Anupamaa: Prem tricks Anupama and sneaks Mahi and her cousins away to a party

Anupamaa on Star Plus continues to lead the TRP charts with its emotional storytelling and complex family dynamics. Following a generational leap, the narrative focuses on Anupama and the Shah family in Ahmedabad, where Anupama still hopes to reunite with Anuj and their daughter, Adhya. Guided by Prem, she travels to Dwarka to offer a Morpankh as a vow for her daughter's return, unaware that Adhya, now living as Rahi in an orphanage, harbours deep resentment toward her. When they finally meet, Rahi harshly rejects Anupama, leaving her heartbroken.

However, a crisis at the orphanage forces Rahi to seek Anupama's help, agreeing to return with her only if the ashram is saved. After moving in with Anupama, Rahi faces challenges from the Shah family, including taunts from Leela, Pakhi, and Ishani about her appearance. Meanwhile, Prem develops feelings for Rahi, while Mahi finds herself drawn to Prem as well.

In the upcoming episode of Anupamaa, Ishani is filled with excitement upon learning about a party at Veda Farmhouse tonight. She extends the invitation to Ansh, Mahi, and Pari, who are equally thrilled. However, Mahi points out that it's Diwali, and their families will likely disallow them from attending a party instead of celebrating the festival. Overhearing this, Prem casually suggests they tell their families they're going to a friend's Diwali puja instead of the party to get their permission. Rahi, sitting nearby, is taken aback by Prem's idea of deceiving their families to attend the party.

As the night approaches and preparations for the party begin, Leela interjects, questioning the need for the children to take Rahi and Prem along to a friend's puja. Anupama mentions that Rahi and Prem are older than the kids and are responsible, so if they go together, she won’t have to worry about the four of them. Prem reassures Anupama that he will honour her trust and seeks her blessings while hinting to Ansh about successfully executing their plan. Anupama advises Prem to take care of himself and look out for everyone, warning them not to do anything that could break the elders' trust.

As the group gets ready, everyone except Rahi changes into their party attire, making her absence noticeable. A pressing question arises: is this all part of Prem's plan to teach the children a lesson, or is he genuinely taking them to the party under false pretences while lying to Anupama?

Highlights from tonight's episode:

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, Rahi grapples with Anupama's encouragement to prepare for Anuj's return, ultimately discarding the outfit Anupama gifted her.
