In Anupamaa 20th February 2025, Prem celebrates his diploma admission, bringing joy to Rahi and the Shah family, while Moti Baa is left stunned. Parag reveals a security threat, leading to tensions between the Kotharis and Shahs. Amid family conflicts, Prem and Rahi’s romance deepens, but Parag disapproves. To ease tensions, a cricket match is organized, sparking drama and unexpected emotions.
Prem is ecstatic when he learns that his admission for a diploma has been approved. Overflowing with joy, he eagerly shares the news with everyone. Rahi is especially delighted since this means she can now attend college alongside him. Anupamaa and the Shah family celebrate his achievement, but Moti Baa is left in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Parag informs everyone about an attempted break-in at their house. Leela reminds them that she had warned against displaying diamonds openly. Parag explains that this isn’t the first time thieves have tried, and for security reasons, they cannot return home yet. He suggests staying at a hotel, but Moti Baa refuses. Hasmuk, seeing the situation, requests the Kotharis to extend their stay a little longer. Rahi views this as a perfect chance for both families to bond.
Noticing Anupamaa’s uneasiness, Hasmuk asks her about it. She confesses that she simply wants the ongoing interactions between the Kotharis and the Shahs to remain peaceful. He advises her to stay calm. Elsewhere, Ishani and Raja spend time together, with Raja expressing his desire for a kiss. Ishani hesitates, feeling shy, but before anything happens, Pari sees them. Confronting Ishani, Pari calls her out, only to be met with a sharp retort—Ishani claims she has the freedom to date anyone, unlike Pari, whom she labels a loser. Pari warns Ishani that she will only understand heartbreak after experiencing betrayal herself. Meanwhile, Prem and Rahi cherish some quality moments together.
In the kitchen, Anupamaa prepares tea with Anil’s help. Mahi insists on assisting as well, justifying her presence by saying her feelings matter. However, Anupamaa warns her against making a mistake. Khyati joins them, bringing up how quickly Rahi has grown up. Excitedly, she expresses hopes that Rahi will help mend her relationship with Prem in the future, especially as her wedding approaches.
Parag thanks Anupamaa for her hospitality, admitting that they stayed only because of Prem. However, Prem, unimpressed, bluntly points out that Parag had no other choice. The tension between them does not go unnoticed by Rahi. Concerned, Pari urges Rahi to intervene before the growing discomfort between the two families escalates.
To lighten the mood, Rahi and Prem suggest a friendly cricket match between both families. At first, Parag refuses, but Rahi insists. Meanwhile, Prem and Rahi’s bond deepens, and Anupamaa catches them sharing a moment. She advises them to be patient and wait until marriage. Later, Prem asks Rahi for a kiss, but their private moment is cut short when Parag spots them, making things even more awkward.
Khyati encourages Rahi to convince Parag to participate in the cricket game. Despite her efforts, Parag refuses, unintentionally offending Prem. Eventually, the Shahs and Kotharis come together for the match. During the game, Khyati manages to get Rahi out, upsetting Prem.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Pakhi is stunned when she discovers that Meeta has almost finalized Raja’s marriage arrangement.
