Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Schemes against Mannat and Vikrant succeed as he ends their bond

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode begins with Puneet confronting Vikrant and expressing his disappointment in Mannat. He accuses her of breaking their trust by informing the media without consulting them, which has tarnished Mezbani's reputation. Meanwhile, Raveena tells Boby that the media has already learned about the situation and worries about what will happen if they uncover the truth. Neetu suggests that Aishwarya can deny everything and claim Mannat is lying. However, Roni believes it's good that the truth is out, while Gagan insists they must pursue the matter to uncover the real culprit. Mallika, on the other hand, reassures them that her mother will handle everything.

As Raveena panics, she accidentally knocks over a vase, drawing Neetu's suspicion. She notices Raveena's anxious behaviour and wonders what is troubling her. Meanwhile, Puneet continues to manipulate Vikrant against Mannat, insisting that only a handful of people knew about the situation, making it likely that Mannat was the one who leaked the news. Fedrick observes that everyone seems to be blaming Mannat, while Aishwarya plans to use emotional tactics to turn Vikrant against her. Puneet keeps reinforcing Mannat's guilt, and later, he confronts her, demanding to know how she dared to tarnish Mezbani's image.

Aishwarya accuses Mannat of disregarding the hard work that went into building the restaurant and blames her for everything falling apart.

Mannat defends herself, stating that she never called the media but only revealed the truth because Aishwarya concealed it from the authorities. Puneet, however, refuses to believe her, although he acknowledges that Vikrant might. Aishwarya continues to frame Mannat, alleging that she deliberately plotted against them. Just then, Vikrant's assistant informs them that several reservations have been canceled. Aishwarya holds Mannat responsible for the damage, further justifying her belief that Mannat thinks wealthy people are selfish and won't seek justice for Shalini. She fabricates a claim that she hired a private investigator to find the culprit.

Despite Mannat's attempts to explain her actions, Puneet insists she contacted the media, prompting Vikrant to silence her. The inspector then arrives, stating that the case is under investigation. He announces that he needs their DNA samples and will review the CCTV footage. Aishwarya immediately suggests that the DNA tests be conducted first. Secretly, she instructs Rabindra to erase the footage. Meanwhile, Vikrant assures Mannat that he, too, will provide his DNA sample. However, when she later tries to clarify the situation, he refuses to listen, convinced that she leaked the information. Meanwhile, Aishwarya pressures Rabindra to delete the footage before Vikrant can access it.

Vikrant, still furious, tells Mannat that he never wants to see her again and orders her to leave immediately. Meanwhile, Aishwarya and Rabindra hide as Vikrant arrives, wondering who had accessed the CCTV room. Later, Mannat visits Vikrant at his home to share something important, but he remains upset. He laments that women were once safe at Mezbani, but now their trust has been shattered. He believes Aishwarya is sincerely trying to fix the situation, while Mannat only made things worse. Mannat insists that Aishwarya lied to the police, but Vikrant refuses to listen, convinced that she doesn't understand the consequences of her actions.

He argues that Aishwarya was closer to Shalini than Mannat and did everything in her power for both Shalini and Mezbani. He is firm in his belief that Mannat leaked the news, accusing her of disregarding other people's dreams. Mannat, however, insists she only wanted to seek justice for Shalini. Enraged, Vikrant says he regrets ever considering her a friend, stating that he even went against his mother for her, only to be proven wrong. He declares that he is no longer her "Babaji's banda" and that she holds no place in his life. From now on, he will treat her strictly as an employee and orders her to leave.

Meanwhile, Fedrick comments on Mannat's actions, prompting Mallika to scold him for interfering in unnecessary matters. She warns him that she will report him to Puneet. Mannat, still heartbroken, confides in Mallika, reassuring her that she never contacted the media. Mallika pretends to support her, promising to clear the misunderstanding and convince Vikrant. Mannat then shares that her mother's liver transplant test is scheduled for today and leaves. However, Mallika, under the guise of being on Mannat's side, actually fuels Vikrant's doubts further. He begins to believe that Mannat lacks the qualities of a good friend.
