Anupamaa: Rahi performs with her team keeping Anuj's presence alive on stage

Star Plus’ Anupamaa is heading towards an exciting dance competition where both Anupama and Rahi are leading their own teams. The story takes an emotional turn when Bharti meets with an accident and needs urgent surgery. With no money for her treatment, Anupama decides to participate in the Taal Se Taal Mila dance contest to raise funds.

She forms her team, the Dancing Ranis, and encourages others to join her. On the other side, Rahi also wants to take part in the same contest but initially struggles to gather participants, with only two students signing up at her academy. Eventually, she forms a team with the help of Pakhi, Meeta, and Pari.

Both teams successfully clear the first round of the competition. However, Anupama and Rahi are still unaware of each other’s participation. With no face-off yet, the suspense builds around how intense their next meeting could be.

In the upcoming episode of Anupamaa, the semi-final round of the dance competition begins. Anupama joins her team, stepping in to replace Sarita. With full energy and excitement, she places her hand in the centre and says the team name, Dancing Ranis. One by one, the rest of the team members place their hands over hers and chant their team motto together. They all cheer and raise their hands high in the air, full of enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, the Kothari and Shah families arrive at the venue and come face-to-face. However, none of them are aware that Anupama is also taking part in the same competition.

On stage, the host welcomes the audience and judges, announcing the start of the semi-final round of Taal Se Taal Mila. She calls out the first performer, Rahi Kothari and her team from Anuj’s Dance Academy.

Backstage, Anupama and her team are in the dressing room when they hear the announcement on the television. Anupama is stunned to hear Rahi’s name. As Rahi and her team begin their performance, Anupama is filled with nervousness. Her feet hesitate to move forward, and before anyone can react, she runs toward the stage area to watch the performance live.

Rahi’s performance unfolds beautifully, and they’ve even placed Anuj’s photo on one side of the stage as a tribute.

After the performance, Anupama questions Prem. She’s upset and asks why he didn’t tell her earlier that Rahi was also participating in the same competition.
