Anupamaa: Prem refuses Prerna’s company, further fuelling Rahi’s doubts

In tonight's episode of Anupmaa, Tina walks in with glasses of water for Anu and Hasmuk. Anupama is surprised and questions her about why she is personally serving them. She asks if there are no helpers in the house. Tina calmly replies that she handles all the household chores on her own. Anupama quietly observes her actions. When Tina extends a glass of water to Manpreet, Manpreet hesitates and looks nervous. Tina insists that she take it and then tells Anupama that she never allows Manpreet to do any work in the house.

Anupama remarks that she has never come across a daughter-in-law like Tina before. She then subtly shows off her diamond ring and jokingly asks Hasmuk whether he has brought bags filled with cash and jewellery. Tina immediately says that Manpreet will bring Hasmuk's bag. Anupama is taken aback by this statement. Realising her mistake, Tina quickly corrects herself and says that Arjun will bring the bag instead. Arjun agrees and goes to get it. Meanwhile, Tina and Arjun imagine themselves surrounded by wealth and dream about gaining access to Hasmuk's money.

As Anupama and Hasmuk prepare to leave, Tina stops them and requests that they stay longer. She signals Manpreet to convince them as well. Manpreet requests Hasmuk to stay, mentioning that there is only one air conditioner in the house and that he cannot sleep comfortably without it. Anupama questions whether Manpreet's room does not have an AC. Tina lies and claims that Manpreet refused to have one because she feels too cold. This angers Anupama. Tina and Arjun then pretend they are ready to give up their own room for the elders. Manpreet silently thinks that now Tina and Arjun will experience the consequences of their own behaviour.

Elsewhere, Prerna excitedly shares with Rahi and Prem that an investor has shown interest in funding their venture so they can establish their own brand. When she asks Prem to accompany her to finalise the location, he refuses. Rahi senses tension and asks Prerna if something has happened between her and Prem. Prerna avoids giving a clear answer and assures her that everything is fine. Pari overhears their conversation. Rahi decides she needs to speak to Prem directly.

Back at the house, Tina and Arjun assume that Hasmuk must be extremely wealthy. Tina says she does not even remember having such an uncle, but Arjun tells her that their focus should remain on the potential money. Tina advises Manpreet not to take the ongoing drama seriously. When Angad comes to meet Manpreet, Tina intervenes and asks him to keep his distance from her.

Anupama pretends that she has not overheard anything suspicious and demands that food be served. Tina orders Manpreet to cook the meal, but Anupama interrupts and asks Tina to prepare the food herself. She also tells Arjun to clean the house.

Manpreet feels hurt by everything happening around her. Anupama gently tells her that she understands how painful it can be to discipline one's own children. Manpreet expresses that she cannot comprehend how children change so drastically over time. Anupama responds that correcting them at the right time is necessary.

Meanwhile, Rahi confronts Prem and asks if there is any issue between him and Prerna. Prem refuses to discuss Prerna. Mahi teasingly comments that Prem and Rahi seem awkward, almost like a couple. Rahi dismisses Mahi's remark and insists that Prem clarify things. Prem reassures her that nothing is wrong. Rahi advises him to concentrate on his work.

On another front, Paritosh looks through Hasmuk's will and is stunned to discover that there is property that was kept hidden. Pakhi finds Leela's jewellery and is equally surprised. Paritosh claims that Leela concealed the truth about not having any gold. Kinjal steps in and says that Paritosh and Pakhi have no right to invade Hasmuk and Leela's privacy by entering their room without permission. Paritosh argues that as family members, they deserve to know about their share. Pakhi supports him, but Kinjal firmly stops them. Just then, Pakhi receives a call from Diwakar and looks pleased.

Later, Anupama notices that Manpreet is eating only a simple, plain roti. Manpreet reveals that she has been surviving on such basic food for a long time. Anupama calls Tina and questions her. Tina lies again, claiming that Manpreet's plate was accidentally exchanged, and quickly serves her rich dishes instead. Anupama asks Tina to step aside and decides to personally feed Manpreet.

In the precap, Anupama announces that a daughter-in-law who respectfully touches her in-laws' feet receives money as a blessing. Tina and Arjun are left shocked when they see Ravinder. At the same time, Anupama is reminded of Anuj, bringing back emotional memo
