In tonight’s high-voltage episode of Anupamaa, the family dance competition continues to stir drama and emotional chaos. Rahi struggles to hold it together as both Khyati and Vasundhara turn up the heat, insisting that beating Anupama is the only acceptable outcome. At the same time, Mahi’s entry into Rahi’s team isn’t for support—it’s a calculated move for revenge. Amidst this storm, Parag quietly steps in to provide a much-needed emotional anchor for Rahi.
Rahi Buckles as the Pressure to Defeat Anupama Mounts
With the dance competition approaching fast, Rahi finds herself cornered emotionally. Khyati warns her that quitting now would only hand Anupama an easy win, which they cannot afford. Vasundhara echoes the sentiment, coldly reminding Rahi that her mother is now her biggest rival. They push her to use her inner turmoil as fuel to go all-in for the battle.
As rehearsals kick off for both teams, Vasundhara and Khyati begin a full-fledged campaign to garner public support for Rahi. Even Anil joins the social media mission to amplify her visibility. During a press conference, the narrative tension rises as Rahi is asked how it feels to face off against her own mother. Visibly shaken, she deflects the question with a cryptic remark questioning Anupama’s parenting. In contrast, Anupama calmly states that in this arena, Rahi is not her daughter but a fellow competitor. When Bharti brings up Rahi’s hurtful comments, Anupama gracefully responds, praising Rahi’s determination and noting that she has the full backing of Prem and the Kotharis.
Mahi’s Infiltration: A Calculated Move to Settle an Old Score
While Rahi battles anxiety, Mahi makes her move by slyly telling Khyati that Rahi might not be strong enough to take on Anupama, subtly pitching herself as the better choice. Continuing her act of concern for the family’s image, she suggests replacing Neha or Riya with her in the team—not for fame, of course, but for the “greater good.” Hook, line, and sinker—Khyati falls for it. Eager to defeat Anupama, she agrees and plans to use a fake excuse about a teammate falling ill to justify Mahi’s sudden inclusion.
Once alone, Mahi reveals her true intent: revenge. She holds Anupama responsible for Aryan’s death and vows to make her pay. She’s convinced that whether Rahi wins or loses, she’ll benefit—either by seeing Anupama fail or by driving a wedge deeper between Rahi and Prem. It’s a win-win for her twisted scheme.
Rahi Breaks Down, Parag Steps Up, and Tensions Rise at Every Corner
As Rahi’s mental health takes a nosedive, she collapses under the pressure, causing panic among the Kotharis. Prem pleads with Vasundhara and Khyati to stop using the competition as a battleground, but Rahi lashes out at him, accusing him of pretending to care. Parag, sensing her distress, goes to meet Rahi and offers emotional reassurance. Meanwhile, when Mahi tries to cozy up to Prem, Pari steps in, handing her a coffee duty slip and a warning glance.
Elsewhere, Ansh and Prarthana prepare to introduce their relationship to Anupama. Prarthana is worried about Gautam’s potential interference, but Ansh promises to stand by her no matter what. At home, Pari checks in on Rahi, who still struggles with self-doubt. Parag decides to meet Anupama—his unexpected move leaving her visibly stunned.
Khyati, however, remains unmoved despite Vasundhara’s growing concern. She insists Rahi must not back down now—not when they’re so close to taking down Anupama.
In the precap, Anupama and Rahi cross paths at a temple. Rahi, visibly agitated, speaks out harshly, but Anupama maintains her poise and reminds her to remain respectful in a sacred place. The scene ends with Anupama challenging Rahi directly—setting the stage for an emotionally charged showdown.
