Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Mannat kidnaps Mallika and corners Aishwarya with shocking truth

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode begins with Aishwarya warning Mannat to stay away from her daughter's happiness. She sternly tells Mannat that Vikrant doesn't belong to her and demands that she maintain distance. Mannat calmly replies, questioning Aishwarya if she even knows the lengths a daughter can go to for her mother. She promises not to take what isn't hers and assures Aishwarya that she has no intention of coming between Vikrant and Mallika. Aishwarya, however, makes it clear that Mannat must leave the house once the wedding is done. She knows Mannat won't take her threats lightly. Mannat, meanwhile, is determined, whether or not she finds love, she will reveal Aishwarya's true face.

Soon after, the traditional chooda ceremony begins. Kiran and Raveena help Mallika wear the ceremonial bangles, and Aishwarya watches on with satisfaction. Neetu glares at Mannat, but Mannat remains expressionless. Vikrant, however, can't stop glancing at Mannat, his eyes constantly finding her in the crowd.

During the ritual, Neetu performs the nazar ritual for Mallika and tells Anisha to distribute money to the staff. She instructs Mannat to bring sweets for the family. Mannat complies, and Neetu offers the sweets to Mallika, who then returns the gesture. Suddenly, Neetu begins gasping for breath. Vikrant rushes to her side, concerned, while Roni contacts a doctor. Neetu claims that Mannat added mango to the sweets, which she is allergic to. Mannat defends herself, insisting that Neetu had previously told her she was allergic to strawberries, not mangoes. Neetu accuses Mannat of deliberately causing harm. Vikrant is initially inclined to trust Mannat, believing she would never lie. But caught between emotions and pressure, he lashes out and tells her to leave.

After taking Neetu to the hospital, Mannat is left devastated, feeling betrayed that Vikrant chose to believe his mother over her. Aishwarya and Mallika are visibly pleased with how things turned out.

In a moment of despair, Mannat breaks down. Just then, she receives a distressing call from the doctor, her mother Shruthi is in critical condition and needs a liver transplant within 24 hours. Mannat is shaken. Gagan overhears the conversation and feels deeply for her. Meanwhile, Vikrant learns from the doctor that Neetu is fine. Regret washes over him as he reflects on how harshly he treated Mannat. Deep inside, he knows she would never intentionally harm his mother.

As Vikrant prepares to visit Mannat, Mallika offers to accompany him, but he insists on speaking to Mannat alone. Meanwhile Gagan comforts Mannat who reveals that her actions were part of a plan to make Aishwarya admit the truth about being her biological mother. All she wants now is to beg Aishwarya to save Shruthi, but Aishwarya is too selfish to care. Gagan empathizes with Mannat and offers his unwavering support. He vows to confront Aishwarya and expose her, though Mannat worries that no one will believe him. She points out that Aishwarya is too cunning and well-prepared to let the truth slip without solid proof.

Gagan expresses that he sees no difference between Mannat and Mallika, they are both his daughters in his eyes. Mannat laments how Aishwarya values no one's life but her own. Gagan, sensing Mannat's desperation, asks if she's considering doing something extreme.

Later, Shalini suggests that Mallika meet her own mother instead and secretly signals to Gagan. Vikrant then discovers a letter in Mannat's room, she has left the house. His heart sinks as he reads her words. At the same time, Mallika is nowhere to be found in the house.

Raveena worries, calling Mallika's absence during the puja a bad omen. Suddenly, Aishwarya receives a letter from a blackmailer, warning her to come to Salooja Restaurant if she wants to save Mallika.
