Anupamaa: Raghav Saves Rahi’s Life and His Dark Past is Revealed
Tonight’s episode of Anupamaa begins with Kartik introducing Anupama and Rahi as dance instructors to the prison inmates, reminding them to respect their teachers. Anupama starts with simple dance steps, encouraging the prisoners to express themselves like Lord Krishna.
Rahi’s First Encounter with Raghav
While Anupama leads the session, Raghav plays a haunting tune on the mouth organ, which instantly unsettles her. Noticing him, Anupama grows anxious and worried for Rahi’s safety.
Rahi, however, is impressed by Raghav’s musical skills and introduces herself, even encouraging him to participate. Instead of responding warmly, Raghav fixes her with an intense stare, leaving her startled. As he steps toward her, she instinctively backs away, feeling a growing sense of fear.
Raghav Saves Rahi from Danger
Suddenly, Raghav pulls Rahi close, causing her to panic. Anupama rushes forward, fiercely protecting Rahi, warning Raghav never to touch her daughter. However, Raghav clarifies that he was only trying to save Rahi’s life.
A constable confirms his story—a loose wire was about to fall on Rahi, and Raghav pulled her away just in time. Realizing her mistake, Anupama feels guilty for misjudging him. Before leaving, Raghav apologizes, stating that his only intention was to protect Rahi, not to frighten her.
Meanwhile, Kartik supervises the workers repairing the wire, ensuring no further safety hazards occur.
Rahi Learns Raghav’s Dark Past
Later, Anupama confronts Rahi about wandering alone in the prison. Rahi apologizes but also warns her mother to stay away from Raghav, sensing that he is dangerous.
Later, Rahi uncovers shocking information—Raghav is in prison for allegedly killing his wife. The revelation leaves her deeply concerned, and she again pleads with Anupama not to visit the prison alone. Though Anupama reassures her, she remains lost in thought, questioning whether Raghav is truly a murderer.
Family Conflicts Over Ishani’s Marriage
At home, Leela confronts Pakhi about forcing Ishani into marriage with Raja. She argues that the Kotharis’ conservative nature may not suit Ishani. Kinjal reminds Pakhi that Anupama is already handling the matter, but Pakhi insists she knows what’s best for her daughter.
Leela, frustrated by the ongoing tension, wishes for peace in the family. Meanwhile, Kinjal warns that the Kotharis may never fully accept Ishani.
Prem’s New Beginning & Mending Relationships
Elsewhere, Prem moves into his new house. Ishani, Pari, and Ansh help him settle in, while Badshah, Prarthana, and Raja also arrive.
Though Prem keeps his distance from Prarthana, she takes the initiative to apologize and explain her perspective. She also seeks forgiveness from Ansh, hoping to mend broken ties.
Later, Ansh enlists the help of Badshah, Raja, and Prarthana. However, Prem soon discovers that they lied to Moti Baa to meet him. Badshah justifies the lie, saying even elders sometimes deceive to protect their loved ones. But Prem firmly believes that lying to elders is unacceptable.
Anupama’s Dilemma: Sympathy for Raghav?
Anupama discusses the prison dance program’s progress with Kartik. Sensing her growing curiosity about Raghav, Kartik warns her to remain professional and not let emotions cloud her judgment. He advises against sympathizing with Raghav, cautioning that it will only bring her pain.
Ishani’s Conflicted Feelings
Back at Prem’s house, Ishani confesses to Raja that she cannot imagine a life without him. Moved by her words, Raja promises to speak to his family and marry her. However, Ishani feels conflicted, fearing that Pakhi’s pressure is forcing her into a marriage she isn’t fully ready for.
Meanwhile, Gautam advises Moti Baa to stop hoping for Prem’s return, but Khyati blames Moti Baa for driving him away. Heartbroken, Moti Baa pleads with Parag to bring Prem back, saying she cannot live without him.
Despite Khyati’s warnings, Parag remains determined to bring Prem home, unwilling to give up.
Mahi’s Jealousy & Growing Tensions
As Rahi spends time with Prem, Ishani, Badshah, Raja, Pari, and Ansh, Mahi becomes furious upon seeing Prem and Rahi together. Meanwhile, Parag questions Khyati’s silence, but she cryptically responds, “Sometimes, silence is the best answer.”
Parag, however, refuses to accept this, standing firm in his decision to reunite Prem with his family.
