Anupamaa: Prem opens up to Pari about his feelings for Rahi

Tonight's episode starts with Ansh receiving a call from Saloni, who has been persistently trying to reach him. When he finally answers, she confronts him about ignoring her calls. Ansh clarifies that he has already done everything he could to assist with the restaurant and insists he can't do anything further, urging her to stop. However, Saloni demands he comply with her requests, threatening to involve his family if he refuses. Ansh, now anxious, tries to reason with her, but she abruptly ends the call, leaving him deeply worried.

Pari offers chocolate to Prem, but he declines to eat it. Concerned, she points out that he hasn't eaten anything since morning and asks if he is fasting. When he requests her not to tell anyone, she agrees on the condition that he reveals who the fast is for. Prem confesses that he is fasting for Pari's sister. Overhearing their conversation, Mahi mistakenly assumes that Prem's fast is for her. However, Prem later shows Pari a picture of Rahi, revealing his true feelings.

Meanwhile, Rahi is busy serving tea and coffee to the workers. Anupama and Janaki exchange glances, and Anupama advises Rahi to head home and oversee the stage arrangements. Rahi reassures her that she has experience handling such tasks, having done similar work in Dwarka. She adds that her current priority is to focus on her responsibilities and achieve profitability. Anupama reminds her that mistakes can't be corrected in a single day and that persistence and patience are key to success. Rahi acknowledges her words and leaves with a parcel to deliver. On her way, she accidentally bumps into Prem, apologises quickly, and walks away. Watching her leave, Prem prays to Lord Ram, hoping to be united with his Sita.

Later, Anupama asks Prem if all preparations are complete. He confirms everything is in order and inquires about Rahi's whereabouts. Anupama explains that Rahi has gone to deliver a parcel and adds that Rahi hasn't eaten since morning, just like Prem. Hearing this, Prem feels overjoyed.

As the event begins, Anupama and the others take their seats. Prem, dressed as Ram, once again prays, asking Lord Ram to bring Rahi into his life as his Sita. Meanwhile, Mahi prepares to play Sita and expresses her desire to be with Prem. Anupama steps on stage to introduce the performance, narrating the significance of Ram and Sita's marriage. She recounts the story of Sita's swayamvar and explains the cultural importance of Vivah Panchami before leading the audience in a chant of "Siya Ram ki Jai."

Prem, stepping outside, spots both Rahi and Mahi. Rahi, noticing Mahi's need for additional safety pins, hands them to her and compliments her appearance. Prem quietly walks away. Suddenly, Mahi feels faint, and Rahi expresses concern. Mahi attributes her weakness to fasting. Rahi refrains from offering lemonade, citing Mahi's fast, and casually asks if Mahi is in love with someone. Mahi dismisses the idea.

As the play commences, Pari muses that Rahi would have made a better Sita. Sensing Mahi's unease, Pari covers her face with a veil. Mahi, feeling weak again, stumbles, prompting Pari to intervene. To everyone's surprise, Rahi appears on stage as Sita.

Moments earlier, Mahi had fainted, and Pari had convinced Rahi to take her place to save the play. Though hesitant, Rahi eventually agreed and prepared herself for the role.

In the present, the audience is taken aback by Rahi's appearance as Sita. Shahs accuse her of stealing Mahi's spotlight, but Anupama silences them, standing up for Rahi. Prem, seeing Rahi as Sita, feels elated and resumes the play with renewed enthusiasm.

The song "Ram Siya Ram" plays in the background as Rahi, now in character, approaches Prem with a garland. Just as the scene unfolds, Mahi regains consciousness and arrives at the venue. Seeing Rahi and Prem on stage together, she becomes upset and questions Pari about the situation. Pari explains everything to her.

On stage, Rahi completes the act by placing the garland around Prem's neck, symbolising their union. Witnessing this, Mahi, overwhelmed with emotion, leaves the venue.
