In today’s episode of Anupama, the Shah house is buzzing with Rakshabandhan vibes! Leela brings up the festival while chatting with Sarita, asking if they don’t celebrate it. Sarita replies that in their tradition, Bhai Dooj is more prominent.
Kinjal notices Sarita working and tells her to relax, but Leela quickly jumps in, teasing that they are “dance ranis” in real life and shouldn’t be stopped. When Anupama joins in, Leela says she was only making sure the dance queens weren’t overworking. Anupama appreciates Sarita’s support despite the recent accusations against her. Sarita brushes it off, saying problems happen in every family.
But then Leela drops a bomb — she asks Anupama if her brother Bhavesh will attend with his new wife, and if she’s still in touch with him. Anupama is left stunned.
Meanwhile, Ansh is caring for Prarthana, which impresses Prem. Prarthana beams, saying Ansh loves her dearly. The talk turns to Rakshabandhan, but Prarthana reveals she can’t visit the Kotharis during the festival. Prem jokes that he’s relieved from buying her a gift, but she insists her biggest gift would be having Vasundhara, Khayti, and Parag attend her wedding. Without their blessings, she says, the marriage will feel incomplete. Prem promises to make it happen.
Ansh later urges Rahi to forgive Anupama, reminding her that what happened with Aryan wasn’t Anupama’s fault. But Rahi refuses, staying firm in her decision not to forgive. Prarthana requests Prem to talk to Rahi and bring her to the wedding, but Prem tells her to focus on her health.
Tensions rise when Rahi spots Anupama dancing with her team. Gautam whispers to Khyati and Vasundhara that Rahi and Anupama danced together during Ansh’s engagement. Khyati blasts Rahi for siding with Anupama, accusing her of fooling them. Rahi stays quiet, but the pressure is clear.
Later, Anupama misses her brother and decides to apologize for missing his wedding. She plans to meet him soon and finds Rahi’s bracelet, wishing one day her anger would melt away.
Rahi, however, vents her hatred for Anupama, asking Vasundhara and Khyati to trust her side of the story. Prem loses his patience and warns them to stop creating unnecessary drama.
The Shahs then come together to celebrate Rakshabandhan, and there’s a happy twist — Bailu returns home! Leela and Anupama are overjoyed to see him.
