Mannat: Aishwarya celebrates victory, while Mannat is shattered seeing Vikrant’s wedding announcement

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode begins with Aishwarya confidently convincing herself that everything in the Salooja house rightfully belongs to her. She's determined to make Mannat pay for crossing her and plans to take over both the family home and business. She feels victorious once again.

At the same time, Mannat informs Shruti that she no longer needs to visit the hospital, as her condition has improved. Shruti, however, probes deeper and asks Mannat what Aishwarya demanded in return for helping save her life.

Mannat pretends to be unaware of what Shruti is hinting at. But Shruti, who knows her sister too well, says that Aishwarya never does anything selflessly. Mannat denies any such bargain. Her attention shifts when she notices the newspaper article announcing Vikrant and Mallika's wedding.

Meanwhile, Ravinder is seen trailing Mannat's car secretly.

Later, Aishwarya questions Deepak about the absence of any wedding decorations. Deepak informs her that Vikrant himself instructed them to dismantle the mandap. Vikrant, lost in his own emotional turmoil, seems distant.

Shruti urges Mannat to return to the Salooja mansion, but Mannat insists she's planning to start fresh in Delhi. Shruti accuses her of being heartbroken after seeing the news of Vikrant's marriage. She suspects Aishwarya forced Mannat to choose between her mother and her love, and Mannat chose her mother. Shruti believes Mannat sacrificed her relationship with Vikrant for Shruti's sake. Mannat denies this and says all she wants is her mother's well-being.

Elsewhere, Vikrant is drowning in guilt and confusion. He feels broken by Mannat's silence and tormented by his recent actions. He can't understand what really happened the previous night and is unable to recall anything clearly. Despite the circumstances, he knows he could never exploit any woman and feels deep remorse. His heart still belongs to Mannat, and he feels trapped in a marriage that's nothing more than a business deal.

Vikrant questions how he can go ahead with marrying Mallika when he doesn't love her. He admits to himself that it's Mannat he truly wants.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya confronts Mallika and asks her what's wrong. Mallika breaks down and hugs her, but brushes it off as nothing major. She confesses that Vikrant has cancelled all the wedding preparations and was planning to tell the truth to Roni. She couldn't stop him in time.

Mallika explains that Vikrant mistook her for Mannat and that she manipulated the situation to her advantage. Aishwarya brushes off Mallika's pain and coldly remarks that even if Vikrant were in love with a street dog, it wouldn't matter, money is more important than love. She believes their luxurious lifestyle is what truly counts.

Mallika reveals she has already published their wedding announcement in the newspaper, trying to cement the situation. Just then, Kiran scolds Aishwarya for encouraging Mallika instead of reprimanding her for her actions. Gagan also intervenes and questions Aishwarya about where she had been the previous night. She lies that she was at a temple praying for her daughter's future. Gagan, however, senses deception and silently notes that Aishwarya can't escape Mannat's wrath for long.

Later, Mannat confides in Shruti, expressing concern that she might end up becoming like Aishwarya. Shruti reassures her, saying she only pretended to be like Aishwarya to protect her mother, and that doesn't make her bad. Mannat promises that she'll never allow herself to become like Aishwarya, no matter what.

Back at the Salooja mansion, the wedding rituals begin, albeit in a tense atmosphere. Raveena whispers to Puneet that Aishwarya had once dreamt of organising a grand wedding for her daughter, but things have turned out quite differently. Puneet adds that Vikrant's heart still beats for Mannat, and he doubts the marriage with Mallika will happen.

Aishwarya arrives with Mallika, attempting to push the wedding forward. Gagan tells his mother that Aishwarya is manipulating Vikrant into this wedding despite knowing he doesn't love Mallika. All she cares about is wealth, not emotions.

Roni angrily warns Vikrant to come down for the ceremony. Aishwarya, watching from afar, believes she has finally won, her daughter will marry into the Salooja family.
