Anupamaa: Mahi's new beginning with Gautam headed for heartbreak as his true motive comes to light

Mahi and Gautam from Anupamaa

In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, the drama intensifies as emotions run high between the Shahs and the Kotharis. The episode opens with Anupama trying her best to pacify Vasundhara, urging her to forgive Pari by reminding her that children are bound to make mistakes at times.

Pari Faces Harsh Rejection

However, Vasundhara remains adamant and refuses to listen. Meeta joins in, claiming that Pari has failed both as a wife and as a daughter-in-law and firmly declares that she will never allow Pari back into Raja's life. When Rahi attempts to intervene, Vasundhara harshly silences her, telling her not to act like a perfect daughter when she's supposed to be a dutiful daughter-in-law. Anupama asks Rahi to remain quiet, while Pari breaks down and pleads for one more chance to prove herself.

Tensions Escalate Between the Families

Leela steps forward, appealing to Vasundhara to let go of her anger and show compassion, reminding her that Pari's heart is in the right place. Parag, however, cuts her off, saying that the situation has hurt their family deeply, too. He coldly adds that neither Pari nor Ishani deserve any sympathy. Meeta stands her ground, saying she has no intention of letting Pari return to Raja's life. Unable to take any more humiliation, Pari leaves in tears, heartbroken.

Mahi’s Bold Stand for Love

Anupama tries to calm the tension, asking the Kotharis to discuss things with patience and not make rash decisions. But Vasundhara shuts her down, insisting that it's their internal family matter and no outsider has the right to interfere. Mahi attempts to mediate between the two families, but Parag refuses to hear her out and abruptly announces that he won't accept Mahi and Gautam's relationship. When Mahi asks him for a reason, Khyati questions her bluntly, how could she even think of being with her own ex-brother-in-law?

Mahi boldly replies that Gautam is no longer a part of their family as he's an ex-son-in-law. Her declaration shocks everyone. Parag then declares that he has had enough and will now divide the family property so everyone can make their own decisions. Mahi asserts that her happiness lies with Gautam. Khyati, unable to believe her words, confronts her, asking how she could move on from Aryan so quickly. Mahi, holding back tears, admits that while she can never forgive Aryan for what he did, she also cannot live her life in loneliness.

Prem warns her that Gautam is deceiving her and that she's walking straight into his trap. Mahi stands her ground, defending Gautam and insisting that he has changed. She questions Vasundhara, asking why she brought Gautam back into their lives if he truly is as bad as they claim. If he is good enough to re-enter the house, Mahi argues, then he should also be good enough to marry her.

Accusations and Insults Fly

At this point, Meeta taunts the Shah family, saying it was a foolish decision to marry three daughters into the same household. She ridicules them further, calling Pari disrespectful, Rahi quarrelsome, and Mahi shameless. Her insults don't end there, she labels Ishani a manipulator and declares that the Kotharis no longer wish to have any connection with these women.

Vasundhara supports this statement, saying that the former Kothari daughters-in-law should never step into their home again.

Mahi and Gautam Confess Their Feelings

Vasundhara then turns to Gautam and demands to know his decision. Gautam looks at Mahi and asks her if she truly wants to be with him. Mahi, in an emotional confession, expresses her love for him in front of everyone. Gautam then turns to Anupama and asks for her blessings.

However, Anupama refuses, stating firmly that she cannot accept their alliance. Mahi tries to convince her, but Anupama explains that she can never approve of Gautam and asks her to seek permission from Parag, Khyati, or Vasundhara instead. She pleads with Parag to stop Mahi from making a mistake that could ruin her life.

A Shocking Approval from Vasundhara

In a shocking twist, Vasundhara suddenly agrees to Mahi and Gautam's marriage, leaving everyone, including the Shahs, stunned. She further declares that Pari and Ishani will not be allowed to attend the wedding. Amid the tension, Hasmuk announces that he will go ahead and make arrangements for the ceremony.

Gautam’s Sinister Intentions Revealed

Meanwhile, Gautam privately celebrates his victory. Smirking, he reveals his true intentions, this marriage is part of his revenge plan against the Shahs. He vows to make them pay for their actions, destroy Anupama's peace, and gain control over the Kothari mansion through Mahi.

Precap for the Next Episode

In the precap, Anupama discovers Varun's wicked plan and confronts him in anger, hitting him in defence. Ishani rushes to the scene and tells the Shahs that the man Anupama was hitting is the same person who had been threatening her all along.
