On August 23rd, 2024, tensions ran high in the lives of Mangal, Sowmya, and their families, as unexpected events unfolded during the festive Janmashtami celebrations. The episode began with Mangal expressing surprise to Sowmya about an unexpected turn of events. Mangal, who had been confined to a wheelchair, confronted Sowmya, asking why she wasn’t informed about her participation in the dance with Ishana. Sowmya tried to explain, saying she wanted to help Ishana and didn’t think it would be an issue. Mangal assured Sowmya that she wouldn’t have minded if she had known earlier.
Sudesh joined the conversation, praising Mangal for her determination. Despite having an injured leg, Mangal managed to dance with Ishana and win the trophy. Sudesh mentioned how Akshat noticed blood marks on the floor during the event, which added to the intensity of the situation. Mangal then excused herself to get something for them, while Akshat took Ishana and Sudesh away to show them the room’s decorations.
Meanwhile, Sowmya found herself in a difficult position with Adit. She tried to explain her absence from the dance competition, but Adit wasn’t willing to listen. In frustration, Adit hit Sowmya, ignoring her attempts to show her hand injury. Sowmya revealed that she had been hurt at the temple due to an incident with Lakshmi, which was why she couldn’t attend the competition. However, Adit wasn’t convinced and pointed out that only her hand was injured, not her leg. He harshly compared her to Mangal, who had danced despite her injury. Kusum and Mannan arrived home just in time to witness Sowmya holding Adit’s hand, a scene that left them perplexed.
In another part of the house, Karthik called Gayatri to inform her that he and Lakshmi would be late, urging her not to wait for them. Gayatri was puzzled, wondering where Karthik could be taking Lakshmi without informing her.
Sowmya, trying to cover up her tension, pretended to congratulate Adit in front of Kusum and Mannan. However, their attention quickly shifted when they saw Mangal standing on her feet, a sight that shocked everyone. Adit’s family explained what had happened, and Kusum and Mannan expressed their happiness at seeing Mangal’s progress. The atmosphere lightened when Kusum announced that Sowmya’s parents would be coming the next day, on Janmashtami, to finalize the wedding date.
As the celebrations for Janmashtami began the next day, Sowmya’s parents arrived at Adit’s house, and soon after, the pandit joined them. The pandit checked Mannan and Sowmya’s horoscopes and delivered unsettling news: their horoscopes didn’t match, indicating that their marriage might not be possible. This revelation caused a stir, but Mangal suggested they consult another pandit for advice. The pandit reconsidered and mentioned that there was an auspicious date for the wedding in two days. Both families agreed to proceed with the new date.
The preparation for the wedding continued as Kusum asked Mangal to take Sowmya shopping for jewelry. Adit volunteered to accompany them, and Mangal agreed.
The scene shifted to the jewelry store, where an unsuspecting Mangal became the target of a cunning plan. As they shopped, Adit noticed a lady removing her diamond earring and trying on different jewelry. Seizing the opportunity, Adit secretly slipped the earring into Mangal’s grocery bag. He then stepped aside to call Sowmya, revealing his devious plan to frame Mangal and disrupt the wedding. Adit’s intention was clear—by sending Mangal to jail, he hoped to cancel the marriage.
Back at the store, the lady noticed her earring was missing and began searching for it. As tension mounted, someone spotted the earring in Mangal’s grocery bag. The lady immediately accused Mangal of theft, setting the stage for a serious confrontation.
The episode ended on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers anxious about Mangal’s fate and the impact of Adit’s actions on the upcoming wedding.
Episode ends.
