In today’s gripping episode, Anupama finds herself at a crossroads as she decides to go to the police station. Raghav, feeling guilty and overwhelmed, pleads with Anupama not to trouble herself on his behalf. He expresses a desire to leave, wanting to avoid further complications. However, Anupama, with her unwavering resolve, insists that he must learn to stand up to society before he can leave. She firmly refuses to let Raghav walk away until his mother returns, emphasizing the importance of accountability and courage. Determined to help him find his voice, Anupama makes the bold decision to file a complaint against those who have wronged him.
Meanwhile, in a parallel storyline, Meeta approaches Vasundhara with a heartfelt request to allow her to pursue a career in the imitation jewelry business. Vasundhara, however, is dismissive, urging Meeta to stop being influenced by Anupama’s progressive ideals. Rahi, standing up for her friend, passionately argues that Meeta deserves the same opportunities that Vasundhara had in her own life. Despite Rahi’s support, Vasundhara remains resolute, asserting that the daughters-in-law of the Kothari family are expected to confine their roles to household duties. In a bid to compromise, Rahi suggests that Meeta could work from home, but Vasundhara insists that she will consider Meeta’s aspirations later, leaving her future uncertain.
Anil, who has been quietly observing the exchange, expresses his happiness at the prospect of Vasundhara accepting Meeta’s proposal. However, Parag, feeling threatened by the changes Anupama is bringing to their family dynamics, accuses her of breaking apart the family. Vasundhara, attempting to maintain control, reassures Parag that she knows how to handle her daughters-in-law, but the tension in the household is palpable.
As the episode unfolds, Parag learns that Raghav has been released from jail, prompting a wave of panic to wash over Vasundhara. She fears that Raghav may seek revenge, but Parag tries to calm her fears, reminding her that they must remain strong. Meanwhile, society begins to cast blame on Anupama for filing a complaint against them, further isolating her. Despite the backlash, Anupama stands firm in her support of Raghav, urging the community not to harass him. She instructs Raghav to go to “Anu Ki Rasoi” and lock the doors for his safety. Grateful for her unwavering support, Raghav expresses his heartfelt thanks to Anupama, acknowledging her role as his ally.
On another front, Prarthana and Rahi come together to help Meeta launch her imitation jewelry business. Prarthana expresses her concerns about Vasundhara’s disapproval, but Rahi encourages her to stay positive and pursue her dreams. In a moment of vulnerability, Prarthana admits that she, too, longs to chase her aspirations, and Rahi urges her to take a leap of faith. However, Prarthana’s worries about Gautam’s reaction loom large. When Gautam catches wind of Rahi’s influence over Prarthana, he intervenes, asserting his authority. Prarthana defiantly states that she is not his subordinate, but Gautam insists that she requires discipline and guidance.
Meanwhile, Anupama takes a moment to check on Leela, inquiring about her health. However, Leela, still harboring resentment, blames Anupama for her current state. Anupama, trying to maintain her composure, urges Leela to prioritize her health, despite their differences. Hasmuk, always supportive of Anupama, stands by her side, which only serves to further upset Leela. Feeling misunderstood and isolated, Anupama breaks down, overwhelmed by the weight of the expectations placed upon her. Pari steps in to console her, but Anupama confesses her exhaustion and frustration at being constantly misjudged by those around her, including Rahi.
In a separate storyline, Rahi grows increasingly worried about Prem, who is late coming home. When he finally calls her, she realizes that he has been drinking, but Prem vehemently denies it, claiming he only had juice. He attempts to persuade Rahi that Anupama is not in the wrong, trying to shift the focus away from his own behavior. Prem then tells Rahi to get ready for his return home. As he makes his way back, he encounters two boys who make inappropriate comments about Rahi and Anupama, igniting a confrontation. Prem, fueled by anger, confronts the boys, while Mohit steps in, trying to de-escalate the situation.
Back at home, Meeta expresses her gratitude to Anil for supporting her ambitions and resolves to find a balance between her responsibilities at home and her newfound career. Anil encourages her, and she then turns to Raja, informing him that they are going to meet a girl for him. However, Raja drops a bombshell, confessing to Anil that he is in love with Ishani, leaving Anil shocked and speechless.
As tensions rise, Rahi approaches Anupama, offering an apology for not understanding her perspective earlier. The two reconcile, and Rahi informs Anupama that Prem is with Mohit. Just then, the scene shifts to Mohit helping Prem into the car, hinting at the chaos that is about to unfold.
**Precap:** Rahi’s anxiety peaks as she worries about Prem’s well-being and questions Mohit about his whereabouts. Mohit, surprised by her concern, asks if Prem hasn’t returned yet. Just as Rahi begins to feel a sense of dread, her neck chain suddenly breaks, symbolizing her growing unease. Meanwhile, Anupama and Ansh embark on a frantic search for Prem. When Prem finally returns home, Rahi’s shock is palpable as she notices blood stains on his shirt, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, eager to discover the truth behind the night’s events.
