Anupamaa: Raghav's proposal plan takes a dramatic turn as it comes to light in the most unexpected way

Tonight's Anupamaa episode commences on a cheerful note as Anupama tells Mahi to embrace happiness, especially since her haldi ceremony has been finalised. Mahi expresses her gratitude towards Anupama, and Ansh gets excited about the upcoming festivities. Concerned, Mahi checks on Ansh and asks if she's feeling alright. To cheer her up, Ansh decides to perform at the Haldi function.

Elsewhere, Anupama notices Raghav returning from a delivery and asks why he went alone. Raghav explains he had to complete some work late at night. Just then, Leela catches a glimpse of Anupama and Raghav together. Observing their closeness, she suspects there's more to their bond than mere friendship. She warns herself that if Anupama doesn't draw boundaries, this camaraderie might soon turn into a relationship. Meanwhile, Raghav notices Anupama in high spirits and, feeling encouraged, resolves to confess his love to her.

Preparations begin in full swing at the Kothari household for Mahi and Aryan's haldi ceremony. During the commotion, Rahi confronts Gautam and warns him to stay away from her loved ones. She points out that his recent attempt to harm Anupama failed miserably and praises Anupama for standing up to him. Rahi even adds that if it weren't for Aryan's pre-wedding events, she would have personally taught Gautam a lesson. Enraged by the insult, Gautam decides to find Anupama's weakest point to exact his revenge.

Later, Prem tries to flirt with Rahi, and she plays along, returning the flirtation. Meanwhile, Gautam continues to scheme, planning his next move against Anupama.

As Raghav makes arrangements to propose, he gathers his courage but struggles to express his feelings. At the same time, Anupama gets ready for Mahi's haldi, wanting to look her best and maintain a positive outlook. She reminds herself that life often brings unexpected joy.

Raghav lends a hand by repairing the kitchen and is momentarily awestruck seeing Anupama. He compliments her beauty and the kitchen setup. Anupama smiles and thanks him for both the fix and his kind words. She shares her belief that happiness should be embraced, as special moments can happen at times. Raghav agrees silently, still hesitant about sharing his heart.

Elsewhere, Aryan asks Moti Baa to attend his haldi function and assures her that Mahi won't cause any trouble. Moti Baa agrees to be part of the celebration. The haldi ceremony commences with much enthusiasm. While watching the function, Moti Baa silently thinks about finding a suitable bride for Raja.

Aryan expresses his appreciation and vows never to disappoint his family. He and Prem perform a lively dance for Khyati, spreading joy. The Shah family awaits the arrival of the Kotharis, who are bringing the ceremonial haldi for Mahi. When they arrive, Anupama is startled to see Gautam with them.

Raghav imagines confronting Gautam physically but controls his anger. Anupama encourages everyone to remain composed. Aryan, Raja, and Badshah are left behind as the rest proceed with Mahi's haldi rituals, which are completed with heartfelt warmth. Moti Baa then instructs the Shahs to begin preparations for the wedding and throws subtle jabs at them.

As Raghav serves drinks, Moti Baa mocks him for working under the Shahs, suggesting that no one else is willing to offer him a job except Anupama. Anupama doesn't stay silent and boldly defends Raghav. She tells Moti Baa that if she wants Raghav to work elsewhere, she must first clear the false charges that Pankhuri filed against him. Moti Baa questions why Raghav can't speak up for himself. Anupama replies with confidence, stating that he is her friend.

Later, frustrated by the taunts, Raghav loses his calm and blurts out his feelings for Anupama. Rahi, taken aback, overhears the sudden confession.
