Anupamaa: Rahi and Mahi clash again, this time it's about Aryan

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Mahi voices her concerns about Aryan being treated like a stranger in his own home. She places the blame squarely on Rahi, accusing her of preventing Aryan from receiving the respect and place he deserves within the family. When Rahi tells Mahi to stay out of her personal matters, Mahi responds that since Khyati is currently staying with them, the topic is open for discussion. Rahi begins to regret extending an invitation to Mahi. However, Mahi firmly asserts that she has every right to visit her friend Aryan.

Rahi then questions how Mahi can trust Aryan so quickly, to which Mahi replies that sometimes, even a few moments are enough to understand someone's true nature. Meanwhile, Anupama steps in and urges Mahi to apologise to Khyati.

Later, Khyati inquires about the Kothari family, and Rahi brushes it off by saying everything is normal at their place. She then invites Khyati to attend an upcoming puja at the Kothari residence.

Elsewhere, Ishani secretly steals Leela's gold chain to fund her drug use. Rahi and Prem discover that Ishani is battling a substance abuse problem. Raghav shares crucial information about the drug peddlers with Anupama. Prem decides to dig deeper into the issue, while Raghav warns Anupama to be cautious and avoid confronting the dealers on her own. When Rahi questions Anupama on why Raghav is still around, Anupama explains that his help is valuable in handling Ishani's situation. Unbeknownst to them, Raghav overhears their conversation.

On another front, Kinjal informs Leela and Toshu that Gautam has taken control of her business. Leela advises Kinjal to tread carefully, warning that Gautam might try to oust her. Meanwhile, Pari demands her payment from Kinjal, who promises to arrange the money. Toshu remarks that Anupama is unnecessarily making enemies out of the Kotharis. Determined, Kinjal vows to stay vigilant.

Preparations for the puja begin at the Kothari house. Moti Baa reveals that Meeta has gone to her maternal home. Prem and Rahi arrive with Khyati for the ceremony, but Moti Baa refuses to give her blessings to Khyati. Prem attempts to calm Aryan by reminding him that Khyati is also his mother, but Aryan coldly walks away from her.

Back with Anupama, she makes a shocking discovery that not only Ishani but Kannu is also caught up in drug addiction. She finds out that the two girls had gone to meet someone at a café and decides to intervene. While the Kotharis continue with the puja rituals, Prem, Rahi, Prarthana, and Ansh stage a devotional play based on the life of Devaki Mata. The intent is to highlight the immense sacrifice Devaki made by giving up Krishna. Aryan, however, becomes enraged at Prem and Rahi, feeling triggered by the performance.

Anupama tracks down Ishani and Kannu with the drug dealers and manages to catch Ishani. She is appalled to see the drugs being sold so brazenly. The dealers attempt to manipulate Ishani into luring more girls by offering discounts in exchange.

Back at home, Aryan lashes out at Prem and Rahi, accusing them of unjustly comparing Khyati to selfless figures like Devaki or Yashoda, when in reality, she abandoned her biological child to raise her stepchildren. He holds Khyati responsible for his lost childhood and behaves disrespectfully towards her. Prem steps in to defend Khyati's dignity and instructs Ansh to take her away from the scene.

Meanwhile, Anupama is overcome with emotion as she recalls Anuj. The mounting pressure and responsibilities weigh heavily on her, and she breaks down, longing for his return. She resolves to handle everything—from Ishani's addiction to Mahi and Rahi's ongoing conflicts—on her own. Just then, Rahi contacts Anupama to inform her that Khyati is missing. The news leaves both women deeply concerned. Soon, the entire Kothari family is alerted about Khyati's disappearance, prompting Ansh and Anupama to begin their search for her.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Anupama discovers Khyati lying unconscious. At the Kothari house, Aryan humiliates the staff in front of his friends. When Rahi intervenes, Aryan's friends misbehave with her, prompting Rahi to slap one of them in anger.
