18th July 2025 Anupama Written Update: Anupama and Raahi's Unexpected Connection at the Ashram

The story of Star Plus’ popular show Anupama is getting more emotional and intense day by day. After Sarita Tai’s exit from the dance competition, Anupama’s team takes the spotlight and gets ready for the semi-finals.

🔹 Episode Begins with Raahi at the Ashram

The episode opens with Raahi, who is lost in the memories of her past at the ashram. She makes a bracelet with her father’s name while Pari makes one for Raahi. Meanwhile, Anupama and Guruji arrive at the ashram, where a flood of memories hits Anupama.

Raahi remembers her joyful days with her father and how she had once done his makeup playfully. She quietly walks away with Pari. As Anupama is welcomed at the ashram, her saree gets stuck, triggering memories of Raahi. A song plays in the background, and Anupama recalls dancing with Raahi. Suddenly, bracelets with the names “Anu” and “Raahi” fall near her feet, leaving her emotionally stirred.

A person at the ashram informs Anupama that he spoke with her daughter but wasn’t told Anupama would be coming. Anupama feels overwhelmed upon learning Raahi is nearby and is happy to hear that Raahi donated funds. The Kapadia Trust also contributes money, which surprises Anupama.

She emotionally says, “Kapadia Ji, even today you are helping me. But I don’t even know who is running this trust now.” She reflects on how she and Raahi are still connected spiritually, even if physically distant.

🔹 Raahi and Prem’s New Decision

Raahi tells Prem that she visited the ashram and considered staying there if Anupama hadn't come. Prem gently explains that things happened the way they did because Anupama wanted them to.

Raahi suggests adopting a child, saying that giving a child a mother’s love brings true happiness. Prem agrees and adds that they can have their own children too — maybe even a football team! They share a light moment and laugh.

Raahi mentions the bracelets they had made, wondering where they are now. Bharati overhears and calls the story "filmy" but later encourages Anupama to meet Raahi. Anupama hesitates and says she shouldn't meet her. Though tempted for a moment, she chooses not to. She acknowledges that Raahi is now independent and is still helping the ashram — a place filled with memories but also pain.

Bharati asks Anupama if she’ll perform in the next round of the competition. Anupama agrees and prepares for Round 2.

🔹 Both Teams Reach the Semi-Finale

Both Anupama’s and Raahi’s teams qualify for the semi-final round thanks to their hard work. Their names appear in newspapers, and they are interviewed on television. Ba and Khyati feel bitter seeing their success and wonder how things have become so easy for them.

🔹 Raahi Feels Restless

Anupama prays joyfully to Lord Krishna. Meanwhile, Pakhi tells the family that she has made it to the semi-finals and wants to win not just for money but for her identity. Bapuji advises her to focus on her self-worth rather than money.

Pakhi senses a big twist coming in the finale. Pandit Ji gives a live interview where he praises Anupama and calls her “Tilottama,” making Anupama nervous that he might accidentally mention her name.

Raahi and her group watch Guru Ji’s interview, where he praises Anupama. Parag asks Raahi what happened. She tells him their team is also in the semi-finals and might face Anupama’s team directly. Prem calms her down and tells her not to worry.

🔮 What to Expect in the Next Episode?

In the upcoming episode, Anupama travels to Ahmedabad for the competition. Her entire family comes to support Pakhi, while the entire Kothari family comes to support Raahi.

Anupama and Raahi finally come face to face.

Anupama realizes that Raahi has also entered the competition. Prem sees Anupama and she asks him, “Raahi is participating too? Why didn’t you tell me?”
