Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Here's how Mallika plans to destroy Mannat's trust in Vikrant

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode opens with Raveena furiously smashing a photo frame and confronting Neetu with a chilling warning—she threatens to put an end to everything if things continue this way. She leaves angrily after issuing the threat. Roni quickly steps in and escorts Neetu away from the tense situation. Meanwhile, Aishwarya senses that something is being kept from her and grows suspicious.

Elsewhere, Puneet confronts Vikrant, urging him to prioritise his parents over everything else. He tells Vikrant that when it comes to family, right and wrong don't matter. He challenges Vikrant to step into his shoes and decide—will he side with justice or with his own blood? Vikrant responds that he understands Puneet's dilemma.

Meanwhile, Mannat informs Vikrant that she plans to stay at Harneet's place. Vikrant insists that she should return home with him, but she refuses, pointing out that his family still holds resentment towards her. He admits that he no longer has the right to demand anything from her, but pleads for another chance. Mannat replies that it's not about giving chances anymore—he simply doesn't understand her pain. Vikrant accuses her of being unforgiving, which she denies. He recalls how she once came to his room and called him a devotee of Babaji, asking him to see the truth.

Trying to shield her, he begs her to listen, but she mocks him, pointing out how the same man who bravely faced thugs was now reduced to tears. Vikrant confesses that he's struggling to accept the current situation. When she teases him again, he asks her to stop. She accuses him of choosing his ego over her requests and reminds him how he insisted she move to Delhi.

Admitting his past mistakes, Vikrant apologises and again pleads with her to come back. Mannat says she can't return to a place where she's unwanted. He assures her that he'll stand by her side, no matter what. His determination wins her over, and she finally agrees to go back with him.

Later, Mallika confronts Aishwarya, fuming that Vikrant chose to take Mannat along while stopping her from joining him. Puneet supports Mallika, recalling how Vikrant reprimanded him at the police station. Aishwarya vents her frustration, declaring that Mannat is becoming a major problem and she wants to find a permanent solution. However, Gagan defends Mannat, praising her values and upbringing.

This sparks a fierce argument between Aishwarya and Gagan. He accuses her of backing a criminal, while she throws the blame back at him, pointing out his own dealings with the same person. Gagan admits to being deceived by Bobby in a business matter but condemns Aishwarya for aiding in concealing a crime and dragging his daughter into it. He accuses her of failing as a mother compared to Shruti's values. Aishwarya loses her cool.

Meanwhile, Mannat silently thanks God for guiding her. But soon, Neetu bluntly tells her to leave the house. Vikrant stands firm, refusing to let Mannat go. Mannat reminds him that she had already told him she wouldn't be staying. Neetu accuses her of lying and demands she leave. Vikrant stands by Mannat and declares she will stay.

Aishwarya steps in, questioning Mannat's right to be there. Vikrant explains that although he had fired Mannat before, that decision was made without knowing the full truth. Now that he knows it, he has re-hired her. Neetu remains adamant and says if Mannat stays, she will leave. Vikrant then announces that if Neetu forces Mannat out, he will leave the house with her. Neetu is left stunned, and Aishwarya tries to calm her down.

Vikrant tells Mannat that they now have crucial evidence in their possession. Mallika overhears this conversation. Mannat asks Vikrant to transfer the data onto a USB and return her phone. When he asks if she trusts him, she tells him she trusts him more than she trusts herself, which surprises him. Overhearing this, Mallika gets an idea.

Worried about Raveena exposing their secrets, Neetu confides in Aishwarya. Mallika suggests a cunning plan—if they destroy the evidence, Mannat will turn against Vikrant and their bond will break. Aishwarya is impressed and emotionally embraces Mallika, calling her the only daughter she truly has.

Back with Vikrant, he assures Mannat that he'll protect the evidence at all costs. If anything happens to it, it could spell the end of their relationship. Meanwhile, Neetu spikes Vikrant's drink while he hides the USB in a locker. She tries to persuade him to support Bobby, but Vikrant refuses and angrily pushes the drink away. Roni steps in and says he'll drink it instead.
