Mannat: Gagan shatters over Aishwarya’s truth; Mannat heartbroken learning about Vikrant-Mallika night

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode opens with Mannat standing her ground in front of Vikrant. She firmly tells him that she's not his subordinate, so he has no right to raise his voice at her. Her words have finally started reaching people, and now, money and power have given her the platform to be heard. Mannat believes missing this opportunity would be foolish. She admits she chose wealth, just like Vikrant chose to be Mallika's husband.

Mallika confronts Aishwarya and says what happened wasn't fair. Aishwarya defends herself by claiming she did everything for Mallika's good. However, the family turns against her for taking a major decision without consulting anyone. Puneet accuses her of ruining his life.

Vikrant, shaken, tells Aishwarya that she has finally revealed her true nature. He says he's glad he ended up with someone like Mallika and is curious to see how far this drama will go. Mannat reminds everyone that they come from educated and well-off families and should behave with decency. She adds that her mother needs rest, and Aishwarya quietly walks away. Mallika, on the other hand, feels disappointed.

Elsewhere, Gagan is confused about Mannat's recent actions, especially her decision to protect Aishwarya. When he sees her, he apologises for Mallika's behaviour. He tells Mannat he knows she loved Vikrant and that Aishwarya took him away from her. According to him, love is essential in a marriage.

Mannat says it's just how fate played out. Gagan accuses Aishwarya of orchestrating everything. He congratulates Mannat on her mother's recovery and asks why Aishwarya came to the hospital. Mannat reveals that Aishwarya came to donate her liver, shocking him. She finally admits that Aishwarya is her biological mother, and she is Sonia Khanna, sister to Shruthi Khanna.

Vikrant, heartbroken by everything, wrecks his room in anger. Neetu tries to comfort him and subtly fills his ears against Mannat, saying she's not the right person for him. She tells him to stay away from Mannat. Meanwhile, Mallika sees this as her chance to get close to Vikrant. She pretends to support him and assures him she'll always be by his side. Neetu compares Mallika to Mannat and praises Mallika's maturity. She encourages Vikrant to be happy with Mallika. When Mallika tries to get closer to him, Vikrant leaves the room.

Later, Gagan is deeply affected after discovering that Aishwarya is Mannat's mother. Mannat says they now understand why Aishwarya kept targeting her, it was to protect her hidden past. Gagan accuses Aishwarya of torturing them to keep her secrets buried. He is furious and wants to confront her. Mannat warns him to stay calm because Aishwarya has already gone to dangerous lengths to hide the truth, including murdering Sunita and attacking several others. Mannat tells him that Aishwarya won't hesitate to hurt him or his family if she finds out he knows the truth. Since the shares are now in Mannat's name, Aishwarya is being quiet. She advises Gagan to be careful. Gagan hugs her and blesses her.

Meanwhile, Roni scolds Aishwarya for making impulsive decisions without thinking. Aishwarya shifts the blame to Vikrant, claiming he took advantage of Mallika's innocence. She says that as a mother, she made the best choice for her daughter. She believes Vikrant still loves Mannat, who, in her eyes, only values money. Aishwarya insists that everything she did was out of love for her daughter.

Neetu speaks to Aishwarya and says Vikrant seems more invested in Mallika now. She then notices Mannat nearby and deliberately tries to create confusion. She tells Aishwarya that Vikrant was intimate with Mallika because he loves her, not Mannat. Aishwarya agrees with her.

Roni then suggests forgetting about the shares altogether. Mannat overhears all this and is shattered. She remembers Vikrant confessing his love to her, yet he was with Mallika the same night. She feels betrayed and breaks down. She decides she needs to be strong. When Vikrant approaches and offers her a handkerchief, she pushes him away.

Vikrant says he came to talk despite everything. He admits he was wrong. But Mannat says she doesn't need his sympathy. She calls him a cheater. Vikrant claims he truly loves her and that she sold his love for wealth. Mannat retorts that if his love were real, he wouldn't have run to Mallika the moment she stepped away. She says she didn't turn to someone else overnight, unlike him.

Vikrant angrily asks what right she has to question his feelings. Mannat says that love is based on trust, which he clearly lacks. She tells him it's all over between them. He yells that he'll hate her forever, and she coldly replies that she doesn't care.

Towards the end, Aishwarya tries to throw Shruthi out of the room, but Mannat intervenes. She firmly pushes Aishwarya out and tosses her belongings after her. She says that Aishwarya took everything from her, so she won't allow her to stay in peace. Aishwarya warns her she'll regret it. Shruthi comforts Mannat, but Mannat insists that Aishwarya deserved this treatment.
