Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Mallika takes Vikrant on a long drive using Mannat's name

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode begins with Mannat informing the inspector that she discovered Shalini in Mezbani's kitchen, not on the road. The inspector is taken aback by this revelation. Aishwarya immediately refutes Mannat's statement, accusing her of lying.

The doctor supports Aishwarya's claim and falsely tells the police that Mannat had previously stated she found Shalini on the roadside. Shocked, Mannat challenges him, questioning when she ever said such a thing. The doctor, unfazed, asserts that he has no reason to lie and instructs the security to remove Mannat from the premises without any disturbance. Mannat repeatedly insists that she is telling the truth, but Aishwarya continues to discredit her in front of the inspector, claiming that Shalini is her assistant.

Aishwarya further elaborates that Shalini is a responsible girl who has always been loyal to her. To reinforce her claim, she even offers to cover all of Shalini's medical expenses. The inspector, however, questions why Mannat would say she found Shalini on the road if that wasn't true. Aishwarya suggests that Mannat might be doing it for financial gain, insinuating that she could demand money in exchange for a false statement. She even brings up Mannat's mother's ongoing treatment at the hospital, implying that Mannat is in desperate need of funds. Hearing this, Mannat becomes agitated. Aishwarya further claims that Shalini had already left work early and that she only came to know about the incident after returning from a wedding. She then tells the inspector that if any further assistance is required, he should reach out to her father-in-law.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya discreetly texts Puneet, asking him to meet her at Mezbani as soon as possible. Mannat, furious over Aishwarya's deception, confronts her directly. She demands to know how Aishwarya could fabricate lies to mislead the police. Aishwarya, in turn, warns Mannat to stay out of the matter. However, Mannat refuses to back down, insisting that Shalini was assaulted and that Aishwarya is deliberately concealing the truth. Aishwarya defends her stance, arguing that she will not let Mezbani's name be dragged into controversy. She reminds Mannat about her mother's treatment and warns her not to take unnecessary risks.

Mannat, frustrated, points out that she is young enough to be Aishwarya's daughter. Aishwarya coldly retorts that she is not her mother. Mannat clarifies that she never implied such a thing but questions how Aishwarya can turn a blind eye to Shalini's suffering. She also reminds Aishwarya that she once spiked her drink and falsely accused her of theft. Mannat threatens to expose her, but Aishwarya retaliates by using her mother's medical condition as leverage.

Elsewhere, Vikrant's assistant informs him that Mannat had visited the hospital for some tests along with Sunita. Vikrant is hurt that she kept this from him. Just as he is processing this, Mannat calls him to discuss Shalini's situation. However, Vikrant, still upset, doesn't engage in the conversation and quickly disconnects the call. Meanwhile, Mallika invites him for a long drive, but he initially refuses. Sensing an opportunity, Mallika lies to him, saying she plans to surprise Mannat, as she has been feeling down due to her mother's situation. Feeling guilty for ignoring Mannat, Vikrant finally agrees to accompany Mallika.

On the other hand, Aishwarya updates Puneet about everything that has transpired. She emphasizes the urgency of handling the matter before Shalini regains consciousness. She informs him that while Shalini is no longer in danger, she has no idea who attacked her. However, since the incident occurred at Mezbani, it could severely damage their reputation. Aishwarya is worried that if word spreads, their business will collapse, and potential partners will hesitate to associate with them. Puneet acknowledges the gravity of the situation and agrees that they need to act quickly. Aishwarya also stresses that Vikrant and Mannat must not meet until she resolves the crisis. Puneet, troubled by the situation, begins to wonder who could be responsible for the attack.

Meanwhile, Raveena tries to wake Bobi and is startled when she notices scratch marks on his hand. Panic sets in as she fears the worst and anxiously questions him about his actions. She warns him that this isn't London but India, implying that he needs to be cautious. Suddenly, she hears Mannat's raised voice in the background.

At the same time, Puneet asks Aishwarya if Shalini mentioned Mezbani's name. Aishwarya assures him that since Shalini comes from an underprivileged background, she will not speak out if offered financial compensation. She believes they can silence her by taking care of her medical expenses.

Later, Mannat attempts to reveal the truth to the family, but Neetu and Raveena make things difficult for her. Despite their resistance, she exposes the reality of what happened. Roni decides to inform Vikrant about the matter, but Rajendran prevents him from doing so. Meanwhile, Puneet calls Mannat back to Mezbani, intending to manipulate her into keeping quiet. Vikrant, on the other hand, remains oblivious to the unfolding crisis as he chats with Mallika, completely unaware of the truth.
