Mannat: Aishwarya takes knife stab to save Mannat, vows to protect her from the past she endured

Colors TV's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki is getting more intense with every episode. Now that Mannat knows the truth about Mallika and Aishwarya, she's not holding back and is making sure they face the consequences of their actions. From smartly shifting the business partnership from Aishwarya's name to her own, to exposing Mallika's fake suicide drama, Mannat is taking a strong stand. But Mallika isn't done yet. In a cruel move, she hires goons to attack Mannat and ruin her life. She even tricks Vikrant into leaving with her, making sure Mannat is left alone during the assault.

As shown in the recently released promo, Mannat finds herself in a terrifying situation as three men with bad intentions approach her. Alone and frightened, she screams for help. One of the men pushes her to the ground, grabs her leg, and ties her hands, while she pleads for mercy. Upon overhearing the goons' conversation, Mannat is left shocked to learn that Mallika is the mastermind behind the attack. Realising that Mallika stooped so low as to plan such a horrific assault on her, Mannat is shaken by the depth of her cruelty and betrayal. The situation turns more disturbing as one of them tries to pull off her dupatta, making his intentions clear. Just when things are about to get worse, Aishwarya arrives and bravely steps in.

In the upcoming episode of Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki, Aishwarya makes a shocking entry, smashes a glass bottle on one of the attackers and fights them off using a stick, showing no fear. She bravely confronts the goons, reminding them that while they may think Mannat has no father or boyfriend to protect her, her mother is very much alive and standing right in front of them. This shock Mannat not just because Aishwarya came to save her, but also because it's the first time she openly accepted being her mother. Aishwarya declares that she won't let anyone disrespect Mannat and begins beating the goons with full force, warning them to never lay a hand on her daughter.

Mannat is shocked by Aishwarya's actions but quickly gathers herself, unties her hands and legs, and gets back on her feet. Meanwhile, Aishwarya, who is now injured, collapses to the ground. Just as the goons try to attack her again, Mannat steps in and starts hitting them in return, protecting Aishwarya.

Soon, Aishwarya gets up and reaches out to touch Mannat with affection. She then takes the stick from Mannat's hand and says that as long as she is alive, she won't let her past repeat itself, hinting that she has faced a similar trauma before, which she has kept hidden. She then continues to fight off the goons.

However, the danger isn't over. One of the goons tries to attack Mannat with a knife. Aishwarya screams for her to move aside, but when Mannat doesn't react, Aishwarya rushes to her and pushes her out of the way, taking the knife wound on her own arm. Even while injured, she manages to push the attacker down, refusing to back off.

Later in the storyline, after returning home from the hospital, the entire family is shocked to see Aishwarya's injured condition. Mannat then reveals everything that happened, including how they were attacked and how Aishwarya stepped in to protect her. This leaves Mallika devastated, as her plan to destroy Mannat fails because of Aishwarya's unexpected support.

Mallika's worst fear comes true when she realises that her plan has failed because Aishwarya protected Mannat. The same Aishwarya who had once promised to always prioritise her. Mallika starts feeling that Mannat has taken Aishwarya away from her as well, and this thought only makes her anger worse. So much so that when the situation arises to donate blood to Aishwarya, Mallika’s blood group doesn’t match with Aishwarya’s, but she bluntly states that even if it had matched, she wouldn’t have donated it to her. Meanwhile, Aishwarya is soon taken to her room, where the family gathers around her with concern. Watching Mannat care for Aishwarya, Mallika can no longer stay silent and ends up revealing the truth about their bond. She shocks everyone by announcing that Mannat's biological mother is Aishwarya.
