Anupamaa: Rahi urges Anupama to choose Mahi over her

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, Mahi interrupts an emotional hug between Prem and Rahi, forcefully pulling Rahi away and declaring that Prem belongs to her. She demands that Rahi stay away from him. Kinjal confronts Mahi, questioning whether she genuinely wants to marry Prem after everything that has occurred. Kinjal challenges Mahi, pointing out her apparent lack of self-respect.

Mahi, however, fires back, sarcastically questioning Kinjal's own self-respect by bringing up her decision to stay with Toshu instead of divorcing him long ago. This remark sparks a heated argument, with Toshu and Kinjal lashing out at Mahi for her audacity. This leads to a heated argument as Toshu and Kinjal lash out at Mahi. Leela intervenes, questioning Mahi's state of mind, but Mahi continues to accuse Rahi of manipulating Prem. Determined to marry him, she refuses to back down.

Anupama steps in and calmly asks Mahi to control herself. She turns to Rahi and inquires if she reciprocates Prem's feelings. This enrages Mahi further, and she accuses Anupama of always siding with others while neglecting her. Mahi laments that Anupama never supported her, especially when she was heartbroken. She asserts that Anupama has failed to act as a mother figure to her. Mahi recalls how she had stood by Anupama during tough times, but now feels betrayed.

The situation becomes even more chaotic when Prem takes responsibility for his actions. He apologises to everyone, admits his love for Rahi, and says he is ready to face any consequences. However, Mahi remains adamant, claiming that Prem still loves her and blames Rahi for coming between them. Rahi, feeling torn, asks Anupama to make a decision that they can all abide by. Anupama, overwhelmed by the situation, requests time to think. Hasmuk comments on how Anupama often finds herself caught in such dilemmas.

Anupama reflects on everything that has happened, realising she was unaware of the depth of Mahi and Rahi's feelings for Prem. She questions how, as a mother, she failed to notice the brewing conflict. Meanwhile, Prem tries to console Rahi, who remains distressed and expresses concern for Mahi's mental state. Ansh and Pari attempt to calm Mahi, but she remains agitated. Pakhi decides to intervene and speak to Mahi.

Elsewhere, Prem advises Rahi to let go of her guilt and stop blaming herself for the situation. Rahi, however, urges Prem to talk to Mahi, fearing she might take a drastic step. Prem, frustrated, asks Rahi if his happiness doesn't matter to her at all. Ultimately, he decides to wait for Anupama's decision, while Rahi resolves to approach Anupama herself.

Pakhi, on the other hand, manipulates Mahi by encouraging her to emotionally blackmail Anupama. She instigates Mahi against both Anupama and Rahi, further complicating the situation. Mahi, fueled by Pakhi's words, decides to ensure that Anupama chooses in her favour.

In a moment of despair, Anupama talks to Anuj's photo frame, expressing her helplessness and yearning for his presence. She feels burdened by the responsibility of making a decision for Mahi, Rahi, and Prem.

Rahi approaches Anupama, urging her to support Mahi and expressing her belief in Prem's selfless nature and his readiness to accept whatever decision Anupama makes, even if it favours Mahi. Rahi insists that Anupama prioritise Mahi's happiness, as she claims to want nothing for herself.

Anupama, however, challenges Rahi's reasoning, leaving her emotional. She highlights the struggles of living without a partner, using her own life as an example. Despite witnessing Anupama's daily hardships, Rahi's willingness to sacrifice her love surprises her. Anupama questions how she can allow such a decision when she knows both Rahi and Prem love each other deeply. Anupama questions whether sacrificing their love could genuinely bring happiness to both Mahi and herself.

Internally, Rahi thinks that to prevent Anupama from being torn between her and Mahi, she must step back from her relationship with Prem. With this in mind, Rahi pleads with Anupama to allow Mahi to marry Prem, believing that her sacrifice is necessary to ensure her sister's happiness.

Meanwhile, Prem approaches Mahi with folded hands, apologising sincerely for everything that transpired. He admits that he never anticipated the truth he tried to conceal would come out in this manner and expresses his regret. Prem confesses that after exchanging rings, he had resolved to honour the relationship for a lifetime.

To his surprise, Mahi reveals that she still loves him and is willing to forget all that has happened. She pleads with Prem to marry her, vowing to be a perfect partner. Prem is left shocked.

Rahi reflects on her fate and draws parallels with Anupama's life. She ultimately decides to let go of her love for Prem to ensure Mahi's happiness.

Mahi tries to convince Prem to choose her over Rahi, insisting that Rahi is unsuitable for him and incapable of fulfilling the roles of a good wife. As Prem grows uncomfortable and attempts to leave, Mahi desperately urges him to stay. Prem responds by stating that Anupama will decide the matter, and he will abide by her decision.

Undeterred, Mahi boldly suggests that Prem prepare to marry her, convinced that Anupama will support her. She believes she deserves her share of happiness and is confident in the outcome. The episode concludes with Anupama caught in a web of conflicting emotions while Rahi and Mahi eagerly await her verdict.
