Anupamaa: Prem ruins Mahi's mehendi, leaving Rahi with his name on her hand

Anupamaa on Star Plus, featuring Rupali Ganguly as Anupama, Adrija Roy as Rahi, Shivam Khajuria as Prem, and Spreha Chatterjee as Mahi, continues to delve into the love triangle that remains hidden from the family. After discovering Mahi's intense feelings for Prem, Anupama has been struggling to keep up. Now that Prem is ready to give Mahi a chance, Mahi pushes for their quick engagement, fearing that Rahi might intervene. Meanwhile, Rahi quietly sacrifices her love for Mahi despite being deeply hurt.

In a recent precap, Baa arranges for a pandit to read Mahi and Prem's palms and set an auspicious date for their engagement. However, the situation takes an unexpected turn when Mahi learns from the pandit that they are not a compatible match and that maintaining distance would be better for both. In a private moment, the pandit confides in Anupama that Rahi is the perfect match for Prem, and their bond could mirror that of Ram and Sita.

In the upcoming episode of Anupamaa, preparations for Mahi and Prem's engagement begin at the Shah house, with Mahi expressing doubts about the pandit's honesty.

Meanwhile, Prathna, who is suspected to be Prem's real sister, arrives at the kitchen to meet Anupama and Prem. Upon seeing her, Anupama shares the news of Prem's upcoming engagement to Mahi, scheduled for the next day. Anupama invites Prathna to attend the ceremony, but as she leaves after receiving a call from Baa, Prem confronts Prathna about her unannounced visit. Prathna questions him about the engagement, to which he responds that it's not something he's choosing, but something he has to do. She pleads with him to reconsider, but their conversation is overheard by Rahi, leaving her shocked.

On engagement day, Mahi asks Rahi to apply mehendi on her hands and specifically write Prem's name. Despite her inner turmoil, Rahi complies, and Mahi admires it, saying that Prem's name is now etched not only in her heart but also on her hands. Just then, Prem arrives and, in a stumble, accidentally falls onto Mahi's chair. This causes Mahi's hand to touch Rahi's, transferring the mehendi onto Rahi's hand. This unexpected moment creates panic for Mahi, heightening the tension.

Recently, India Forums reported that Mahi will accuse Rahi of intentionally not removing Prem's name from her hand. This leads to a heated argument, with Mahi angrily grabbing a marker and covering up the name. Rahi is left hurt as she watches Mahi destroy the name she once held dear. In a moment of vulnerability, Rahi's inner voice encourages her to face the truth and move on from her feelings.
