Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Aishwarya asks Mannat to demand Mezbani shares act like a gold digger

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode opens with Mannat confronting Aishwarya and firmly stating that she no longer considers her a mother. Declaring her freedom from their strained relationship, Mannat sets a condition, Aishwarya must agree to donate her liver to Shruthi, or face public humiliation. Mannat threatens to reveal the truth to the world, that Aishwarya is, in fact, Sonia Khanna, her biological mother. She swears on the sea and claims to have recorded the entire conversation as proof.

In response, Aishwarya tries to brush off the threat, insisting that Mannat has no real evidence. But Mannat remains undeterred. She reminds Aishwarya that not only will Vikram cancel his wedding to Mallika after learning the truth, but he will also sever his professional ties with Aishwarya. Mannat exposes the hypocrisy, how Aishwarya despises the poor despite being born and raised in poverty herself. She accuses her of villainising Gagan to manipulate the narrative when, in reality, Aishwarya has been the mastermind behind much of the chaos.

Back at the Salooja residence, a religious ceremony is underway. Aishwarya places a call to Neetu, pretending she's heading to the temple to fulfill a vow she made once Mallika's marriage with Vikram was confirmed. Just as she lies her way through the conversation, Mannat grabs the phone and reminds her that she has no right to use the name Aishwarya anymore, here, she is only Sonia Khanna.

At the hospital, the nurse informs the doctor that Shruthi's condition is deteriorating rapidly, and she requires an urgent liver transplant. Mannat, determined to save her, volunteers Aishwarya for the donation and assures the medical team that she is Shruthi's sister. Meanwhile, Vikram, caught up in his thoughts, finds himself missing Mannat. He longs to see her once more and reflects on their shared memories, feeling regret for how he treated her.

Back in the hospital, Mannat reassures Shruthi that she will find the right donor this time. Soon, the doctor informs her that Sonia Khanna is a liver match for Shruthi. Overwhelmed with relief, Mannat expresses her gratitude. However, the doctor adds that he needs Sonia's signature for the consent form. Mannat realises she must convince Aishwarya to cooperate, as saving her mother is the only priority now.

Mannat checks her phone and notices a missed call and voice message from Vikram but doesn't listen to it immediately. Her anxiety spikes when she discovers that Aishwarya is missing from the ward. She begins searching frantically, suspecting that Aishwarya might be attempting to flee. Elsewhere, Gagan discreetly signals Shalini, who reports that Mannat hasn't disclosed any details yet.

When Aishwarya finally appears, Mannat scolds her for vanishing without informing anyone. Aishwarya calmly says she had gone to pray for her daughter. She justifies her actions by claiming that sometimes, one life must be sacrificed for another to survive. She challenges Mannat to let go of her love to save her mother.

Aishwarya pushes Mannat to end things with Vikram, explaining that he had confessed his feelings for Mannat to Mallika. The wedding with Mallika was nothing more than a setup to make Mannat realise her love for Vikram. But now, Aishwarya insists, Mannat must break his heart by making him believe she's only after his wealth. She must demand his shares in Mezbani, so he's convinced she's a gold digger, ensuring she loses his trust and Mallika can have him instead.

Mannat calls out Aishwarya's manipulative tactics, labelling her vicious. But Aishwarya, without hesitation, admits her selfishness, claiming that Mallika's happiness means everything to her, even if it comes at the cost of Mannat's love. Mannat then shows her the damning evidence she has collected. Cornered, Aishwarya finally accepts that she has no other way out.
