Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Vikrant misunderstands Mannat, but she proves her innocence and leaves the house

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode begins with Mannat urging Neetu to call the police so she can prove her innocence. However, Neetu instead asks Shalini to check Mannat's bag to ensure nothing is missing. Meanwhile, Aishwarya discreetly signals Sunita, who then pretends to be upset and accuses Mannat of tarnishing her reputation by stealing the bracelet.

Neetu is taken aback and questions Sunita about her statement. Sunita then reveals that she is Mannat's biological mother and abandoned her at birth, leaving her on the seashore. Disowning both Mannat and her mother, Sunita declares she no longer has any ties with them. Furious, Mannat refuses to accept her words, asserting that she has no right to question her upbringing. She firmly states that Sunita is not her mother and displays a photo of Shruthi, declaring her as her real mother. She refuses to let anyone speak ill of her. However, Neetu snatches the photo and insists that Mannat listen to her.

Meanwhile, Gagan takes Kiran aside and confides in her about his efforts to uncover the truth about Vikrant. Since everyone is occupied in the hall, he suggests they take the opportunity to search for evidence against him. Kiran acknowledges his determination and appreciates his efforts.

Back in the hall, Neetu belittles both Mannat and Shruthi, mocking their upbringing. Mannat, unwilling to tolerate such humiliation towards her mother, stands up for herself. She tightly grips Neetu's hand, refusing to let go. At that moment, Vikrant arrives and sees the scene unfold. He immediately intervenes, demanding that Mannat release his mother's hand. He asserts that he will not allow anyone to harm his mother.

Mannat, however, remains steadfast, declaring that she will not allow anyone to insult her mother either. Taking back the photo, she makes it clear that she will not tolerate any disrespect toward Shruthi. Neetu, playing the victim, begins to cry and tries to gain Vikrant's sympathy. She accuses Mannat of publicly insulting her and even stealing Raveena's bracelet. Aishwarya steps in, justifying Neetu's actions by saying she was only trying to ensure the security of the house. She argues that Mannat should not have humiliated Neetu in this manner.

Just then, the police arrive, and Neetu insists that Mannat be arrested, explaining the situation to the inspector. The officer asks Mannat to accompany him to the police station. However, Mannat requests five minutes to clarify her side of the story, stating that her entire life depends on it. If she fails to prove her innocence, she is willing to accept the consequences. Roni grants her permission to speak.

Mannat then explains the sequence of events, stating that she had accidentally spilled curry on Raveena and had taken her to clean the saree. She asks Raveena whether she could have used one hand to clean the saree while using the other to steal the bracelet. Raveena hesitates but eventually nods. Mannat then inquires about the time it takes to remove the bracelet, to which Raveena responds that it takes 30 seconds.

To demonstrate, Mannat reenacts the scenario in front of everyone and asks Vikrant to time her. Roni declares that the time is up, but Mannat proves that the bracelet cannot be removed so easily. She then challenges the inspector and constable to try and remove it themselves, but they too fail. Mannat reveals that the bracelet is expensive and designed with a unique locking mechanism for security. She then requests a screwdriver from Raveena and demonstrates how to unlock it. This confirms that it is impossible to remove it without the right tool, proving that she was falsely accused of theft.

Mannat, emotionally hurt, expresses her frustration at being framed. She states that while others may believe her mother deserved to be abandoned, she refuses to accept such cruel words. She declares that she will endure any insult but will never bow down to injustice. Despite her financial struggles, she upholds her dignity. She explains that she needs money for her mother's medical treatment and is willing to work hard, but she will never resort to stealing. She proved her innocence for her mother's sake and stands firm in her beliefs.

Roni affirms that he never doubted her integrity. The inspector, acknowledging the truth, states that the real culprit must still be found. However, Roni urges him to drop the matter. The inspector then asks Mannat if she wishes to file a complaint, but she declines, saying that proving her innocence is enough for her.

As Mannat packs her bags and gets ready to leave, Vikrant offers to help her pack, but she declines. Vikrant tries to stop her, apologising and explaining that he misunderstood the situation when he saw her holding his mother's hand. He assumed she was at fault because it involved his mother. Mannat immediately counters, stating that it was about her mother, too. However, she firmly refuses to stay, emphasising that Vikrant has already helped her enough. Since this issue is directly linked to her mother’s dignity, Mannat remains firm in her decision to leave the house. She refuses to tolerate any insult toward her mother, no matter the cost. She asserts that while she had no control over her birth, she takes immense pride in the values and upbringing she has received. With this conviction, she decides to walk away, prioritising her self-respect above all else.

Neetu, refusing to let things go, causes a commotion. Vikrant, visibly annoyed, listens as Neetu brings up Mannat's past behaviour, accusing her of creating a drunken scene at his Mezbani event. However, Vikrant corrects her, revealing that it was Shalini who spiked Mannat's drink, and despite knowing the truth, Mannat had stopped him from firing Shalini. Neetu then asks Vikrant if he expects her to apologise to Mannat. Before he can respond, Mallika steps in and assures that she will handle the matter.
