Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Vikrant is forced to marry Mallika after family learns about their night together

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode begins with a nurse informing Mannat that her mother, Shruthi, is now fit to be discharged from the hospital, as she has regained consciousness. Overjoyed, Mannat shares her happiness with Shruthi, expressing her relief that she's finally alright.

However, Shruthi is taken aback when she notices Aishwarya standing next to her. Mannat quickly reassures her that there's no need to panic. She reveals that it was Aishwarya who donated a part of her liver to save Shruthi's life. Mannat also tells her that she is aware of her real identity, Sonia Khanna, and that she understands why Shruthi kept the truth hidden. It was all to protect her from Aishwarya's wrath. At this, Aishwarya coldly asks Mannat to take Shruthi and leave the place for good.

Meanwhile, at home, Kiran is furious with Neetu and Roni, holding them responsible for Vikrant's reckless behaviour. She reminds them that such behaviour was never seen in their family, especially before a wedding. Mallika steps in, pretending to defend Vikrant, claiming that he was drunk and hard to control. Kiran sternly tells them this isn't how people behave back in India, unlike London. Neetu tries to calm her down by saying the wedding is still on for today. But Mallika disagrees, revealing that the wedding is nothing but a sham. She reveals that Vikrant has already backed out, though she doesn't share this revelation with everyone. She pretends to walk away but listens in on the ongoing conversation.

Kiran angrily tells Neetu that Vikrant has gone too far. She won't let him betray Mallika. She insists that no matter what happens, Vikrant must marry her today, and they must also give an explanation to Aishwarya and Gagan.

Later, Aishwarya confronts Mannat and asks her to leave Mallika's house and stay away from their lives. Mannat refuses, saying she has no interest in staying with Aishwarya either, but she won't be ordered around. Aishwarya, assuming Mannat still has a voice recording as evidence, tries to delete it from her phone. Mannat gives her the password without resistance. To Aishwarya's surprise, there's no recording. Mannat tells her that she never intended to blackmail her and that she isn't as manipulative. She says she will live life on her own terms.

Back at home, Kiran demands answers from Neetu. Vikrant finally steps forward and says he can't go ahead with marrying Mallika, as he doesn't have any real feelings for her. He says forcing this wedding would only ruin multiple lives. Roni lashes out at him, questioning how he could behave so irresponsibly, especially after getting close to Mallika. He accuses Vikrant of crossing the line and says he didn't raise him to disrespect women.

Vikrant apologizes sincerely, saying he never meant to hurt Mallika and that he was under the influence when the incident happened. He even claims he doesn't remember it clearly. When Kiran asks if he's implying Mallika lied, he quickly denies it. Kiran says she's thankful she saw them together, or else the matter would've been hidden. Vikrant insists he respects Mallika, but Roni tells him he must take responsibility. Neetu declares the wedding will happen as planned, but Vikrant puts his foot down. Roni, in a fit of rage, threatens that they'll end their lives if he refuses. He blames Vikrant's stubborn nature for the chaos. Hearing this, Mallika silently celebrates, pleased that things are going her way.

In another scene, Aishwarya instructs Ravinder to trail Mannat. As Mannat and Shruthi leave the hospital, Aishwarya is confident that Mannat won't make it back alive. She recalls how Mannat once threatened to push her into the sea and believes that the pain she's gone through because of Mannat is far worse than any physical agony. She's determined to seek revenge.

Meanwhile, Mannat begins packing her belongings. She and Shruthi plan to move to Chandigarh, unaware that Ravinder is following them. Back at home, Mallika calls Aishwarya and tells her everything is going as planned and the wedding is happening today. Aishwarya feels overjoyed, Mannat will be gone, her secret will stay buried, and her daughter will be married.
