Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Vikrant nearly uncovers the truth about Dua being his daughter

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode opens with Vishaka informing Aishwarya that she had locked Dua inside a warehouse and frightened her badly. However, Aishwarya is stunned when she realizes that Dua is no longer there. She lashes out at Vishaka, reminding her that Dua was their biggest advantage, and if she has escaped, their entire plan could collapse. Without wasting time, Aishwarya instructs the goons to search for Dua immediately.

At the same time, Bunty manages to video call Mannat. He tells her that Vikrant is not answering his phone, leaving her confused. During the call, Mannat is shocked to see that Dua is with Bunty. Worried, she quickly asks Dua about her location. Vikrant urges Mannat to carefully observe her surroundings and try to identify where she is. Bunty drops a subtle hint, which helps Mannat figure out that Vishaka has kept Dua in the same colony where Mannat spent her childhood. The realization makes Mannat uneasy and overwhelmed, but Vikrant reassures her and tries to calm her down.

Vikrant then tells Dua to find a safe hiding spot and assures her that they are on their way to rescue her. Meanwhile, Yashika grows irritated after Vikrant sends her away in order to focus on helping Mannat. She starts worrying that Vikrant might uncover her truth. Determined to avoid suspicion, she decides to pretend that she is helping him search for Dua.

Yashika soon approaches Vikrant but feels jealous seeing how close he is to Mannat. Vikrant continues encouraging Mannat, asking her to accompany him, but when Yashika insists on joining them, he refuses. Instead, he firmly tells her to stay back at home and keep an eye on Mallika. Frustrated, Yashika demands to know where he is going, but Vikrant ignores her and leaves.

Elsewhere, Dua tells Bunty that they are in danger and must stay hidden to avoid being caught. Back at the other side, Aishwarya mocks Vishaka for failing to handle a child, pointing out that Dua managed to escape under her watch. Hurt by the insult, Vishaka retaliates, accusing Aishwarya of being no better since she hasn’t been able to kill her own daughter. Their argument intensifies as Aishwarya counters by saying Vishaka hasn’t even managed to win her son’s love.

Vishaka fires back, claiming that at least she succeeded in separating him from his parents and breaking his relationship with Mannat. She further blames Aishwarya for falling into Mannat’s trap involving the fake liver test report. According to Vishaka, Mannat manipulated the situation to make Aishwarya believe she was seriously ill, which ultimately exposed their truth. Enraged by the accusation, Aishwarya slaps Vishaka and threatens her, but Vishaka boldly challenges her, saying Vikrant will never forgive Aishwarya no matter what she does.

As the search for Dua continues, Mallika starts planning her escape before anyone notices. Yashika attempts to assist her, but when Roni arrives, she quickly pretends to be keeping watch over Mallika to avoid suspicion. Afraid of being caught, she leaves the place.

Mannat confronts Vikrant about how he failed to trust her earlier, leading to an emotional exchange between them. She opens up about her pain and says she feels alone in love and in life, raising her child all by herself. Vikrant is confused by her words and questions what she means by being alone. He reminds her that she is not alone because Dhairya has always been there for her.

Still emotional, Mannat explains that Dhairya is a kind-hearted person who has always supported her and stood by her side. Vikrant interrupts her, questioning why she is speaking as if Dhairya is doing a huge favor, since he believes Dhairya is Dua’s father and it is his responsibility.

At that moment, Mannat realizes she was on the verge of revealing the truth about Dua. Vikrant becomes suspicious and starts pressing her for clarity, but before she can say anything further, Roni calls Vikrant and interrupts them. Roni shares the good news that the doctor has said Dhairya will regain consciousness soon and that his injury is not very serious.

This update brings relief to both of them. Mannat quickly says they will reach Dua’s location within ten minutes. As they move forward, she silently prays to God, hoping that Dua stays safe.

In the precap, Ravinder attacks Bunty, but Vikrant steps in just in time to save him. The situation takes a serious turn as Vikrant finally gets Vishaka arrested and sends her to jail.
