Anupama Today Episode 26 August 2025
In today’s episode, Ansh and Prarthana’s wedding is completed. Anupama warmly congratulates the newlyweds. Leela asks them to take blessings from the elders, but Anupama reminds everyone that since Prarthana is pregnant, it isn’t good for her to bend down. Instead, she suggests the elders come forward to bless the couple. Hasmuk praises the beauty of Indian culture, and everyone blesses Ansh and Prarthana. Watching Anupama happy with the dance queens, Rahi feels disheartened.
Anupama then shares her thoughts on marriage. She explains that in earlier times, women were considered Anugamini—those who walked behind their husbands. But today’s wives are Sahagamini—those who walk alongside their husbands. She says marriage is not just a ritual but the start of a partnership where couples walk together, share responsibilities, and face life’s challenges side by side.
Leela brings up the farewell ritual. Preet and Bharti remind her that Prarthana already lives in the Shah house. But Leela insists that a farewell marks a new beginning, so Prarthana must perform it. Just then, Rahi interrupts, saying another ritual is still pending—the search for Ansh’s shoes. The Shah family dances together while Rahi’s team successfully steals the shoes. She demands ₹20,000, but Mahi, Pari, and Rahi negotiate. Anupama advises Ansh to give ₹5,000 to his sisters.
Rahi distributes the money, giving the dance queens their share. Anupama reflects on how complex human nature can be. Prarthana, meanwhile, misses Parag. Both Anupama and Ansh console her. Leela then urges Prarthana to begin her farewell ritual. Anupama thinks to herself that she had hoped Parag would come, but his ego seems too strong.
Pakhi notices Rahi and Prem’s emotions and asks why they are upset. Anil explains that a daughter’s farewell is always painful for her parents, but because society believes the in-laws have greater rights over her now, parents remain silent.
Anupama agrees, adding that parents are the ones who once held her hand and taught her to walk, the ones who shielded her from every hardship. Yet, despite being the most important people in her life, they suppress their emotions and quietly step into the background. Prem adds that even in these tears lies the happiness of seeing Prarthana begin a new journey with her partner.
At last, Parag arrives for Prarthana’s farewell. Anupama asks her to take his blessings. Overwhelmed, Parag and Prarthana grow emotional, and to everyone’s surprise, Parag places Prarthana’s hand into Ansh’s, signifying his acceptance.
Meanwhile, Gautam informs Vasundhara and Khyati that Parag went to meet Prarthana, accusing him of ignoring them. In a fit of anger, he pretends to take his own life, but Vasundhara and Khyati stop him. They assure him that Prarthana and Ansh will never be accepted as part of their family. Vasundhara vows to take Prarthana’s baby away, defying Parag’s wishes. Determined, Gautam swears to destroy both Ansh and Anupama.
