Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Puneet accuses Bobby of having a loose character

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode opens with Bobby falsely claiming to Puneet that Mannat slapped him. Raveena immediately confronts him for lying. Mannat defends her action, asserting that Bobby deserved it and warns that once the truth comes out, the public won't spare him. Puneet is visibly disturbed by her words. Bobby then tries to manipulate the situation further by alleging that he overheard Mannat pressuring Shalini into lying. Mannat responds bitterly, saying she knew no one would trust her version of events. Vikrant tells her to leave, stating he needs time to figure out the cause of his sudden bouts of dizziness.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya recalls how Mannat had threatened her and vows to eliminate her, referring to Mannat as the biggest mistake of her life. Gagan, puzzled by her words, questions what she means. On the other side, Vikrant washes his face, confused about his deteriorating health. Mannat confronts him for refusing to listen to her or investigate the truth. He begins to feel dizzy again. Seeing his condition, Mannat tries to help him with his headache.

Noticing a black mark on Mannat's face, Vikrant asks how she got hurt. Mannat snaps back, asking why he suddenly cares. He gently responds that he does care, and helps clean the mark from her face. Gagan, meanwhile, questions Aishwarya's odd behaviour whenever Mannat is around. Mallika supports Aishwarya, saying that Mannat has brought nothing but turmoil into their lives. She also mentions that they were supposed to discuss Shalini and Puneet's engagement that day. Gagan advises her to stay calm and walks away while Aishwarya breaks down in Mallika's arms.

Vikrant again questions Mannat about the mark on her face and how she got it. Mannat replies that it's her heart that's shattered, not his, and questions his concern. After he finishes wiping her face, she sarcastically tells him he should also wipe the fog from his eyes so he can finally see the truth. With that, she walks away.

Later, Laksh compliments the decorations and tells Puneet it's a perfect day. But Puneet, clearly unhappy, lashes out at him. He then confides in Raveena that he's being forced into an engagement he never wanted. Bobby insists that the engagement must go ahead, reminding Puneet of the trouble he caused in London and how he had to apologise to Roni on his behalf. Puneet retorts that he's ashamed to call Bobby his father, labelling him a loose character and a terrible husband and parent. When Bobby raises his hand to hit Puneet, Roni intervenes, reminding them that they're in the middle of a celebration, not at home, and that such confrontations could be overheard by staff. Roni hints that he's been covering up Bobby's wrongdoings to protect the family name.

As the engagement ceremony begins, Vikrant finds himself lost in thought, haunted by Mannat's words. Neetu checks in on him and asks if Mannat is the reason behind his troubled state. Vikrant defends her, saying she shouldn't be blamed for everything. Elsewhere, Anu complains to her mother about the lack of Bollywood celebrity guests at the event. Her mom reassures her that she'll invite stars to Anu's wedding.

Mallika expresses her excitement to Aishwarya, saying that with Puneet and Shalini's engagement now set, her own wedding to Vikrant is next. She jokingly asks her mother not to surprise her with an impromptu engagement like last time. They share a warm hug. Kiran tells Gagan that something seems off about Aishwarya's behaviour. Meanwhile, Vikrant assures Shalini that he'll always support her as a brother. Shalini tries to speak to him, but Aishwarya arrives and asks for her phone, saying it's in her purse. Raveena calls Puneet to join the engagement, but he refuses. Aishwarya steps in, urging him to come forward. Puneet accuses her of controlling his life and blames her for forcing him into this situation. He also accuses her of pretending to be innocent when she was the one who drugged Mannat and locked her in a freezer.

Mallika announces both Puneet and Shalini's engagement as well as Nikhil and Anu's upcoming wedding, and then performs a dance. Raveena grabs the ring from Bobby and hands it over to Roni. Bobby fumes internally, feeling that everyone in his family is turning against him because of Mannat. He vows not to spare her. He sneaks Shalini's phone out of Aishwarya's bag and sends a message to Mannat. Watching the event live, Mannat quickly realises that Bobby is up to something and replies to his message.

Vikrant tells Gagan that the family seems genuinely happy. Gagan agrees but warns him not to take everything at face value, pointing out Aishwarya's strangely cheerful demeanor. Meanwhile, Bobby plots his next move, determined to make Mannat pay.
