Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Vikrant lashes out at Mannat after Neetu’s shocking claim

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode opens with Dhairya firmly telling Vishaka not to create any drama during the haldi celebration. He reminds her that he brought her here only after taking Mannat's permission, and she is allowed to watch the function only from a distance. Vishaka questions whether he really thinks she would cause trouble, but Dhairya maintains that he is simply warning her in advance. Just then, Roni and Neetu arrive with Vikrant. Mallika watches Vikrant closely, unable to hide her irritation.

Vikrant and Mannat’s Dance Lights Up the Celebration

Vikrant joins Mannat for a dance, while Aishwarya keeps a constant eye on Mannat's every move. Soon, the haldi ceremony begins. The family members take turns applying haldi to Mannat and Vikrant, and Neetu beams with happiness throughout. Meanwhile, Gagan stumbles upon a gift meant for Mannat. He reveals that it is a blessing from her father. Mannat is taken aback when she sees the costly necklace inside the box.

Mallika, however, becomes upset, thinking the necklace should have been her right. She looks angrily at her mother, feeling ignored and replaced.

Aishwarya Secretly Swaps the Haldi

A little later, Neetu calls Dhairya to the stage, asking him to sing for the couple. Everyone insists until he finally agrees. Dhairya sings an emotional song, and Mannat gets teary-eyed. He gestures for her to smile, and even gets Vikrant to laugh during the performance. Neetu and Roni then lead Dhriti aside, giving Dhairya space to pull Mannat and Vikrant onto the floor for a dance. The crowd applauds warmly. After the dance, Neetu tells Mannat to freshen up. Aishwarya uses that moment to signal Vishaka. Vishaka pretends to cough, and Neetu sets the haldi bowl aside. Aishwarya quietly swaps the original haldi with another one.

Vikrant then turns to Vishaka and asks whether she applied haldi to Mannat. He tells her he wants her blessings as well. Vishaka hesitates, saying she believed only family members could do so, but Vikrant assures her that she is also part of his family. He sends Neetu to bring the haldi, and Neetu assumes Vishaka is pulling this stunt to draw Vikrant's attention. She worries that Vikrant might end up misunderstanding her.

Aishwarya Plants Evidence in Vikrant’s Room

At that moment, Aishwarya intentionally knocks over a glass. Neetu asks Deepak to clean the mess. Taking advantage of the distraction, Vishaka gives Aishwarya a signal and touches the haldi bowl, only for sharp glass pieces to pierce her palm. Everyone is stunned. While the family rushes to her, Aishwarya quietly slips away and enters Vikrant's room. She hides an incriminating item inside the jewellery box.

Just then, Vikrant walks in and questions why she is there. Aishwarya lies, saying she was looking for a first-aid kit. Vikrant picks up the box and leaves. Aishwarya thinks to herself that people seem happier when she is not around, but the real chaos is only starting. Meanwhile, Vikrant tends to Vishaka's wound and applies ointment to her injured hand.

Kairath asks Vishaka whether Neetu is responsible for the injury, but she denies it. Mannat suggests that the glass might have fallen into the haldi by mistake and stands up for Neetu. Vikrant, however, appears unconvinced. Later, Mallika slips a medicine bottle into Neetu's purse, trying to frame her.

Precap for the Next Episode

In the precap, the haldi festivities continue with full energy, music, and dancing. After the performances, Neetu asks Vikrant and Mannat to offer naik to the transgenders as part of the tradition. When Neetu opens her purse to take out money, several items slip out and fall to the floor. Among the things that drop, the medicine bottle also rolls out.

Vikrant bends down to help her gather everything. While picking up the items, he notices the medicine container and recognises it as something dangerous. He questions who it belongs to. Neetu immediately says the medicine is hers and adds that she had discussed it with Mannat, leaving Mannat stunned.

Hearing this, Vikrant loses his temper. He says that his mother had spoken to Neetu about this very medicine and asks why she chose to hide it from him. The situation leaves Neetu shocked as Vikrant’s anger grows.
