Anupamaa: Society takes a dig at Anu, questions how she finds MULTIPLE MEN even at THIS AGE

Tonight's Anupamaa episode opens with Ansh noticing Anupama carefully sorting mint leaves. He questions her, wondering why she is doing such a small task herself. Anupama calmly responds, asking what is wrong with her doing it. Ansh admits that he simply loves the chutney she prepares, which makes Anupama smile. She explains that a homemaker’s role is to always look after her family’s needs. Meanwhile, Banku and Digvijay decide not to disturb the moment between them. However, Ansh insists they both join him to step out and explore the surroundings. He asks Digvijay how he is finding Ahmedabad, and Digvijay responds with a quiet smile. Banku then chooses to stay back and help Anupama, encouraging Digvijay to accompany Ansh instead.

Anupama also nudges Ansh to take Digvijay along. As they leave, Ansh offers Digvijay a chance to ride the scooty. During their outing, they come across two reckless boys speeding on a scooty, which irritates Ansh. He reacts impulsively, but Digvijay stops him from getting into a confrontation. Back at home, Banku checks on Anupama and asks if her foot is better. She assures him that she is fine. When Banku brings up Rahi, Anupama becomes emotional, lost in thoughts about her.

Elsewhere, Prerna urges Prem to accept Shruti’s investment offer for the café. Rahi clarifies that she never asked Shruti to invest, but both she and Prerna continue persuading Prem. Despite their efforts, Prem refuses, stating he has no intention of opening a café or restaurant. Determined, Rahi and Prerna decide they will convince him somehow.

Meanwhile, Ansh takes Digvijay around the local market, helping him experience the city. Digvijay reflects on his past and admits that his experiences had made him believe the world is a negative place, but spending time here is changing his perspective. The two begin to form a strong bond.

At the same time, Vasundhara discusses plans with Shruti about consulting an astrologer to finalize an auspicious date for the café launch. Shruti says everything depends on Prem agreeing first. Vasundhara expresses her belief that Prem will come around, adding that Anupama has hurt him deeply and now he needs to move forward. Rahi then introduces Prerna to Shruti. Prerna expresses gratitude for Shruti’s support and confidently assures her that Prem will accept the proposal. Shruti, however, grows suspicious, questioning why Prerna seems to have more authority over Prem than Rahi, and decides to look into it.

In another moment, Jaya is seen happily playing with bubbles. Ishani tells Digvijay that their restaurant is gaining attention on social media. Banku reacts awkwardly on seeing Ishani, but Digvijay encourages him to let go of the past, reminding him that Ishani has apologized several times. Soon, Anupama, Ansh, Ishani, Digvijay, and Jaya share some cheerful moments together.

On the other hand, Aarav and Vihaan visit Prem and deliberately provoke him against Anupama. Vihaan claims that Anupama is planning to open a café targeting him, which angers Prem. Taking advantage of his emotions, Vasundhara manipulates him further, pushing him toward revenge. In a heated state, Prem finally agrees to accept Shruti’s offer. Rahi senses that his decision is being driven by anger and feels uneasy. Vasundhara later reveals that she had intentionally called Aarav and Vihaan to instigate Prem, pleased that her plan has worked. Shruti adds that she has already chosen a unique location for their café, leaving Vasundhara satisfied as she sees it as a step toward getting back at Anupama.

Meanwhile, a few women in the society notice Anupama spending time with Digvijay and begin questioning Leela about him. One of them asks whether Digvijay is also staying at Anupama’s house. Another woman takes a sarcastic tone, mentioning that her own granddaughter is already 25 and she is struggling to find a suitable match for her, yet Anupama seems to find someone at every stage of her life. She mockingly lists the men from Anupama’s past—Vanraj, Anuj, Raghav—and now points at Digvijay as the “new addition.”

The women go on to pass snide remarks, saying that Anupama and Digvijay look good together and even taunt Leela by asking if she is planning Anupama’s third marriage as well. Unable to tolerate their accusations and disrespect, Leela gets upset and walks away from the situation.

Elsewhere, Shruti continues to wonder about Prerna’s unusual involvement, while Vasundhara thanks Shruti for helping fulfill Prem’s dream. She remarks that Shruti seems to care deeply for Rahi, to which Shruti responds that Vasundhara’s concern for Prem is equally strong.

Later, Banku notices Anupama preparing an evil eye charm and asks about it. Anupama explains that she is making it for the café. When Banku questions why she is making two, Anupama reveals that one is meant for Rahi and Prem’s café as well. Despite everything, she sincerely hopes that Prem’s venture succeeds and begins soon.

In the precap, Leela warns that society will continue to judge Anupama if she is seen spending time with Digvijay. However, Anupama receives firm support from Ansh, Hasmuk, Kinjal, and Ishani. She declares that nothing and no one can stop her from pursuing her café dream. In a dramatic turn, Prem confronts Anupama and throws a challenge at her. He accuses her of taking away his happiness and vows that he will now destroy her success at any cost.
