Mannat: Vikrant proposes to Mannat with a pendant, asking her to wear it if she believes they have a future

Tonight's Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki episode opens with Shruthi confiding in Vikrant about Aishwarya's struggles. She expresses that Aishwarya has already endured enough pain and doesn't want to go through the same ordeal again. Gagan steps in to support Shruthi's perspective.

Elsewhere, Deepak rushes to inform Mallika that the kheer has burned. Kiran scolds Mallika, saying she had instructed her to prepare prasad, not something inedible. Mallika admits she has no cooking skills at all. Neetu reminds her that she had studied to become a chef, but Mallika reveals that Mannat used to complete her project work for her. Kiran criticises Aishwarya's upbringing, claiming it is her fault Mallika never learned basic skills. Neetu then directs Mallika to focus on arranging for the puja instead.

Kiran continues to complain, accusing Mallika of showing no shame for her lack of effort. With Vikrant and Roni now against her, Mallika decides she must win Neetu's support. She excuses herself from the conversation.

Meanwhile, Mannat is busy preparing a fresh batch of kheer. Vikrant tastes it and praises her cooking, asking why she chose to prepare it outside instead of at home. Mannat explains that she wanted to avoid unnecessary drama and work peacefully. Vikrant admires her approach and offers to help. She teases him, and when she laughs, he can't help but look at her with affection.

In another corner, Mallika tries her hand at stitching clothes but ends up pricking her finger. Deepak remarks that she's failing because her attention is on her phone rather than the task. Offended, Mallika scolds him for speaking out of turn. Neetu advises her to stop if she can't manage, but Kiran insists she should learn. After repeated failed attempts, Mallika bluntly says she can't do it and suggests ordering the clothes online instead. Neetu tells her to leave the stitching aside and sing a bhajan. Mallika responds that she only knows English songs. Kiran still insists, so Mallika starts singing while reading from her phone. Her performance irritates everyone, prompting Deepak to suggest she simply play the bhajan on her phone and lip-sync. Mallika praises his idea but warns him not to tell anyone.

Back with Vikrant and Mannat, he asks her which colour would suit Krishna better. Mannat votes for yellow, but Vikrant insists on blue. The lighthearted disagreement turns into playful banter, with Vikrant joking about choosing blue when they have a baby someday. As they chat, a chain accidentally falls from his pocket. Both bend to pick it up, bumping their heads twice in the process.

Curious, Mannat asks about the chain, and Vikrant admits he bought it for her but never found the right moment to give it. Vikrant places the pendant in Mannat’s hand, seeking her answer. He conveys that if she truly believes they can be together and have a future, she should wear it during the day’s puja. He adds that the decision must come from her heart and makes it clear he no longer wants any misunderstandings between them. After saying this, he walks away, leaving Mannat gazing at the pendant with a gentle smile.

Later, Mannat helps Shruthi get ready. Shruthi shares her concern for her, but Mannat remarks that Aishwarya seems unwilling to fight for justice.
