Anupamaa: Rahi shocks the Shahs with plans to remove Anupama's name from the business

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, tensions run high as Kinjal confronts Toshu about his behaviour. Toshu, in his frustration, lashes out, venting his anger over Rahi's belongings. His resentment grows deeper as he criticises Anupama for including Rahi as a partner in the business. When Rahi attempts to mediate, Toshu accuses her of overstepping boundaries and threatens to throw her out of the house. Kinjal adds fuel to the fire by questioning Rahi's qualifications, doubting her ability to take over Toshu's rightful place, given her incomplete education.

Toshu sharply declares that he cannot tolerate Rahi at the company just as he does at home. Rahi, maintaining her composure, challenges him to resign if he has such a problem. This only enrages Toshu further, and he demands that Rahi leave the house. However, Anupama steps in at the right moment, firmly asserting that Rahi will stay and instructing Toshu to return Rahi's belongings to their original place.

Toshu's frustration peaks, and he demands that Anupama remove him from the house rather than expect him to live under the same roof as Rahi. A disheartened Kinjal expresses regret over Anupama's decision to involve Rahi as a partner in their business.

Determined to ease the tension, Anupama starts gathering Rahi's belongings to help her settle in, but Rahi declines her assistance. While Rahi gathers her belongings that Toshu had scattered, Anupama spots a family drawing among her items. Curious and emotional, she questions if Rahi has held onto it for so long. Overcome by emotions, Rahi takes the drawing away and storms out. From a distance, Prem quietly watches the scene, reflecting on the intensity of the moment.

Meanwhile, Pakhi arrives home, and Anupama checks with Ishani if Pakhi has been informed about the situation. Pakhi learns that Anupama expects her to apologise to Rahi but refuses outright. Ishani manages to convince Pakhi to reconsider and apologise. However, when Pakhi approaches Rahi, the latter sets a condition, asking her to dispose of Toshu's things if she truly wishes to stay in the house. Toshu intervenes and warns Rahi to stay out of his business, but Rahi remains firm and asks him to prepare the account file.

On a different note, Prem bakes a cake for the family and finds himself imagining Rahi everywhere. Meanwhile, Pari interrupts his daydreaming. While talking to Prem, Pari remarks that Pakhi has wronged Rahi and praises Rahi as an exceptional dancer, even better than Mahi. Although Prem compliments Mahi, calling her a graceful dancer, Mahi feels elated overhearing this. After Pari leaves, Mahi begins to follow Prem, who is lost in thoughts of Rahi. He decides to cheer up Rahi by writing her name on a piece of paper. However, as he finishes writing, a call interrupts him. While answering the call, he accidentally erases the letter 'R' from her name.

While Prem is on the call, Mahi seizes the opportunity to enter the kitchen in his absence and notices the cake. Misinterpreting the situation, she assumes the cake is meant for her.

Later, Rahi shocks everyone by proposing a name change for Anu Ki Rasoi, suggesting it be renamed Anu aur Rahi Ki Rasoi. As the new board is hung outside, Rahi makes another shocking announcement, declaring her intention to eventually remove Anupama's name from the business. She shares her vision of renaming it Rahi Ki Rasoi in the future. Anupama appreciates the idea but reflects that Rahi is unaware the name "Anu Ki Rasoi" was inspired by Adhya. Rahi, however, is resolute about rebranding the business permanently.

Prem confronts Rahi, questioning if she seeks Anupama's attention by taking such actions. Rahi, however, brushes off his concerns and speaks rudely to him. Following their argument, Prem and Rahi go their separate ways. Prem resolves not to give the pastry to Rahi, only to be shocked later when he finds the plate empty. Unbeknownst to him, Pari has already taken the pastry to Rahi, claiming credit for making it.

Rahi enjoys the pastry and savours its taste, but her suspicions arise about Prem's involvement in baking it. Intrigued by his culinary skills, she decides to keep him close, believing his expertise could greatly benefit the restaurant. Meanwhile, Prem observes Rahi relishing the pastry and becomes increasingly captivated by her, unable to hide his admiration.

The following day, Mahi, under the impression that Prem baked the pastry for her, searches for it but is left disappointed when she can't find it. Meanwhile, Jhanki discovers Rahi's ambitious plans to expand the business, with Rahi determined to take it to greater heights. However, when Anupama intervenes, she emphasises prioritising customer trust over profit. This creates a disagreement, as Rahi argues that profit should come first. She points out that Toshu, being an MBA topper, has untapped potential that Anupama has failed to utilise.

Elsewhere, Prem wonders why Rahi hasn't acknowledged his pastry yet. Mahi, misinterpreting the situation, compliments the pastry, leaving Prem confused. He mistakenly believes Rahi gave the pastry to Mahi after tasting just one bite, which leaves him feeling disheartened. Later, Anupama asks Toshu to fetch spices, while Rahi continues advocating for profit-focused strategies in the business. However, Anupama firmly rejects her suggestions, asserting that quality will never be compromised under her watch.
