Anupamaa: Rahi haunts Anupama in dreams, calls her a loser

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, the atmosphere lights up as Sarita, Bharti, and Preet perform a graceful dance, leaving Anupama delighted. However, the joy takes a serious turn when Anupama learns that Sarita had once dreamed of becoming a dancer herself but had to abandon her passion due to pressure from her husband and in-laws. This revelation leaves Anupama deeply moved.

Meanwhile, tension brews in the household as Khyati expresses her displeasure over Rahi starting a dance academy at home. Parag comes to Rahi's defence, questioning why Khyati has a problem whether Rahi steps out or stays in. Their argument escalates, with Parag pointing out the unfairness of Khyati's constant complaints. Mahi raises concerns about the lack of privacy at home with students coming in and out, but Prem assures her that a separate entrance has already been arranged. Khyati, however, insists that Parag and Prem explain everything clearly to Moti Baa.

Back at the academy, Anupama is surprised again when Preet opens up about her own aspirations to become a dancer. She shares her excitement about an upcoming National Dance Competition, hoping to find a reputed choreographer who can help her win the prize money and chase her dreams. Bharti laughs it off, calling her obsession crazy, but Preet defends herself, saying there's nothing wrong with turning her passion into a profession. Anupama is left speechless at the girl's determination.

Elsewhere, Rahi confides in Anuj's photo, expressing how happy she is to have her own dance academy. When Prem suggests she should thank Anupama for her support, Rahi dismisses the idea, saying it would ruin her mood. She also mentions that she never imagined her bond with Parag would grow this strong. To her surprise, Prem reveals he's registered her for the National Dance Competition. Rahi feels nervous about performing on stage, but Prem encourages her to believe in herself.

Later, Anupama expresses her emotions through a heartfelt dance. As she gets lost in the performance, she imagines a dream-like scenario where she and Rahi come face-to-face in a dance battle. The dream takes an emotional turn when Rahi begins pointing out how, despite Anupama’s many wins on stage, she has always struggled in her personal relationships — whether as a mother, wife, or daughter. Rahi tells her that she has become exactly what Toshu and Pakhi used to accuse her of being — a looser. She is told she can neither win in dance nor in life. Jolted by these painful thoughts, Anupama wakes up feeling uneasy and anxious. Determined to avoid criticism, Rahi tries to finish her work quickly. However, Moti Baa taunts her again for running a dance academy from home and refuses her help in the kitchen. Khyati adds fuel to the fire, blaming Anupama for disturbing their lives and now Rahi for continuing that chaos. Prem gently advises Rahi to ignore the noise and stay focused on her passion. Mahi, witnessing Prem's support for Rahi, is left surprised.

At the same time, the women appreciate Anupama's catering services and cheer for Sarita's dance. Sarita shares that dancing was her childhood dream. Bharti then informs Anupama and Preet that Sumit, her fiancé, is coming to visit. Meanwhile, Preet reminds Anupama to arrange for the rent to avoid being evicted by the landlord. Anupama decides it's time to speak to Hasmuk about their situation.

In the Shah house, Leela questions Hasmuk about Anupama, but he refuses to discuss anything. He confronts her by asking why everyone is after Anupama's money when they don't even like her presence. Kinjal gets ready for her first day at a new job, seeks blessings from Leela and Hasmuk, and fondly remembers Anupama. Anupama then calls Hasmuk, and he informs her about Toshu. Meanwhile, Pakhi overhears Hasmuk talking to Anupama and looks on.
