Anu THROWS a pillow just before Mahi’s head hits the floor and hits Toshu with a Chappal in Anupamaa

Today’s episode opens with Banku getting deeply touched by the love story of Anupama and Anuj. Watching their bond makes him dream about finding genuine love in his own life someday. Seeing his innocence and hopes, Anupama silently prays that Banku receives happiness and true companionship in the future.

Just then, Ishani arrives and notices Anupama preparing hand-painted mugs. Curious, she asks why Anupama prefers doing everything manually instead of using ready-made items. Banku explains that Anupama believes handmade creations carry feelings and warmth. He recalls how their handmade pamphlets had once attracted more people because they felt personal and heartfelt. Ishani then requests Anupama to send Banku with her so he can help carry some items from the market.

Meanwhile, tension erupts at the Shah house when Paritosh angrily drags Mahi outside. Furious over the divorce notice Mahi sent to Gautam, he lashes out at her in front of everyone. Mahi cries out for Kinjal, who immediately intervenes and questions Paritosh’s behavior. However, Paritosh continues blaming Mahi, claiming Gautam will now destroy the entire family because of her decision.

At that very moment, Anupama arrives and fiercely steps in to protect Mahi by throwing a pillow under her head just before it hits the floor. Unable to tolerate Paritosh’s actions, she throws her slipper at him in anger. Leela becomes upset seeing Anupama interfere again and questions why she returned to the house. Anupama fires back at Paritosh, asking whether he has completely lost his self-respect in front of Gautam. She strongly condemns the way he treated Mahi. Leela, however, sides against Mahi and clearly says she does not want her staying in the house anymore.

Elsewhere, Gautam begins manipulating Prerna emotionally. He taunts her by saying that despite all her efforts, neither Prem nor Rahi truly values her presence. He further adds that Shruti may eventually throw her out completely. Gautam also mocks Prerna’s failed restaurant dream and hints that she never received the importance she wanted from Prem. His words deeply anger Prerna.

Back at the Shah house, Anupama asks Paritosh to calm down and stop creating a scene. Paritosh sarcastically comments that Anupama’s aim is always perfect whenever she attacks him. Anupama replies sharply that hitting him today indeed felt accurate. Leela once again questions Anupama’s intentions and asks what she plans to take away from them this time. She demands that Anupama leave immediately. Ignoring the insults, Anupama confidently tells Leela to get ready for the inauguration of her café. Leela refuses outright and declares she will never attend the opening. Before leaving, Anupama advises Leela to control her anger otherwise her blood pressure will worsen.

At another place, Gautam pretends to support Prerna and assures her he is on her side. Irritated by his manipulative behavior, Prerna stomps on his foot and warns him to stay away from her.

Soon, Rahi, Shruti, and Prem return after visiting a location. Rahi notices Prerna and asks whether she is still around. Prerna politely says she was busy completing Shruti’s assigned work. When she asks about the site visit, Rahi mentions that Shruti will soon show her the location as well. Prerna then offers help if any work remains, but Shruti coldly responds that she already has an entire team and does not require additional assistance. Prem decides to drop Prerna home, but Shruti immediately interrupts and says she will do it herself. Watching everything silently, Gautam smirks before congratulating Prem and Rahi. He then warns them to remain cautious of Anupama, leaving Rahi suspicious of his intentions.

Meanwhile, Ishani and Banku spend time together at the market. During their conversation, Banku reveals that he always wished to continue his studies. Ishani apologizes on Pakhi’s behalf for insulting him earlier. However, Banku says he was not hurt because Pakhi merely pointed out what he already does well. At that moment, Pakhi spots Ishani and Banku together and becomes visibly upset seeing them bond.

On the other side, Shruti directly questions Prerna about whether she has feelings for Prem. Prerna clarifies that Prem is only her friend and that Rahi is fully aware of her intentions. Despite that, Shruti warns Prerna to maintain distance from both Prem and Rahi or she will remove her completely from their lives. The harsh warning leaves Prerna furious.

Later, Anupama motivates herself to stay strong despite Leela’s constant criticism. She decides to focus entirely on making her café successful. Digvijay stands beside her and encourages her determination.

Soon after, Banku returns home in tears. A worried Anupama asks what happened. Pakhi then accuses Banku of trying to get close to Ishani despite being only a servant. Her harsh remarks upset everyone. Anupama explains things to Ishani, while Digvijay firmly declares that Banku is like his own son. Both Anupama and Digvijay motivate Banku to continue his education and not lose confidence in himself.

However, another major problem arises when Paresh asks Anupama to vacate the house within two days. Feeling guilty, Digvijay says Anupama is suffering because of him and decides he should leave instead. But Anupama refuses to let anyone go. She confidently assures everyone that she will handle the situation somehow. Holding onto hope, she believes that once her café starts running successfully, all their troubles will slowly settle down.

In the precap, Anupama suddenly feels uneasy. Someone mysteriously enters her café late at night. Hasmuk reaches the café to check why the door has been left open. Soon, Anupama also arrives there. Unexpectedly, both Hasmuk and Anupama get trapped inside the café. As Anupama desperately tries to save him, Hasmuk collapses due to a dangerous gas leak. Outside, Leela and Digvijay panic and attempt to rescue them before the situation turns fatal.
