Anupamaa: Raghav to apply SINDOOR on Anupama? Leela believes he will, after placing a bindi on her

Tonight's Anupamaa episode opens with Ishani and Ansh requesting Anupama to take a seat. Curious, Anupama asks them about the reason behind the festive decorations. The kids reveal that they've arranged a celebration especially for her. At the Shah residence, the family decides to make the day more special by playing games. Unexpectedly, Raghav joins them. Toshu shares that he invited Raghav to participate in the festivities. However, Leela doesn't take his arrival well and seems disturbed.

Meanwhile, Mahi remains lost in thoughts about Anupama and Aryan. On the other side, Aryan confides in Khyati, admitting that Mother's Day once brought him sorrow, making him feel incomplete without a mother. He acknowledges his past mistakes and expresses regret for not appreciating Khyati enough.

Elsewhere, Prem announces that the family is finally celebrating Mother's Day together. Parag then proposes that Prarthana and Gautam should relocate to London and establish his business. However, Prem and Rahi interrupt, stating that Prarthana doesn't feel secure around Gautam and refuses to go. Parag argues that he will make the final call, but Prem reminds him that the decision should be Prarthana's alone.

Prarthana firmly declines the proposal to go with Gautam. This prompts Parag to accuse Anupama of influencing her and urges Prarthana to reconsider rebuilding her relationship. Parag even sets a deadline of 25 days for Gautam and Prarthana to leave for London. Moti Baa encourages Prarthana to give the relationship a fresh beginning, while Gautam pleads for another chance.

Back at the Shah house, the family engages in a game where a blindfolded Raghav wins by placing a bindi on the forehead of Anupama’s standee. Leela is relieved that things stopped at the bindi, as she believes Raghav is ready to put sindoor on Anupama. Raghav then wishes Leela a Happy Mother's Day, acknowledging his late mother, and Anupama feels hopeful that he'll soon win everyone's affection.

When Anupama notices Mahi is missing, Pari informs her that Mahi is upset and doesn't want to participate. Soon after, Rahi and Prem extend their Mother's Day wishes to Anupama. Meanwhile, Mahi, feeling neglected, resents Anupama's happiness and accuses her of putting on a façade. At the Kothari household, Moti Baa advises Parag to not ignore Aryan in future plans.

Parag soon learns about Rahi and Prem visiting the Shahs and questions whether the rift between Rahi and Anupama has been resolved. Vasundhara responds that she still can't figure Anupama out.

The Shahs continue the Mother's Day celebration, but things take a tense turn when Anupama discovers Mahi is nowhere to be found. Mahi calls her and requests an urgent, private meeting. Choosing not to alarm the family, Anupama keeps this to herself. When Rahi inquires about her whereabouts, Anupama lies about attending a meeting. Rahi suspects Mahi's involvement and questions Anupama, who continues to hide the truth.

Meanwhile, Khyati is deeply anxious as Aryan has been missing since morning. She fears she might lose both Aryan and Mahi. At the Kothari house, Parag confronts Gautam, warning him not to accuse Prarthana of mental instability and urging him to stop causing her pain. He makes it clear that he'll be monitoring Gautam's behaviour. Gautam assures him of his intentions, and Parag reluctantly places his trust in him.

However, behind closed doors, Gautam's real motive comes to light—he plans to torment Prarthana emotionally in order to seize control of the Kothari business.

Back in the Shah house, Leela questions Pakhi's financial contributions. Pakhi shifts the responsibility to Ishani, stating she earns on her behalf. Pakhi then plans to send Ishani to the Kothari mansion. But things take a shocking turn when Ishani, Leela, and Pakhi hear a voice message from Raja. Ishani is taken aback and flatly refuses to marry him.

On the other hand, Rahi feels that Anupama is facing emotional turmoil because of Mahi. The situation escalates when Anupama finds out that Mahi and Aryan intend to marry secretly, without informing anyone. Mahi reveals that she called Anupama not for her opinion, but to take her blessings for the wedding.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Anupama pleads with Mahi to return home. Despite her efforts, Mahi and Aryan move ahead with their wedding plans in Anupama's presence. When Anupama tries to stop them, Mahi issues a shocking warning—she threatens to take her own life if Anupama dares to interfere.
