Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Aishwarya HUMILIATES Mannat, announces Shalini's marriage with THIS Saluja BOY

Colors TV's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki continues to captivate audiences with the gripping chemistry between Ayesha Singh and Adnan Khan, along with its constant stream of surprising twists. The story revolves around Mannat, an aspiring chef whose life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Vikrant—whom she believes to be her Babai ka Banda—and Aishwarya, who turns out to be her biological mother. Initially focused on uncovering her true parentage, Mannat is misled when Aishwarya manipulates official records to falsely prove that Sunita is her real mother. Although Mannat remains suspicious, a new twist interrupts her search and changes everything for the Salujas and Mannat.

We recently reported on the shocking kidnapping of Shalini's brother and the Salujas' plan to hold a press conference in its aftermath. Now, we bring you another update with deeper insight into what unfolds during this highly anticipated press meet and how it impacts the ongoing drama.

In the upcoming episode of Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki, tensions rise as Shalini's brother is abducted, as a direct warning to Shalini to stay silent. Despite the fear looming over her, Aishwarya intentionally invites Shalini to a press conference organised by the Salujas. The purpose of this event is to counter the backlash caused by the viral media coverage of Mannat and Harneet's conversation, where Bobby's name was implicated.

With the entire Saluja family present, Aishwarya addresses the media, claiming that false narratives have been circulating for monetary gain. She says that to put an end to the rumours, they've brought Shalini forward—supposedly to speak the truth herself. Aishwarya pretends to support Shalini's bravery, publicly applauding her for her supposed decision to come forward.

Just then, Mannat makes a dramatic entrance with Shalini's kidnapped brother, Adi. Vikrant stands up in shock as Shalini, overwhelmed by emotion, rushes to embrace her brother. Mannat assures her that he's safe now and urges her to speak fearlessly in front of the media. However, the situation takes a surprising turn when Shalini, instead of exposing Bobby, states that he is innocent and denies all the allegations against the Saluja family.

Mannat is taken aback and confronts Shalini for not telling the truth despite everything that has happened. Shalini, however, maintains her stance and claims she is not under any pressure and has chosen to speak freely. She defends the Salujas, emphasising how they've supported her, and questions why Mannat is bent on maligning them.

Trying to get through to her, Mannat points out that the same people she's defending are the ones who harmed her and even kidnapped her brother. She pleads with Shalini to stand for the truth. Vikrant intervenes, attempting to remove Mannat from the venue, but she stands firm, determined not to remain silent. Mannat tries to expose Bobby's involvement in the kidnapping of Shalini’s brother, revealing it was done to suppress the truth. However, Vikrant interrupts her midway, dismissing her claims and questioning the extent of her accusations.

In a desperate attempt to prove her claims, Mannat asks Vikrant to question Adi directly, insisting that a child would never lie. However, under pressure and fear, Adi denies everything, pushing Mannat into a deeper corner.

Aishwarya seizes the moment and attacks Mannat's character in front of the press. She accuses her of taking advantage of Mallika and Vikrant's friendship, entering their lives through Mezbani, and even depending on the Saluja family financially to support her mother. She then questions Mannat's intentions, implying that despite all the help they offered, she is now attempting to ruin them.

Aishwarya further corners Mannat by asking Shalini who asked her to stay back at Mezbani the night of the incident. When Shalini takes Mannat's name, Aishwarya declares that the truth has now been revealed to everyone. With Mannat standing speechless, Aishwarya then proceeds to make the announcement for which the press conference was specifically organised. She declares the family's decision to welcome Shalini into their family by announcing her marriage with Puneet, leaving both Shalini and the rest of the family stunned.
