her that her talent and blessings will lead her to victory. Later, Pari calls Rahi to check on the costume preparations.

Though Prem had always hoped to bridge the gap between Anupama and Rahi, he never imagined it would be through a rivalry. He prays once again, aware that only one will come out victorious.

Both teams, led by Anupama and Rahi respectively, gear up for the audition round. Rahi resolves to prove herself and step out from under Anupama's shadow, determined to win at any cost. Anupama, on the other hand, is motivated by the dreams of Sarita, Rita, Prem, and Anita and wants to win to honour their hopes.

Back at home, Leela stumbles upon her missing utensils and begins to suspect Toshu's involvement. Convinced he is responsible, she prepares to confront him. Meanwhile, Anupama stays focused on finishing the costume preparations. When Bharti urges her to take a break, Anupama refuses, saying that everyone else is putting in just as much effort, and she must lead by example.

Rahi again confides in Prem about her nervousness. This time, Prem reveals that he, too, is feeling anxious. Rahi curiously asks why, and Prem replies that it's because he knows how much this competition means to her.

Anupama's team gathers to rehearse for the audition. Manohar boosts their morale, while Rita's mother-in-law offers her support and encouragement to the group. Anupama leads the team with determination and hope.

On the other side, Rahi finds strength in the backing of Prem, Raja, Anil, and Parag. Parag offers her words of encouragement and wishes her the best in the contest. Rahi gratefully acknowledges his support. However, Vasundhara shows no interest in blessing Rahi's team. Meanwhile, Mahi shares a harsh prediction with Khyati, stating that Meeta's age and Pari's weight will bring Rahi's team down. Khyati agrees and even expresses her desire for Rahi's defeat.

Anupama motivates her team, reminding them of their hard work and the importance of giving their best in the competition.
