Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Mallika steps in, shattering the moment between Vikrant and Mannat

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki starts with Vikrant urging Shalini to slap Bobby, reminding her that she's not alone—he's with her. Mannat also encourages Shalini, telling her to channel her anger and not forget the trauma Bobby put her through. As tensions rise, Vikrant warns Bobby that his end is near.

Bobby, attempting to deflect blame, insists that Shalini is at fault. He claims that Mannat's choice of attire and behaviour misled people and accuses her of seducing wealthy men. He tries to portray himself as innocent, saying Shalini had consented to what happened. However, his justifications enrage Shalini, who finally slaps him across the face.

Raveena scolds Shalini for her action, but Mannat stands her ground, declaring that someone like Bobby deserves nothing less. She shames him for his twisted mindset, questioning how a woman's clothes can be used to justify such a heinous act. She asserts that every woman has the right to say no and should never be blamed for someone else's misconduct.

Bobby threatens Mannat in return, but Vikrant loses control and physically assaults him. Raveena pleads with Vikrant to stop, but he refuses, furious that they all lied to him just to shield a criminal like Bobby. Shalini tearfully apologises to Mannat, admitting that she had been fighting this battle alone, forced into silence by threats and fear.

Soon, the police arrive and arrest Bobby. As they try to take him away, Bobby shouts that he also has a truth to share, leaving Neetu and Roni stunned.

Meanwhile, Nikhil's family is heartbroken over the Salujas' actions. Nikhil's mother demands he remove the engagement ring and return it. He complies silently. Raveena then confronts Vikrant, accusing him of ruining her daughter's life too. Vikrant defends himself, saying Shalini is his sister, too, and he has every right to care about her future.

Vikrant turns to Nikhil and questions his intentions, pointing out that he once claimed to love Anu. Nikhil's mother argues when Vikrant suggests that a father's crime shouldn't define his daughter. Nikhil walks away but Vikrant and Mallika comfort Anu, who is distraught.

Later, Vikrant sincerely apologises to Shalini for the pain she endured, promising to be a responsible brother from now on. Shalini acknowledges his support and calls him Babaji's chosen one. In a dramatic moment, Raveena faints.

Aishwarya, watching from a distance, grows bitter and blames Mannat for Vikrant lashing out at her earlier. She vows not to let Mannat go unpunished. Vikrant's assistant advises against sending Shalini home and suggests putting her up at a hotel instead.

Shalini hugs Mannat and expresses her heartfelt gratitude, asking her to take care of Vikrant in her absence. Vikrant kneels before Mannat to apologise for doubting her and admits he crossed a line. Mannat reassures him, saying he acted out of concern for his family. Vikrant regrets not trusting her again and feels ashamed.

Mannat, however, consoles him, saying that he stood up for justice and that's what matters. She tells him Shalini, too, sees him as Babaji's messenger. They share a quiet moment of emotional reconciliation as she wraps him in a heartfelt embrace. After a long, silent hug, their eyes meet—still lost in each other's closeness, locked in a gaze that speaks volumes without a single word. Elsewhere, Mallika tells Aishwarya she won't be joining them. She believes Mannat has already started changing Vikrant's heart. Aishwarya then manipulates Neetu, warning her that if they don't act now, they could lose Vikrant to Mannat entirely.

Neetu, alarmed, swears she won't let Mannat get any closer to Vikrant. Aishwarya echoes the fear, saying that everything is slipping from their grasp—even her own son. Neetu vows to go to any extent to separate Vikrant and Mannat.

Mallika is stunned to witness the growing closeness between Mannat and Vikrant. Unable to bear the sight, she steps in to break their moment. Mallika, feeling insecure after seeing Vikrant with Mannat, pretends to make amends with Mannat just to gain Vikrant's attention. Mannat informs her that she and Vikrant are heading to the police station. Mallika offers to join, but Vikrant refuses. Feeling rejected, Mallika grows more determined to come between them.

Meanwhile, Gagan expresses regret to Aishwarya, saying they made a terrible mistake. Kiran agrees, calling their support of Bobby a grave sin. Gagan accuses Aishwarya of orchestrating the entire situation and questions her morals. Aishwarya snaps back, reminding him that she saved him from getting arrested too. Gagan argues that while his errors were in business, Bobby's actions were far worse. Raveena then blames Vikrant for all the chaos, questioning his authority. Neetu interrupts her before she can reveal too much.

Later, Vikrant fumes on seeing Puneet arrive with a lawyer. Mannat tries to calm him down. Puneet explains his side of things to Vikrant. In a separate moment, Neetu asks Raveena for time to set things right.

Aishwarya, suspicious, wonders what secret Neetu is hiding from everyone.
