In tonight's episode of Anupamaa, emotions run high as Bharti witnesses pain during her physiotherapy session and pleads with Anupama to let go of her leg. But Anupama, calm yet firm, gently encourages her to focus—not on the pain—but on something she truly loves.
Caught off guard, Bharti smiles through the pain, especially when Anupama cheekily adds that the superstar once danced with her. That memory lights up Bharti's face. Reinvigorated by the moment, she finds the strength to continue. When she curiously asks where Anupama learned such clever tricks, Anupama simply smiles and says, 'It comes naturally to a mother.'
Meanwhile, Jaspreet grows worried that Rita might not return.
But Anupama reassures her, saying with quiet confidence that Rita's mother-in-law will bring her back. She urges both Bharti and Preet to trust her—and wait.
Elsewhere, excitement brews as Pakhi shares her plans to enter a dance competition. Leela, ever the realist, seems sceptical, pointing out that only professionals typically compete. But Pakhi is hopeful—she explains that Rahi is mentoring them, and that makes a difference.

Still doubtful, Leela questions Rahi's capabilities and even wonders aloud if Anupama herself will end up joining. Pakhi urges her to believe.
At that moment, Prarthana steps in, appreciating how refreshing it is to see someone following their passion. But Leela, not missing a beat, brings things back to the mundane and reminds her about the electricity bill—suggesting she raise the rent now that she's using an air conditioner.
Prarthana chuckles and assures her she'll manage.
But beneath the banter, Leela reflects quietly. She's unsure whether she can help raise Prarthana's child without Anupama's guidance and wonders what would happen if Anupama were to return.
Meanwhile, Manohar gathers the women of the chawl and lifts their spirits. With wisdom and warmth, he speaks about embracing both success and failure, preparing them mentally for the challenges ahead—perhaps even hinting at the rivalry with Rahi.
As he encourages them to finalise a name for their group, Anupama suggests 'Dancing Ranis,' explaining that every woman is a queen in her own right. The name is met with smiles and nods.
But Rita's absence still looms large. Thinking on her feet, Anupama devises an unusual plan. She starts a rumour that
Sarita
is under divine influence—claiming that a goddess has entered her. The tactic works: Rita and her mother-in-law rush to Sarita out of concern.
Jaspreet, ever sharp, tells the mother-in-law that if she wants answers, she must make a donation. Desperate to secure a job for her son, the woman complies, asking about his future. But Sarita seizes the moment to speak her truth. She scolds the mother-in-law for expecting blessings while mistreating her daughter-in-law.
Taken aback, the woman has a change of heart—and finally agrees to let Rita join the dance competition.
Relief and joy sweep through the group, and Rita, Jaspreet, and Sarita celebrate the breakthrough.
Later, Anupama reflects on what they had to do to make it happen. Though they achieved something good, the means felt wrong. She confesses she's uncomfortable with having used superstition to manipulate the outcome. 'How long will people keep falling for these blind beliefs?' she wonders aloud. While they helped Rita today, what about tomorrow—when someone else might need help and there's no act to save them?
