Anupama 24th August 2025 Written Update Starlife
The episode begins with Prem checking on Rahi and Moti Baa, his voice filled with concern. He asks if everything is alright, and Moti Baa explains that she was simply guiding Rahi to help her adjust to life at the Kothari house. Prem’s brow furrows as he questions Moti Baa, frustrated by her inability to see through Prathana’s manipulations and Gautam’s rude, selfish behavior. He laments that even after Anupama and Rahi have exposed Gautam, the family refuses to accept the truth, and his frustration is palpable.

Rahi, feeling dizzy from the overwhelming emotions and the strain of recent events, insists on attending to the arriving guests despite Prem’s insistence that she rest. Her determination, however, only deepens Prem’s concern. Seeing her struggle, he gently takes her in his arms, holding a fold of Anupama’s sari against her cheek, and tells her to sleep, hoping she will regain her strength. Rahi reluctantly closes her eyes, torn between duty and her own well-being.
Meanwhile, the guests grow impatient, demanding that Vasundhara call Rahi to greet them. Prem intervenes, informing them that Rahi is unwell and resting, trying to prevent the situation from escalating. One of the ladies mutters that Vasundhara frightened Rahi so badly that she became dizzy, while another quips sarcastically that perhaps Vasundhara should write a book on controlling daughters-in-law. Vasundhara, however, is unconvinced. Irritated, she dismisses the guests and suspects that Rahi is merely faking her illness as a form of quiet retaliation. She mutters to herself, blaming Anupama for influencing Rahi with her dramatic tendencies, convinced that Rahi’s actions are a reflection of her mother’s guidance.
In the calm of the bedroom, Prem sits beside the sleeping Rahi, watching over her with tender concern. He reads poetry softly, letting the rhythm of words soothe her as she drifts into a deeper sleep. Eventually, he too dozes off beside her, unwilling to leave her side, a quiet guardian in the stillness of the night.
At the same time, Anupama arrives at the central jail, her heart heavy with unease. The stares of the prisoners unsettle her, and she admits to the commissioner that she feels apprehensive in this environment. The commissioner reassures her, explaining that the inmates stare because they rarely see women in the jail and that many promised to visit but backed out due to fear. Anupama reflects on her own trepidation but finds solace in a comforting thought: if Lord Krishna was born in a jail, perhaps the place is not as ominous as it seems. She takes a deep breath and delivers a heartfelt speech on Annapurna, inspiring hope among the prisoners. The commissioner praises her, encouraging her to continue motivating them with her words and compassion.
As she discusses the schedule and future plans, Anupama becomes momentarily distracted, her mind wandering to the plight of innocent prisoners who may be suffering behind bars. The commissioner gently questions her, reminding her that justice relies on evidence, not emotions. She nods thoughtfully, then asks about the more dangerous inmates. To her shock, she is introduced to Raghav, leaving her momentarily frozen, the weight of the encounter pressing down on her.
Meanwhile, back at the Kothari house, Rahi slowly wakes, realizing she has missed the traditional rituals that should have marked her wedding night. Prem, sensing her disappointment, reassures her, his tone gentle yet grounding. Just as she begins to gather herself, Moti Baa calls for Prem, prompting Rahi to quickly hide, worried about the implications. Vasundhara enters soon after, asking about Rahi and instructing her to prepare for the pheli rasoi ritual, a momentous event in her new life. Determined to make things right and prove her respect for the traditions, Rahi decides she will apologize for missing the earlier ceremony, wanting to start fresh with sincerity and humility.
After leaving the jail, Anupama breathes deeply, her mind still racing from her meeting with Raghav. She salutes the staff, acknowledging their work, and reflects on Rahi’s first day at the Shah household, wondering how her daughter is adjusting to the complexities of her new life.
Back in the Kothari home, the guests begin discussing Rahi’s education and intelligence, some impressed, others skeptical. Moti Baa quietly assigns Rahi a task, subtly testing her adaptability and patience. Meanwhile, Anupama’s thoughts remain with Rahi, worry gnawing at her as she wonders how her daughter is coping with the challenges and subtle manipulations of her in-laws.
As the day unfolds, the house is alive with tension, anticipation, and the delicate balance between tradition, duty, and personal conviction. Every glance, every whispered word, and every small action carries weight, shaping the first impressions and alliances that will influence Rahi’s journey in the Kothari household.
UPCOMING
Anupama faces Raghav’s rising temper, leaving her shaken, while Rahi prepares to navigate the challenges of her pheli rasoi, determined to prove herself and honor her mother’s guidance.
