Mannat: Dhairya quits his job and steps away from everyone, hiding the truth behind an undercover mission

Tonight’s Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode opens with Dhairya telling Mannat that he needs some time alone to get his emotions under control. Mannat refuses to let him go and insists that he stay. Dhairya pleads with everyone not to stop him. Vikrant expresses his concern and tells Dhairya that Dua cannot manage without him, and he should not leave her in such a vulnerable condition. Dhairya explains to Vikrant that he will attend the wedding first and then leave for a few days. Vikrant then asks Mannat to accompany Dhairya. Just then, Dua arrives and raises her complaint against Yuvi.

Dua firmly decides that she wants to leave the Saluja mansion, saying that Yuvi is trying to throw her out, so staying there no longer makes sense. Vikrant tries to calm her down and promises that he will speak to Yuvi about the matter. Later, he confronts Yuvi in anger. Bunty has already narrated everything to him. Yuvi assumes Vikrant will scold him for Dua, but he instead accuses Vikrant of caring more about Yuvi than him. He even says he will not hesitate to send Yuvi to boarding school for Dua’s sake. Vikrant firmly rejects this idea and makes Yuvi understand that Dua is his daughter while Yuvi is his friend, and both are equally family. He insists that they must live together and that Yuvi should accept Dua as part of their family. Neetu and Yashika overhear this conversation.

Dua still remains determined to leave the house. To make her understand, Dhairya narrates the story of Krishna. He explains how Krishna had two mothers—Devaki and Yashoda—and he never differentiated between their love. Dhairya tells Dua that she is fortunate to have two fathers who love her deeply. Vikrant cares for her a lot, and she should give him a chance instead of pushing him away. He gently asks her why she cannot accept Vikrant as her father. Influenced by Dhairya’s words, Dua agrees, and Vikrant feels extremely happy.

Later, Vikrant discusses Dhairya’s decision with his parents and expresses that he does not want him to leave. Roni says he will try to convince Dhairya to stay and also asks Mannat to go along with him. However, Neetu tells Vikrant that there is no need to stop Dhairya and suggests letting him leave. Vikrant gets angry at Neetu for adding more complications. Yashika further instigates Neetu against Dhairya, while Mallika says Neetu should instead blame Mannat, as she is the root of all issues. She reminds Neetu that Vikrant has already scolded her multiple times because of Mannat. Neetu, on the other hand, believes Mannat and Vikrant should be united.

Mallika tells Neetu that Dhairya has lived with Mannat for seven years, so their bond is naturally strong. She questions how Neetu still thinks Mannat can be brought closer to Vikrant. Yashika supports Mallika’s point, agreeing that Vikrant’s love for Mannat is unconditional. She smirks at Neetu and walks away, leaving her upset. Roni and Mannat follow Dhairya to the police station, where he officially resigns from his job. He becomes emotional as he looks at his police uniform one last time.

Meanwhile, Vikrant tries to talk to Dua and clear the misunderstandings between them. He offers her a cupcake in an attempt to cheer her up and rebuild their bond.

Dhairya lies to Mannat, saying that he has taken a long leave and is only submitting his belongings at the police station as part of routine formalities. He hides the truth that he has actually resigned. Roni warns him not to leave the house and insists that he should stay for Dua’s sake. Dhairya then claims that he has been assigned an undercover mission, making it necessary for him to go. He assures them that no one can separate him from Dua and that she is the most important part of his life. However, Roni feels that Dhairya is hiding something deeper and is not being fully honest about his intentions.

In the precap, Vikrant proposes marriage to Mannat, and she accepts his proposal. Meanwhile, Dhairya becomes determined to disrupt their wedding plans.
