Anu returns to her Mayka; Rahi asks the Kotharis not to take her mother’s name in Anupamaa

Tonight's episode of Anupamaa opens with Anupama appreciating Titli for her dedication and sincerity. She encourages the young girl to continue working hard and focus on her studies. In a loving gesture, Anupama performs a ritual to ward off the evil eye from Titli. 

In return, Titli tries to do the same for Anupama, but Anupama gently explains that elders usually protect children, not the other way around. Titli sweetly wishes that all of Anupama’s dreams come true, leaving Anupama emotional as she calls Titli a blessing sent by God.

Soon, the atmosphere turns festive as Anupama explains the significance of Sita Navami to Banku. Along with Jaya and Banku, she celebrates the occasion with joy and dance. Digvijay, watching this, is reminded of Saavi and shares that she used to celebrate every festival with similar enthusiasm, much like Anupama.

Banku admits that he has never celebrated Sita Navami before, prompting Anupama to encourage him to begin observing it. She emphasizes how Goddess Sita’s name is always taken before Lord Ram, highlighting her importance. Jaya narrates the story of Goddess Sita’s birth, while Anupama speaks about her strength, resilience, and the hardships she endured. She reflects on how every woman faces tests in life and recalls how Sita, with her devotion, once stopped Ravana using just a twig. When Digvijay questions what one should do if prayers remain unanswered, Anupama advises him to trust God’s decisions and move forward with faith. She suggests that today should mark a fresh beginning and offers her prayers.

Meanwhile, at the Kothari house, a lawyer informs the family that Parag has transferred his power of attorney to Khyati, expressing his complete trust in her. Although touched, Khyati is confused about why Parag is avoiding communication with her. Rahi reassures her of Parag’s faith, and Anil supports the decision. However, Khyati insists she does not seek authority and only wants to stay connected with the family. Prem and Rahi motivate her, leaving Khyati emotional. On the other hand, Vasundhara feels uneasy, while Gautam silently resolves not to give up his own rights. Rahi senses trouble ahead and prays for her family’s safety.

Back with Anupama, she prays for strength to successfully manage Saavi’s café along with Prem and Rahi’s restaurant. She also hopes to mend her strained bond with Rahi. However, a sudden sign makes her anxious, as she fears someone might create distance between them. She asks God to protect their relationship.

Elsewhere, Shruti decides to meet Rahi. Unaware of her intentions, Rahi excitedly shares with Prem that an investor appreciated her presentation and wants to meet her. Prem, however, makes a self-deprecating remark, comparing himself unfavorably.

Digvijay reflects that their trip to Ahmedabad might seem destined but could simply be a coincidence for now. Anupama continues praying for her children’s well-being, but her uneasiness grows when a photograph of her with Rahi accidentally breaks. At the same time, Shruti expresses regret for not meeting Rahi earlier after discovering she works in her company. She prays for a reunion with Rahi and firmly believes that no one—not even Anupama—can come between them.

Tension escalates at the Kothari house as Vasundhara grows angry over Parag ignoring her calls. While Gautam tries to calm her, she feels hurt and betrayed, recalling how she single-handedly raised her children and taught Parag everything about business. She refuses to accept a situation where she has to depend on Khyati. Gautam further fuels her anger by suggesting that Rahi might have influenced Parag’s decision, successfully manipulating her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Banku and Jaya notice Anupama’s disturbed state and question her. Trying to stay composed, she offers sweets to everyone. At that moment, Digvijay spots Shruti from a distance, leaving him visibly unsettled.

In the precap, Anupama visits her mother’s house and decides to restart Saavi’s café with determination. Rahi distances herself emotionally, claiming she has no contact with Anupama and asking Vasundhara not to bring her up again. The episode ends on an emotional note as Shruti finally meets Rahi, and Rahi breaks down upon seeing her.
