Anupamaa: Rahi's heart softens as Parag shows fatherly affection towards her

In tonight's Anupamaa episode, Mahi asks Prem whether he prefers the onion to be chopped or sliced. However, Prem completely ignores her. Concerned, Mahi questions Prem about his mood, trying to understand why he seems upset. She assumes that Rahi is the reason behind Prem's condition.

Prem clarifies that his frustration stems from the Kothari family and has nothing to do with Rahi. He even refers to Rahi as a problem solver. Prem then inquires about Rahi's whereabouts from Jhanki. Jhanki informs him that Rahi has gone to the temple and advises Mahi to focus on her own life instead of worrying about others. Mahi is left stunned by Jhanki's words.

Meanwhile, Khyati approaches Rahi and requests her to convince Prem to return. She also asks Rahi to keep their conversation a secret from Prem. Elsewhere, Prem arrives at the temple, where Khyati quickly hides upon seeing him. Curious, Prem questions Rahi about visiting the temple so early in the morning. Rahi responds that she has come to pray for everyone's well-being.

On the other hand, Anil assures Moti Baa that he will talk to Prem and resolve the situation. However, Moti Baa expresses her doubt, stating that Anil is incapable of fixing anything. Meeta chimes in, pointing out that even Moti Baa has failed to do anything about the matter. Khyati then interrupts, expressing her belief that Rahi will succeed in bringing Prem back home. Parag challenges her optimism, asking if she is certain about Rahi's ability to convince Prem. Khyati, as a mother, remains hopeful. However, Parag warns that if Rahi attempts to take Prem away from them, he will ensure Anupama and Rahi's downfall.

Meanwhile, Jhanki advises Anupama to step away from Anu Ki Rasoi until the wedding is over. However, Anupama refuses, explaining that Anu Ki Rasoi is close to her heart and cannot be abandoned.

Rahi arrives at the Kothari mansion after receiving a call from Moti Baa, who wants her to familiarise herself with their customs before the upcoming ritual. At the same time, Moti Baa instructs Rahi to observe the household and understand their traditions. She also tells Khyati to assist Rahi in the process. Prem is taken aback when he finds out that Moti Baa had called Rahi. Anupama urges him to remain calm, but Prem grows restless and decides to follow Rahi. Anupama informs him that Moti Baa had specifically called Rahi alone, which further fuels Prem's anger.

Later, Khyati takes Rahi to Prem's room and asks her to choose the interior design, assuring her that she can take her time while she notes down the details. Before leaving, Khyati subtly urges Rahi to convince Prem. Meanwhile, Prem calls Rahi and directly confronts her about the situation.

Elsewhere, Parag questions Moti Baa's decision, wondering what difference it would make by showing Rahi the house. Moti Baa confidently states that change is bound to happen. As Rahi arrives, Moti Baa immediately asks if she has explored the house and finalised the list. Rahi responds that she has only made rough notes so far but will soon prepare the final version. Moti Baa then warmly tells her that she should focus on becoming Prem’s bride soon, as she will be responsible for managing the household while Prem handles the business. Hearing this, Rahi suddenly gets hiccups.Meanwhile, Prem grows impatient when Rahi does not answer his call. Determined to find out what’s happening, he video calls Badshah, who gives him a glimpse of the situation at the Kothari house. To everyone’s surprise, Parag unexpectedly steps forward and offers Rahi a glass of water to help with her hiccups. His unexpected gesture brings joy to those around, especially Rahi. As Parag’s hand briefly brushes past her head while asking her to take care of herself, a soft smile appears on Rahi’s face.

Following this, Rahi returns to Anupama and Prem, who immediately ask her what transpired at the Kothari house. Rahi remarks that the Kothari family is not just about conflicts. She then advises Prem to take charge of the Kothari business. However, Prem announces that he has decided to live separately after marriage.

Anupama urges Rahi to balance her responsibilities by caring for Prem's emotions while also handling the Kothari family. She encourages Rahi to cherish the first wedding ritual. Meanwhile, Anupama grows anxious about how Prem and Rahi's first ritual will unfold. Leela warns Anupama that their family will appear insignificant in front of the Kotharis, further stressing her out. Later, Moti Baa declares that the ritual will be conducted at the Kothari house, leaving the Shah family in shock.
