Anupama falls unconscious moments before the finale in Anupamaa

In tonight’s episode of Anupamaa, the competition takes a dramatic turn as team selections and unexpected twists keep everyone on edge.

The episode begins with Rahi making her choice for the performance. She pairs Devika with Dipa and, on Kunal’s request, adds Meeta to complete the team.

Meanwhile, Anupama strategizes differently. She feels the opposition needs to face someone who can give them a tough time and deliberately picks Pakhi as her team’s participant. Hasmukh notices this bold move and tells Manohar that Anupama never backs down from a challenge, no matter how big.

Anupama exposes Pakhi

Kunal warns both groups to be fully prepared since the task ahead will not be an easy one. Before the performance begins, Anupama advises Devika and Dipa to remain cautious and not lose their balance on the stool. At the same time, Gautam smirks and comments that his actual game hasn’t even started yet.

The dance face-off begins with Devika, Dipa, Meeta, and Pakhi performing together. During the act, Pakhi attempts to sabotage Dipa by trying to make her fall. After the round, Anupama reveals the real reason behind including Pakhi in her team.

She explains that it was important for everyone to witness Pakhi’s manipulative behavior firsthand so they could learn how to tackle such negativity in the future. Meanwhile, Prarthana notices Gautam’s constant focus on Anupama and shares her discomfort with Ansh. This unsettles Ansh, who grows restless watching Gautam’s actions.

Anupama’s smart move

The next challenge features Anupama teaming up with Preet, Rahi, and Mahi. Vasundhara observes this new lineup and remarks that now the competition is set to become truly interesting.

Leela, on the other hand, urges Anupama to crush the arrogance of the Kothari family with her performance. Devika, however, expresses concern about Preet dancing with one hand tied and questions Anupama’s decision.

Anupama reassures her, saying Preet deserves an opportunity to rebuild the confidence she lost in her previous attempt. Devika realises Anupama has also taken the bold step of performing one-handed for a deeper reason.

Rahi and Mahi stumble on stage

The dance commences, but midway, Rahi and Mahi lose balance and fall on stage. Despite the mishap, Anupama’s performance with one hand receives immense praise from the judges, who applaud her strength and determination.

On the sidelines, Gautam mutters ominously that Anupama may be flying high now, but he is waiting for the perfect moment to clip her wings. Anupama dedicates her act to mothers everywhere, saying a mother can juggle responsibilities with one hand while carrying her child in the other, and that this is a true victory for womanhood.

Anupama and Rahi face their next big challenge

Kunal consoles a disappointed Rahi by reminding her that several rounds are still left and the final winner will be decided only at the end.

However, he then makes a shocking announcement, the audience has voted, and they want to see only Rahi and Anupama perform in the grand finale. Rahi objects, arguing that this was supposed to be a group dance, but Kunal insists that the public’s demand must be respected.

Meanwhile, Gautam seizes the moment and declares that it is time to put his sinister plan into action. At the same time, Khaitan and Kunal celebrate, confident that today’s unexpected developments will boost their TRP ratings.

Shock and disappointment over sudden rule change

Elsewhere, Pakhi corners Mahi and questions how her hand slipped during the act. Mahi, instead of arguing, calmly tells her there is no use screaming because the real fight now is between Anupama and Rahi.

Sarita, too, voices her disappointment, saying the whole team worked tirelessly, and this sudden change of rules is unfair. Pari adds that altering guidelines at the last minute is unacceptable. This leaves both Rahi and Anupama baffled about what lies ahead.

Precap for the next episode

In the precap, Gautam executes his scheme and locks Anupama in a room, preventing her from reaching the stage.

Trapped and struggling to escape, she collapses unconscious. Meanwhile, backstage, her team members realise she is missing and panic spreads as the finale nears.
