Anupamaa: Raghav SAVES Rahi’s life from danger and she learns about his DARK PAST

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, Kartik introduces Anupama and Rahi as dance instructors to the inmates, instructing them to treat the teachers with respect. Anupama decides to start with simple dance steps and encourages the prisoners to dance like Lord Krishna.

Rahi initially steps aside, suggesting that Anupama should continue alone, but Anupama insists that she remain nearby. As Anupama leads the session, Raghav begins playing the mouth organ, which unsettles her. She grows anxious upon noticing him and becomes concerned about Rahi's safety.

Meanwhile, Rahi appreciates Raghav's musical talent and introduces herself. She even encourages him to participate, but Raghav responds with an intense gaze, leaving her startled. He moves toward her as she, filled with fear, begins stepping backwards. Without warning, he pulls Rahi close, causing her to panic. Anupama rushes in to protect Rahi and sternly warns Raghav against touching her daughter. However, Raghav clarifies that he pulled Rahi aside to save her life. The constable confirms his statement, proving his intentions were not harmful. Before leaving, Raghav apologises to them, explaining that his intention was to save her, not to frighten her.

Elsewhere, Kartik oversees his workers as they repair a wire. Anupama, reflecting on her earlier reaction, feels guilty for misjudging Raghav. She later confronts Rahi for wandering alone in the prison, leading Rahi to apologise. Rahi also warns Anupama to maintain her distance from Raghav, sensing danger in him. Later, Rahi discovers that Raghav is imprisoned for allegedly killing his wife, further deepening her concern. She urges Anupama once more not to visit the prison alone. Although Anupama reassures Rahi, she remains deep in thought.

At home, Leela confronts Pakhi regarding her insistence on getting Ishani married to Raja. She points out that the Kotharis hold conservative beliefs, which may not be suitable for Ishani. Kinjal reminds Pakhi that Anupama is already handling the situation. However, Pakhi remains firm on her decision, accusing Kinjal and Leela of being indifferent to Ishani's happiness. Kinjal advises Pakhi not to pressure Ishani into marriage, but Pakhi refuses to back down, believing she knows what is best for her daughter. Leela, tired of the conflicts, wishes for peace in the family.

Meanwhile, Kinjal warns that the Kotharis may never truly accept Ishani. In another development, Prem shifts to his new house. Ishani, Pari, and Ansh step in to help him settle, with Badshah, Prarthana, and Raja also joining in. Although Prem keeps his distance from Prarthana, she approaches him, attempting to mend their strained relationship. She pleads with him not to stay upset and tries to explain her perspective. Additionally, she apologises to Ansh. Meanwhile, Ansh seeks the assistance of Badshah, Raja, and Prarthana. Later, Prem discovers that the three of them lied to Moti Baa to meet him. Badshah justifies the lie, saying even elders sometimes resort to dishonesty. However, Prem stands firm in his belief that lying to elders is unacceptable.

Meanwhile, Anupama discusses the progress of the prison dance program with Kartik. Kartik advises her to maintain a professional stance and not let emotions cloud her judgment. He warns her against showing sympathy toward Raghav, emphasising that it would only bring her pain.

Back at Prem's house, he busies himself decorating his new home. Meanwhile, Ishani confesses to Raja that she cannot imagine a life without him. Raja assures her that he will speak to his family and promises to marry her. However, Ishani feels conflicted. She worries that Pakhi's pressure is forcing her into a situation where she might unintentionally deceive Raja.

On the other hand, Gautam advises Moti Baa to stop hoping for Prem's return. Khyati, visibly upset, holds Moti Baa responsible for Prem's departure. Moti Baa, devastated, pleads with Parag to bring Prem back, declaring that she cannot live without him. Parag consoles her, offering his support.

Meanwhile, Rahi enjoys spending time with Prem, Ishani, Badshah, Raja, Pari, and Ansh. However, Mahi becomes furious upon seeing Prem and Rahi together. At the same time, Parag questions Khyati about her silence regarding the situation. Khyati simply responds that silence is sometimes the best choice. She continues to blame Moti Baa for everything that has unfolded. Parag, however, remains determined to bring Prem back, unwilling to let go of his efforts. Khyati advises him against forcing Prem to return, but Parag remains unwavering in his decision.
