Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Vikrant FAILS to hide his protective side for Mannat after breaking ties with her

In tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode, Mallika reflects on her friendship with Mannat, believing everything was going smoothly until she made a minor mistake. She realises she had tried to outshine Mannat, and her mother's warning about being used starts to make sense. Just then, Mannat messages her, and Mallika fabricates a story, claiming she made numerous attempts to convince him but failed as he remains adamant.

Meanwhile, Sunita reaches out to Aishwarya, informing her about the test and urging her to cooperate. Aishwarya starts feeling that ever since Mannat entered her life, things have only become more complicated. Raveena questions her about whether she has taken the necessary steps to conceal the truth. Aishwarya, unfazed, instructs Raveena to stick to the plan. Suddenly, Bobby attacks Aishwarya and tries to strangle her. Roni arrives just in time and intervenes. He demands to know what's going on, but Raveena assures him she will explain everything inside the room, not in the open.

Elsewhere, Vikrant meets Shalini and encourages her to open up, assuring her that the real culprit will face justice. However, Shalini recalls how Aishwarya emotionally manipulated her and, out of fear, pretends she doesn't remember anything. Vikrant, not wanting to pressure her, reassures her that she can confide in him whenever she feels ready. He tells her she is like a younger sister to him and promises his support. He then notices an empty flower vase and excuses himself.

At that moment, Mannat arrives carrying flowers. She greets Shalini and brings up the incident from the previous day, saying she understood Shalini's anger. While arranging the flowers, she notices that Shalini hasn't eaten, so she reminds her to take her medicine. Just then, Vikrant returns with flowers and sees Mannat there. Memories of breaking ties with her flash through his mind. He remarks that there is no place for more flowers, to which Mannat responds that if he has a heart, he can make space. They both arrange the flowers together in the vase before Vikrant leaves.

Mannat then informs Shalini that her mother is admitted to the same hospital and expresses her desire to meet her. Shalini expresses gratitude for all that Mannat is doing. Meanwhile, Harneet receives unexpected news from the nurse—Shruthi's sister has agreed to be a donor. She is shocked and finds it hard to believe. Just then, Mannat arrives. Harneet asks her if the news is true, and Mannat confirms that she has come for the test. However, Harneet warns her to keep her distance.

Soon, Sunita joins them, and Mannat introduces her to Harneet. Harneet grows suspicious, sensing that Sunita is behaving like Sonia Khanna. Meanwhile, Sunita mistakes Harneet for Shruthi and begins conversing with her. Mannat clarifies that Shruthi is resting in bed. Sunita quickly covers up her mistake. Later, a nurse informs them that Sunita's liver is not a match for her mother due to different blood groups. Mannat, surprised, questions why she wasn't informed earlier. Sunita, making an excuse, claims she forgot and quickly leaves.

Elsewhere, Roni confronts Boby and slaps him for assaulting Shalini. He berates him for targeting someone young enough to be his daughter and warns that once Vikrant finds out the truth, he won't spare him. As Roni prepares to call Vikrant, Raveena intervenes, warning him that if he proceeds, she will expose Aman's truth. Aishwarya, witnessing the moment, wonders why Roni suddenly backed down after hearing Aman's name.

Vikrant later informs everyone that the real culprit has been apprehended. Soon, the media surrounds Mezbani, eager for an update. Aishwarya steps forward and declares that Fedrick is responsible for the crime. Fedrick, however, vehemently denies the allegations as reporters capture the moment. Aishwarya discreetly whispers to Fedrick that he was the one who leaked the news, making him an easy scapegoat.

Desperate, Fedrick grabs Mannat's hand and begs her to save him, claiming the real culprit is still out there. He insists that only she can expose the truth. As he grips her hand tightly, Mannat starts feeling pain. Noticing this, Vikrant's anger flares up, and he forcefully pushes Fedrick away, demanding to know how he dared to touch her. As Vikrant moves to confront him further, the police step in and warn him to back off. The police soon take Fedrick into custody.

Later, Raveena distributes sweets to everyone, celebrating the situation. Meanwhile, Neetu criticises Puneet for trusting Fedrick and hiring him as a chef. Roni steps in, preventing her from berating Puneet further, and instead advises them to return to London.

Aishwarya later warns Raveena to keep her husband in check. She reminds her that the crucial evidence is still in her possession and advises them not to return to India unless she permits it. Smirking to herself, she believes she is the one shaping her own destiny.
